Your pickup earns its keep on rough site entrances, farm tracks and weekends away. This front skid plate adds duralumin protection beneath the radiators, steering, engine and differential, with a 6 mm or 8 mm choice for the use you have in mind. It fits the RT50 and RT85 D-Max applications below and the Chevrolet Rodeo/LUV 4x4 2.5D.
Choose SportDuty 6 mm for a lighter plate suited to leisure and lighter off-road use, or HeavyDuty 8 mm for heavier vehicles and longer trips over rough ground.
| Option | SKU | Thickness | Weight | Application detail |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HeavyDuty 8mm | PDIMA8 | 8 mm | 14.1 kg | Matches the application below |
| SportDuty 6mm | PDIMA6 | 6 mm | 10.5 kg | Matches the application below |
Made from certified AW5083 H111 duralumin, the plate combines high strength with less weight than steel of the same size and thickness. It's a useful balance on a pickup that already carries tools, passengers or camping gear. You can add serious protection underneath without adding unnecessary weight to every journey.
The duralumin plate won't rust, including where the surface gets scraped. Its natural oxide layer helps it resist corrosion, so you aren't left worrying about red rust on the plate after every trip. That matters for something working out of sight underneath your truck all year.
We'd choose 6 mm SportDuty for recreational off-roading and overlanding where keeping added weight down matters. For heavier vehicles and demanding long-distance trips, we'd recommend 8 mm HeavyDuty. The option table shows the weight of each version.
Almont has made underbody protection since 1992, drawing on advice from vehicle preparers involved in the Dakar Rally and other rally-raid competition. You are paying for that specialist background as well as the certified alloy and the fit for your truck. It's the kind of protection we'd choose for a pickup we work hard and enjoy using off road.
The plate bolts into your vehicle's original holes and threads using the supplied steel supports and fixings, with no need to drill new mounting holes. The certificate/instruction manual is included to guide the installation. Raised suspension is compatible when the original mounting points remain in place.
The plate needs the original chassis, frame, axle and suspension-stay anchors, transmission mounts and stabiliser-bar supports. Body lifts and diff-drop kits change that relationship and are incompatible.

Yes. The application includes the RT50 4x4 2.5D from 2012-2016 and RT85 4x4 from 2016-2020, alongside the Chevrolet Rodeo/LUV 4x4 2.5D.
For recreational off-roading and overlanding, we'd choose the lighter 6 mm SportDuty plate. We'd recommend 8 mm HeavyDuty for heavier vehicles and demanding long-distance trips. Both use the same certified alloy; the option table gives the weight for your exact version.
Your skid plate comes with matching steel mounting supports, pre-installed fixings, a certificate and instruction manual, and an Almont sticker.
Give the plate a pressure wash once a year, or two or three times a year if you use it in muddy or salty conditions. Check the fixings for tightness annually as well. Follow the supplied instructions when refitting it after maintenance.
Almont's three-year warranty covers cracking of the protection itself. Dents, deformation and damage to the vehicle are excluded.
