RIVAL 2333.1888.1.6 – 6 mm aluminium fuel tank skid plate
RIVAL 2333.1888.1.6 is a vehicle-specific fuel tank skid plate for selected Ford Ranger 2022+ and Volkswagen Amarok 2023+ models. Its 6 mm aluminium construction adds a mechanical barrier between the fuel tank and rocks, ruts, branches and other obstacles encountered away from paved roads.
Key benefits
- 6 mm aluminium construction designed to protect the fuel tank area during off-road use.
- No-drill installation using the vehicle's existing factory mounting points.
- Dedicated mounting hardware including front and rear brackets.
- Reinforced profile with formed sections designed to increase plate rigidity.
- Corrosion-resistant finish based on RIVAL's polymer powder-coating specification for its skid plates.
Vehicle compatibility
| Vehicle | Application in the latest RIVAL manual |
|---|
| Ford Ranger | 2022+, 2.3 L, 2.7 L, 2.0D Bi-Turbo, 3.0D; Double Cab specified |
| Volkswagen Amarok | 2023+, 2.0D, 3.0D |
Always verify the vehicle's engine and body configuration against the current installation manual before ordering. Model year alone should not be treated as sufficient confirmation of fitment.
Construction and protection
The plate protects the underside of the fuel tank area from direct contact with trail obstacles. RIVAL uses a formed construction with reinforcing ribs and protected mounting locations to improve rigidity and reduce the exposure of fastening points.
Installation
The skid plate mounts to existing vehicle points without drilling. RIVAL estimates installation time at approximately 1 hour and specifies a tightening torque of 47 Nm for the M10 fasteners. All fittings and structural components should be checked after installation.
