Description

RCI Offroad Engine/Transmission Skid Plate | 2020+ Ford F-250/F-350/F-450

Heavy-Duty 10G Steel. 100% Bolt-On Protection. Made in the USA.

The Ultimate Underbody Defense for Your Super Duty

Your Ford Super Duty is built for the toughest jobs, but its most expensive components are surprisingly vulnerable. The RCI Offroad Engine/Transmission Skid Plate provides a seamless shield for your 2020+ F-250, F-350, or F-450 with the 6.7L Powerstroke engine.

Engineered and manufactured in the USA, this skid plate is designed for those who refuse to let a hidden rock or a deep job-site pothole end their day. Whether you're overlanding, hitting the trails, or using your truck for heavy-duty work, RCI offers the "best value for your money" protection.

The Problem & The Solution:

The Pain: Modern trucks often come with flimsy plastic splash guards or nothing at all, leaving your oil pan and transmission exposed to catastrophic damage.
The RCI Solution: We use 10 Gauge Steel and a 1-piece design to create a smooth, flat surface that slides over obstacles while protecting your vital drivetrain.

Precision Engineering

CNC laser cut and bent for a perfect fit specifically tailored to the 2020+ Super Duty chassis.

Smooth Underside

The flat surface prevents "hooking" on obstacles, allowing your truck to slide over hazards easily.

USA Manufactured

Proudly made in the USA, ensuring high quality control and supporting American jobs.

Tested for the Toughest Terrain

We don't just build these for looks. RCI Skid Plates are tested in real-world off-road conditions to ensure they handle the weight of an F-250/350. By bridging the gap between the frame rails, they provide structural integrity and peace of mind.

Customer Review ★★★★★

"The peace of mind this skid plate gives me is worth every penny. I hit a massive chunk of ice on the highway last winter that surely would have cracked the transmission pan. The RCI skid took it like a champ with just a scratch in the powder coat. Installation was simple enough to do in my driveway in about 20 minutes."

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Do I need to remove the skid plate for oil changes?

No. RCI designs these plates with maintenance in mind. There is a precision-cut access hole specifically for the engine oil drain plug, allowing you to service your truck without removing the armor.

+ Will this fit my 7.3L Godzilla gas engine?

No, this specific model is confirmed only for the 6.7L Powerstroke Diesel. The mounting points and clearances differ on the gas engine models (6.2L, 6.8L, and 7.3L).

+ How difficult is the installation?

Installation is very straightforward. It is a 100% bolt-on process using basic hand tools. Since the plate weighs 57 lbs, we recommend having a second person or a floor jack to help hold it in place while you start the bolts.

+ Is the powder coat durable against road salt?

Yes, the heavy-duty black powder coat is designed to withstand harsh environments. However, like any steel component, if the coating is deeply scratched or gouged by rocks, we recommend a quick touch-up with paint to prevent surface rust.

+ Will this affect my ground clearance?

RCI skid plates are designed to be low-profile. They tuck up close to the components they protect, so you lose very little actual ground clearance while gaining a smooth surface that helps you slide over obstacles rather than getting hung up.

Prop 65

California Residents

Prop 65 Warning- Product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

Proposition 65 is a California law passed in 1986. Its goals are to protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that may cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those chemicals generally, for example in consumer products, by requiring warnings in advance of those exposures.

The regulation requires the State of California to revise and republish yearly a list of chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The current list contains over 900 naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals. This regulation also requires manufacturers to place warnings on products that contain any of the chemicals listed by the State of California. No other states require warnings of this nature, and products with Prop 65 warning language are legal to sell in all states. Detailed information regarding requirements for compliance to the California Prop. 65 is can be found at: www.P65Warning.ca.gov
