It appears there are a lot of changes to 2025 models. Before I order one, has anyone actually installed a Rival skid plate on a 2025 model? Their site says it will fit; I just want to confirm and also see if there were any model year related issues with the install. Thanks

We have installed several on 25 models. Currently the only issues we have seen are on the Hybrid AWD models which we are working on a revision for.

Thanks for the inquiry,

This is very unfortunate news, as I have one one backorder (already paid for). Your website says it fits all mavericks except for the Tremor. I have a 2025 hybrid AWD. Do I need to cancel my order ?

It’s only the cat converter skid which is labeled as 2wd only. Sorry for the confusion.

I am a bit confused. On your website, you show a cat skid plate and an engine skid plate. The engine skid plate will NOT fit a '25 hybrid AWD or it will? Which skid plate is the one that needs the redesign to accommodate the '25 hybrid AWD?

Engine skid plate works across the hybrid lineup, cat skid plate is in development for the Hybrid/AWD.

So we have one ordered. Currently on backorder.

Will we be receiving the updated skid plate for pir 2025 Maverick Hybrid AWD?

Dont want one that has issues.

Your update said July 20th they should arrive to you for shipping.

Is this the revised one?

The engine skid plate will not be changed, only the cat converter skid plate that had to be developed to fit the new AWD/Hybrid variant(which isn't on our website yet).

Our website is fairly accurate when it comes to delivery times. If we anticipate any sort of unexpected delay it get's updated within a day or two.
