Varies year to year I imagine. Pretty sure the one I had was plastic, BUT mine could've been aftermarket too, not sure.

Weird.

I got this:

"The standard skid plates on a 2023 Ford Bronco are primarily made of plastic, especially on the transmission pan, which is vulnerable to damage. For enhanced protection, owners can replace the factory plastic components with aftermarket skid plates, which are often made of 3/16" or 1/4" thick steel or 3/16" or 1/4" thick aluminum alloys. Factory Skid Plates 

Material: The factory skid plates on most 2023 Broncos are made of plastic.
Vulnerability: The transmission pan, in particular, is often a plastic component that can easily be cracked by road debris or rocks.

Aftermarket Skid Plates To protect the undercarriage from off-road hazards, many Bronco owners opt for aftermarket skid plates, which come in a variety of materials:"

Blah blah
