PACEWALKER Manganese Steel Splash Panel Shield for 2015–2020 Ford F150 — Direct-Fit No-Drill Replacement (excl. Raptor/3.0L)

PACEWALKER's manganese steel splash panel shield is a direct-fit under-engine shield for 2015–2020 Ford F150 (excludes Raptor and 3.0L diesel) that protects the engine bay from water, mud and road debris without drilling.

If you drive a 2015–2020 Ford F150 and want a rugged, OE-replacement splash panel that installs quickly and holds up to rough conditions, this PACEWALKER shield is built for that purpose. Fabricated from manganese steel, it replaces the ML3Z-7222-D part and is engineered for strength and deformation resistance while maintaining the exact mounting points of the original. The shield helps keep contaminants away from vulnerable engine components and is supplied with all hardware necessary for a no-drill installation.

How does this shield improve engine bay protection?

The manganese steel construction provides higher impact resistance than typical stamped steel or plastic splash panels, reducing the chance of bending or puncturing when struck by road debris. It creates a barrier that limits water and mud intrusion, which helps maintain cleaner components and can simplify routine inspections and service.

• Heavy-duty manganese steel resists dents and deformation
• Full coverage design shields intake and lower engine components
• Seals common entry paths for water, dirt and salt spray

Will this part fit my Ford F150 and replace the original part?

This panel is produced to match the Ford OE part ML3Z-7222-D and fits 2015–2020 F150 models that used that specific splash shield configuration. It is not compatible with Raptor trims or Ford 3.0L diesel engine variants, so confirm your model year and engine before ordering.

• Direct OE part number replacement: ML3Z-7222-D
• Compatible years: 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020
• Not compatible with Raptor or 3.0L diesel models

How difficult is installation and what hardware is included?

PACEWALKER supplies the necessary fasteners so installation requires no drilling or modification to the vehicle, following original mounting positions. Most installations are straightforward with basic hand tools and can be completed in a single session by a DIYer or professional technician.

• No-drill, bolt-on installation—uses existing mounting points
• Complete hardware kit included for a direct fit
• Compatible with factory mounting sequence for simple replacement

What makes manganese steel a better choice for a splash panel?

Manganese steel offers improved toughness and impact resistance compared with thinner stamped steels or plastic panels, which makes it less likely to deform under stress. That durability extends the usable life of the shield and preserves engine-bay protection over time, especially in rough-road or off-road driving conditions.

• High-impact tolerance reduces risk of punctures and bends
• Better long-term resistance to road debris and stone strikes
• Maintains shape and attachment integrity under stress

Who this is for: This PACEWALKER manganese steel splash panel is ideal for Ford F150 owners (2015–2020) who want a durable, OE-replacement under-engine shield that installs without modification. Choose this if you regularly drive on gravel, salted roads, or in muddy conditions and need a stronger-than-stock barrier to protect the lower engine and components. Confirm your vehicle’s model year and engine to ensure compatibility before purchase.
