The skid plate for my 2022 F350 fit perfectly and was easy to install. Its a very sturdy plate secured with good hardware, I believe its gonna do the job, or at least give me piece of mind that I won't end up with a hole in my oil pan/filter.

Step-by-step install guideThe largest, lowest, most exposed component under your Super Duty leaves the factory with zero protection.
Your Super Duty's fuel tank is big, hangs low, and comes from Ford completely bare — one sharp rock, ice chunk, or piece of road debris can dent or puncture it. A punctured tank doesn't just leak fuel; it strands the truck wherever it happened and turns into a tow plus a four-figure tank replacement. This plate puts a quarter inch of solid aluminum between your tank and whatever the road or trail throws up at it.
Aluminum can't rust the way steel plates do — every scratch on steel armor is where corrosion starts, especially with road salt. Ours is 1/4" 5052 aluminum, powder-coated black, CNC plasma-cut and press-brake formed in our Wheat Ridge, Colorado shop.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS
If this is anything like the engine/trans plate, it should be perfect. If it’s not 5 stars, I updated my review… will install in spring when it’s not 0f outside.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common questions about our skid plates and armor
Does it fit both gas and diesel engines?
Yes — with oil-filter access for the 6.7L diesel, the 7.3L gas, and the smaller 6.8L V8 gas engine.
Does it fit the Super Duty Tremor?
Yes — and it works alongside the factory Tremor transfer-case skid plate.
Does it upgrade the factory fuel tank skid?
Yes — our fuel tank skid replaces the factory fiberglass skid with aluminum, mounted to the frame instead of the tank.
Does it fit F450 and F550?
Yes — fits F250, F350, F450, and F550.
What is a skid plate, and what does it protect?
Underbody armor that shields your oil pan, transmission, catalytic converter, transfer case, and front differential from rocks, road debris, potholes, and trail impacts.
What are Juggernaut skid plates made of?
1/4" 5052-H32 aluminum, powder-coated black, with steel mounting brackets where needed — made in-house in Wheat Ridge, Colorado from US-sourced aluminum.
Why aluminum instead of steel?
Aluminum is roughly half the weight of steel and won't rust — full-strength underbody protection without the weight penalty or corrosion of steel armor.
Will a skid plate hurt my gas mileage?
Negligibly — an aluminum set weighs about half what steel does, so the added weight is minimal.
Do I need one if I mostly drive on the street?
Yes — potholes, road debris, and steep driveways damage undercarriages even off the trail. It's cheap insurance against expensive repairs.
Do I have to drill or modify my vehicle to install it?
No — every Juggernaut skid plate is 100% bolt-on to factory mounting points. No drilling, cutting, or welding.
Can I install it myself?
Yes — bolt-on installation with basic hand tools, usually about 1–2 hours. Step-by-step guides are on each product's install page.
Can I still change my oil with the skid plate installed?
Yes — our plates include oil-drain access cutouts so you can do routine oil changes without removing the skid plate.
Will it affect engine or transmission cooling?
No — the plates are designed to preserve factory airflow to coolers and components.
Will it reduce my ground clearance?
Minimal — plates contour to the frame and tuck up against the underbody so they slide over obstacles rather than hang low.
Will it rust or corrode?
No — aluminum doesn't rust, and the black powder coat adds further corrosion resistance.
Does adding a skid plate void my vehicle warranty?
No — under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a bolt-on aftermarket part can't void your factory warranty on its own.
What warranty do Juggernaut skid plates include?
A lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
Where are they made and how fast do they ship?
Made in the USA in Wheat Ridge, Colorado and shipped nationwide next business day. Use the year/make/model selector on any product page to confirm fit.
