Maverick Division Engine & Transmission Skid Plate for 2022+ Ford Maverick EcoBoost – Bolt-On Underbody Protection
SKU: mav.engskid.alum.eco
Overview
The Maverick Division Aluminum Front Engine Skid Plate is purpose-built underbody armor for the 2022+ Ford Maverick EcoBoost, engineered to replace the Maverick's notoriously inadequate factory plastic belly pan with a serious, trail-ready shield. Precision CNC bent from 5052 1/4-inch aluminum alloy, this skid plate protects your oil pan, transmission and critical engine components from rocks, logs, road debris, and rough terrain — without the rust risk or excessive weight of a steel alternative. Whether you're hitting dirt trails, a daily driver navigating pothole-riddled city streets, or an overlander pushing into the backcountry, this is the best front skid plate upgrade for the Ford Maverick EcoBoost 2.0L.
Key Features & Benefits
- 1/4" CNC Bent 5052 Aluminum Construction
- ~30% Lighter Than Comparable Steel Skid Plates – At approximately 20 lbs, this aluminum plate preserves fuel efficiency and front-end handling dynamics while providing maximum underbody protection.
- True No-Drill, Bolt-On Installation – Directly utilizes all existing factory mounting points. No drilling, cutting, or modifications required — preserves your Maverick's factory warranty.
- Integrated Oil Change Access Ports – Engineered with apertures for oil filter access and oil drain, so you never have to remove the skid plate for routine maintenance.
- Multi-Stage Powder Coat Finish – Durable powder coat provides long-lasting protection against corrosion, road salt, and oxidation. Aluminum's inherent corrosion resistance means no rust even if the coating is scratched or gouged on the trail.
- OEM-Integrated Aesthetic – Clean, factory-style fit that looks at home on both stock and modified Mavericks.
What's Included
- 1x 1/4" CNC Bent 5052 Aluminum Engine Skid Plate
- Complete Hardware Kit (bolts, inserts, and fasteners)

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this skid plate a direct replacement for the factory underbody shield?
A: Yes. It replaces the thin factory plastic/felt belly pan using the same OEM mounting locations with no modifications needed.
Q: Can I change my oil without removing the skid plate?
A: Yes. The plate features integrated oil drain and oil filter access ports, making routine oil changes straightforward without dropping the entire plate.
Q: Will aluminum rust or corrode over time?
A: No. Aluminum is inherently corrosion-resistant, so even if the powder-coated finish is scratched or gouged on the trail, the underlying material will not rust.
