Truck Has Active Air Dam (2021+ Trucks Do)
Not sure if your truck has an active air dam?

2021+ F-150 XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum trims have an active air dam — the small flap below the front bumper that lowers automatically at highway speeds to improve aerodynamics.

If you have a 2021 or newer F-150 in one of those trims, select "Has Active Air Dam." Base XL and STX trims, and all 2015–2020 trucks, do not have it.

Good news: the active air dam is removable. Taking it off lets our skid plate cover more of the underbody for maximum protection — a popular choice for off-road and overland builds.

Still unsure? Text us a photo of your front bumper at (970) 341-4221 and we'll confirm in minutes.

*See last picture for 2021+ Active Air Dam front skid. For 2021+ models you can choose to remove the factory active air dam and gain more protection or if you want to retain the factory active air dam select the option for compatible skid plate.

Protect your 2015-Current Ford F150 engine from road debris, trail obstacles and damage with our 1/4" aluminum skid plate.

Not only does this Ford F150 engine skid plate protect your oil pan but it also covers your intercooler, front differential and expensive electric assisted power steering rack.

Aluminum has a much better corrosion resistance than steel so no need to worry about rust! For additional protection, we powder coat these as well.

Our Ford F150 engine skid simply bolts on to existing mounts in the frame and doesn't require any complicated drilling or modifications.

This skid plate includes a hole to easily drain the oil during oil changes as well.

Manufactured and designed in the USA!

Easy install. I had access to a overhead lift so that helped a lot. The fit was perfect and the product is heavy duty. I would definitely recommend it.

Very good quality—it fit perfectly.

The plates fit very well and the front lip is tucked behind what's left of the upper valance (I had the lower part removed for more clearance). I had a professional shop that focuses on truck mods install the plates for me to insure accuracy. It was evidently a pretty quick job as they did not charge much for the work.

So far everything is good with the skid plates. They were easy to install my self.

This two-piece plate installed easily on the 2019 F150 Limited. I replaced all the clips with newly supplied hardware and bolts. I used front wheel ramps and removed the air dam for easier access. The slotted holes help with solo install and alignment. The thick aluminum plates look great and add protection to the intercooler, engine, and steering assembly.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Common questions about our skid plates and armor

Does it fit both 4x4 and 4x2 F-150s?

Yes — fits both 4x4 and 4x2.

Does the transmission skid / full package replace the factory felt cover?

Yes — it replaces the factory felt under-tray that's prone to sagging and failing with a real 1/4" aluminum skid plate.

Does it fit the PowerBoost hybrid?

Yes — the package includes an extension plate to reach the further-back crossmember on PowerBoost trucks.

What about the Active Air Dam on 2021+ trucks?

Two options: keep it by choosing the Active-Air-Dam-compatible engine skid, or remove the air dam for maximum coverage.

Does it fit the F-150 Tremor?

Yes.

Will it work on a lifted truck?

It's not compatible with trucks lifted 4" or more — those use crossmember drop brackets that interfere.

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.
