Seeking part # for FX4 skid plate

[Aj0400]

Hi!

I've been trying to find the part number for the FX4 skid plate. No luck at Ford or online. When you enter an FX4 VIN# into the dealer parts system it will not show the all metal FX4 skid plate. Fiber only. If anyone in here would be generous enough, could you please take a picture of the FX4 skid plate part # for me. Thanks!

You have a better chance finding the the Colonel's secret recipe.

Ford is not selling them yet. Not sure why...

This is what is listed on my FX4 build sheet.

The skid plate also bolts straight into the cross-member/subframe. There are no retaining nuts. Learned that the hard way when I got an oil change and striped/cross-threaded the bolt and had to tap it with new threads.

That looks like a HVBOM listing.

That’s fine. I can make it work if I can get my hands on the thing. If you get the chance it’d be VERY appreciated if you could send a picture of the part # on it. I work at a Ford dealership and even I can’t find it with an FX4 VIN number so if I have the part # I can just order it. Thanks!

If I can get a chance to take it off and see the stamp number I'll let you know. But cataloging seems to be broken on Mavericks. From Hvbom and my VIN my best guess is NZ6Z5D032B by price and the associated hardware under the COMP link.

We got a 2023 Maverick FX4 in. Skid plate part# was found to be; NZ61-5D032-BA. Ordered one through work and I'll see if its correct. If not I will share what process I'll have to go through to get one and mount it!

Any chance you'd be able to find out if the plastic piece that attaches to the plate and serves as a cooler for the AWD system is sold separately? I've destroyed mine...and I should probably replace it.

Thanks for the part numbers. I have to get some of the "nuts", part number W718770S439, because one was bent and would not hold the screw. I tried to bend it back and it broke instantly.

Ordering 2 sets and some extra screws, W702413S450B, just in case.

$33 total for 2 sets of 4 crappy "nuts" and an extra set of screws with the washers built in. I'm sure you can find M5x20mm (at least that's what FORD says they are) screws elsewhere and just add a washer, but whatever.

They should have built the damn threads into the skid plate where they meet with actual bolts and added a removable section for the filter location. My TRD one on the previous Tacoma I had was perfect and I never even had to remove it after initially installing it. One bolt for the filter section and one for the drain valve. Threads built into the plate itself, two bolts, remove two small areas, done. No way these "nuts" are going to last in MT winters if they don't even make it 13k. I guess my only hope is to coat them heavily in anti seize and stock up on backups for now.

Where there is a will there is a way but I haven't figured anything else out yet to replace them and still be able to remove just the rear part without straight up welding nuts in place - which I just might do lol.

The part numbers in this post are links directly to FORD parts to anyone who needs them. If you register, shipping is free or you can have them send to your local services dept. and just pick them up.

@bgn, did you ever find the plastic part you need? Here is a link to some of the diagrams on the entire setup but I didn't see that part specifically. I can dig further if you need, just on mobile currently in a hotel (Spokane) so it's a bit tasking and not as easy as searching on my PC. This post was kind of a PITA to pair links.

grr FORD. grr.

The part numbers in this post are links directly to FORD parts to anyone who needs them. You may be able to find the dual part skid plate on there if you have a standard FX4 skid plate. I only checked those two part numbers, but they did work fine. If you register, shipping is free or you can have them send to your local services dept. and just pick them up.

I have not found the part. Seems like it's not available.
