RIVAL 4x4 2333.1884.1.6 – 6 mm Aluminium Radiator Skid Plate
RIVAL 4x4 2333.1884.1.6 is a front underbody protection plate designed to shield the radiator area and vulnerable components from rocks, branches, ruts and other obstacles encountered away from paved roads.
Key benefits
- 6 mm aluminium construction provides robust protection while keeping unnecessary weight down.
- Deep-stamped profile and reinforcing ribs increase structural rigidity.
- No drilling required – the plate uses existing factory mounting points.
- Powder-coated silver finish adds surface protection and a clean appearance.
- Drainage and ventilation apertures help water and dirt escape while allowing airflow through the plate.
What does it protect?
This is a Radiator Skid Plate mounted at the front of the vehicle's underbody. It creates a physical barrier between vulnerable components and obstacles such as loose rocks, branches and the edges of deep ruts. RIVAL describes skid plates as supplementary protection, so the plate should not be treated as a guarantee against every possible impact.
Vehicle compatibility
The latest RIVAL installation manual for part number 2333.1884.1.6 lists the following applications:
- Ford Ranger 2.0D / 3.0D, automatic transmission, 4WD, 2022 onwards – Double Cab,
- Ford Ranger Plug-In Hybrid 2.3, automatic transmission, 4WD, 2025 onwards – Double Cab,
- Ford Everest 2.0D, automatic transmission, 4WD, 2022 onwards,
- Volkswagen Amarok 2.0D / 3.0D, automatic transmission, 4WD, 2023 onwards – Double Cab.
Check the engine, drivetrain and vehicle specification before ordering. Compatibility with European-spec Ford Ranger Raptor models should be confirmed separately.
Built for underbody protection
The aluminium plate is laser cut and deep stamped, with shaped ribs adding stiffness to the structure. Concealed mounting points reduce direct exposure of the fasteners to obstacles, while integrated openings allow water and dirt to drain away.

Frequently asked questions
Does installation require drilling?
No. The plate is designed around existing factory mounting points.
Is this the steel version?
No. Part number 2333.1884.1.6 is the 6 mm aluminium version and should not be confused with steel part number 2111.1884.1.3.
Does it fit a European Ranger Raptor?
The current European installation manual does not clearly confirm the petrol Ranger Raptor application, so the exact vehicle specification should be checked before ordering.
Is this a complete underbody protection kit?
No. This product contains one radiator skid plate. Engine, transmission, transfer-case, fuel-tank and control-arm protection plates are separate components.
