RIVAL 23333.1888.2.6 – five-section 6 mm aluminium underbody protection
RIVAL 23333.1888.2.6 is a comprehensive underbody skid plate set for compatible Ford Ranger 2022– and Volkswagen Amarok 2023– models. It protects five important areas underneath the vehicle: the radiator, engine, gearbox, transfer case and fuel tank.
Key benefits
- Five main skid plates covering major underbody components.
- 6 mm aluminium used for the exact 23333.1888.2.6 version.
- Reinforced formed construction with stiffening ribs.
- OE mounting points with no drilling or vehicle modification specified by RIVAL.
- Drainage and ventilation openings designed to help remove water and dirt while maintaining airflow.
What does the set protect?
The kit includes protection for the radiator, engine, gearbox, transfer case and fuel tank, extending protection along a substantial section of the vehicle underbody rather than concentrating only on the engine area.
Construction
The exact kit uses 6 mm aluminium with a reinforced, deep-formed design and a polymer powder-coated finish. RIVAL also states that correctly installed skid plates do not reduce vehicle ground clearance.

Does the kit reduce ground clearance?
RIVAL states that the skid plate design does not reduce ground clearance when correctly installed.
Is this complete kit confirmed for the Ranger Raptor?
Do not assume so from individual plate applications. The exact 23333.1888.2.6 complete-kit page should be the basis for fitment, and Raptor compatibility should be checked separately.
