Gearbox, Engine & Radiator Skid Plate for Ford F-150 (2021-) XIV generation (P702) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Enhance the durability of your Ford F-150 (2021-) XIV generation (P702) with the Kolchuga® skid plate, expertly crafted from robust 2 mm steel. This protective shield acts as a barrier against potential damage, safeguarding critical components such as the engine, oil pan, and transmission. With this skid plate, you equip your vehicle with a formidable line of defense against harsh road conditions.
The main Kolchuga® protection panel is made from high-quality steel with a thickness of 2 mm. Steel protection is available with two coating options, providing different levels of corrosion protection.
| Coating | Protection Technology | Purpose and Benefits | Corrosion Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|
| WhiteCover® | Hot-dip galvanizing (compliant with EN ISO 1461). | Reliable and long-lasting coating. Ideal for vehicles with very intensive use (e.g., commercial vehicles). | Up to 24 months |
| ZiPoFlex® | Premium combination: Hot-dip galvanizing + Polymer painting + Polymer lacquer. | The ultimate solution for any, even the most demanding operating conditions (corrosivity category C5). | Up to 36 months |
This skid plate covers vital areas including the gearbox, engine, and radiator. Its engineered construction features reinforcing ribs that enhance impact absorption, ensuring that the shield deforms in a controlled manner during an impact. Additionally, ventilation openings are strategically placed to maintain optimal cooling for the engine and transmission.
Designed to withstand the rigors of the road, this protection effectively guards against damage from rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps. By reducing the ingress of dirt and moisture, it also minimizes corrosion, thereby extending the life of your vehicle’s critical components. The installation process is straightforward, requiring no drilling as it mounts to factory points.
How does Kolchuga® protection differ from the factory one? The factory (stock) protection is typically a plastic dust cover (splash guard) or thin composite material. Its main function is protection from dirt and dust. In contrast, Kolchuga® protection is a durable metal plate (steel or aluminum) that serves as a mechanical shield. It provides reliable protection from impacts against rocks, branches, or open manholes. The key difference: Factory protection guards against dirt, while Kolchuga® guards against impact.
