Rival 4x4 2333.9569.3.6 is a deep-stamped 1/4 in aluminum alloy transmission and catalytic converter skid plate for the 2024-2026 Toyota Tacoma built with the i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain, and Rival 4x4 lists the same plate for the 2024-2026 Land Cruiser and the 2025-2026 4Runner in hybrid form.

The hybrid gets its own part number for a reason. On an i-FORCE MAX Tacoma the electric motor lives inside the transmission housing, and the packaging around the transmission and the catalytic converter is not the same as it is on the plain i-FORCE truck - which is why Rival 4x4 also sells 2333.9567.4.6 for the non-hybrid. Order by powertrain, not by trim.

What sits under a stock fourth-gen Tacoma in this area is plastic, and Rival 4x4 makes the comparison itself: 1/4 in aluminum alloy against the 0.09 in steel plate on the Trailhunter or the stock plastic covers. The plate is deep stamped rather than folded, so the strength comes from formed geometry instead of added mass, and aluminum will not rust out from a rock scrape the way a chipped steel plate does.

Key Benefits

Deep-stamped 1/4 in aluminum alloy - Rival 4x4's press-formed geometry gives rigidity and impact resistance without the weight of a comparable steel plate.
Covers the transmission and the catalytic converter in one piece, the two most expensive things to hit on a hybrid Tacoma's belly.
Aluminum does not rust, so a scratch through the powder coat after a season of rock work is cosmetic rather than the start of corrosion.
Bolts to factory mounting points - Rival 4x4 states no drilling is required.
Oil changes can be done with the plate in place; Rival 4x4 recommends a quick-drain valve and funnel to keep it clean.
Matte metallic silver powder coat, so it reads as purpose-built armour rather than a raw plate.
Cut for the hybrid specifically rather than adapted from the i-FORCE plate, which is sold separately as 2333.9567.4.6.

Fitment

Rival 4x4 lists 2333.9569.3.6 for the 2024-2026 Toyota Tacoma, the 2024-2026 Toyota Land Cruiser and the 2025-2026 Toyota 4Runner with the i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain. It does not fit an i-FORCE non-hybrid truck - Rival 4x4 sells that as a separate part number, 2333.9567.4.6, and the two are not interchangeable. Rival 4x4 publishes no cab, bed, transmission or 2WD/4WD restriction for this plate. There is one Tacoma-specific step to check before you order: Rival 4x4 states that if your fourth-generation Tacoma is not equipped with a welded front factory crossmember, its Heavy-Duty Bolt-On Crossmember 2333.9571.2.6.RK should be added, and that starting in 2026 lower-trim models began coming with the factory crossmember - so Rival 4x4's own advice is to look under the truck first. Do not confuse this plate with Rival 4x4's other fourth-gen Tacoma armour: 2333.9571.3.6 is the engine skid, 2333.9583.1.6 is the gas tank skid and 2333.9573.1.6 is the lower controls skid. This is a mechanical protection part and carries no emissions implication.

FAQ

Does 2333.9569.3.6 fit a non-hybrid i-FORCE Tacoma?

No. Rival 4x4 lists this part number for the i-FORCE MAX hybrid and sells a separate transmission and catalytic converter skid, 2333.9567.4.6, for the 2024-2026 i-FORCE Tacoma and 2025-2026 i-FORCE 4Runner.

What does the Rival 4x4 2333.9569.3.6 actually cover?

It is a transmission and catalytic converter skid plate, covering that section of the underbody in one deep-stamped 1/4 in aluminum piece.

Do I need the Rival crossmember with this skid plate?

Rival 4x4 tells fourth-gen Tacoma owners that if the truck is not equipped with a welded front factory crossmember, its Heavy-Duty Bolt-On Crossmember 2333.9571.2.6.RK should be added, and that from 2026 lower trims began shipping with the factory crossmember - check under your own vehicle before ordering.

Can I change the oil without dropping the skid plate?

Yes. Rival 4x4 states the plate allows an oil change without removing it, and recommends using a quick-drain valve and a funnel to keep the job clean.
