Frequently asked questions

Steel or aluminum skid plate — which is better?

Steel is tougher and cheaper but heavier; aluminum is lighter and rust-resistant but costs more. The right pick depends on your terrain and priorities.

Will a skid plate hurt my fuel economy?

The added weight is usually small, especially with aluminum, so any effect on fuel economy is minimal for most drivers.
