Precision CNC cut from thick 10-gauge steel, providing superior impact resistance and structural defense compared to fragile OEM covers.
Engineered for a perfect fit using existing factory mounting points. Enjoy a hassle-free installation in minutes without any drilling required.
Features a built-in access port for the engine oil drain plug, allowing for quick and clean oil changes without removing the skid plate.
A comprehensive one-piece design that shields both your engine oil pan and transmission case from costly off-road or job-site damage.
Heavy-Duty 10G Steel. 100% Bolt-On Protection. Made in the USA.
The Ultimate Underbody Defense for Your Super DutyYour 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.
Key Features: RCI Heavy-Duty Armor
Uses factory attachment points. No drilling or permanent vehicle modifications are required for installation.
Significantly tougher than OEM covers, providing superior impact resistance for off-road and work environments.
Built-in easy access to the engine oil drain plug ensures maintenance stays simple and mess-free.
Standard heavy-duty black powder coat provides a rust-resistant, high-quality look for years to come.
A single-piece design that protects both the engine oil pan and the transmission oil pan simultaneously.
CNC laser cut and bent for a perfect fit specifically tailored to the 2020+ Super Duty chassis.
The flat surface prevents "hooking" on obstacles, allowing your truck to slide over hazards easily.
Proudly made in the USA, ensuring high quality control and supporting American jobs.
Tested for the Toughest TerrainWe 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.
57 lbs Rugged Weight 10 Gauge Steel Thickness 1-Piece Simple Design Black Powder Coat
"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."

2020+ F-250 / F-350 / F-450 (4WD) Engine: 6.7L Powerstroke DieselImportant Notes:
CA Residents: ⚠️ WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
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.
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).
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.
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.
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 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

The wait time was more than I anticipated even after seeing the notification of long lead times. I have to give them props for giving some compensation for the excessive wait time. Having slightly larger holes would help with fitment. Had a hard time getting the front drivers side away from the pinch weld. Eventually had to use washers to add space away from the truck. Need to update pictures and instalation video for the new sliders they are now making
All packing and shipment were great, everything was there. I had to contract out the install because of arthritis, it took them two hours and looks perfect. Zero wind noise at any speed 0 to 100.
Absolutely love my new rack and roam cases. Appreciate the Sherpa crew as well for their hospitality while the installation was taking place.
Fit and finish is excellent. Looks great on the Bronco. No whistling noise at all, some additional wind noise over 60mph but not much different than it was without the rack. Assembly was not too difficult. Instructions and videos could be a little better.
The quality and dedication of the team at Sherpa is evident from the very first interaction with them, and is further proven in the product itself. This rack is well engineered, easy to assemble, easy to adjust, and holds up incredibly well with no loosening or rattling or shifting (even after over 200 miles of driving on poorly maintained roads). Currently operating with approximately 180 pounds of gear mounted on the bed rack and no issues at all so far. I expected the vibration to work the bolts loose over time, but every time I check they're all still snug. My only regret is that I didn't pull the trigger and get this rack sooner.
First of all, the team at Sherpa is full of passion for adventure and that passion shows in the quality of their products. This roof rack looks incredible and surprised me with it's sturdiness. No loosening of hardware, even after weeks of driving. Currently holding approximately 80 pounds of gear for everyday driving, plus an additional 110 strapped on top during a camping trip (and I even stood on top of the entire loadout). No warping, bending, twisting, or slipping. The fact that this matches the bed rack perfectly in height is the icing on the cake. Easily serves as a tie off for a tarp, rain fly, hammock, or whatever you need. Perfect for modular campsite setup and quick teardown.
I bought the Sherpa Crestone rack for my 2024 4Runner TRD Pro. Incredibly well-made and excellent design. Spend the extra , to get best roof rack in the market. You won’t regret it.
This is our first roof rack that we are going to use to put a RRT (roof top tent) on for back country trips. Well-built product that came with all the nuts, bolts and washers to complete the installation. Took about 1-1/2 to 2 hours install the rack. You will another person to help place the racks on top of the Jeep for final install. Overall, a great, well-built American product
Install was super easy. The quality was great. Customer service was quick to respond to any issues! I’ve already been getting compliments on it and what brand it is. This will be great for camping this year!
This is on my tundra absolutely solid rack looks fantastic extremely modular, which is why I went this route. I can use the whole rack when traveling and over landing then rock the chase rack only when the rest is not in use, I actually use the recovery traction board mounts for my shower room set up, which works amazingly just relocated the board somewhere shown in picture keep innovating TUWAand I’ll keep purchasing.
Good looking cat shields made of stainless steel with cooling holes. Priced well, easy install, no issues. Would buy again.
Great service from their staff. Robert help me through all the process with a request I had, he responded all emails in a timely manner and provided great help.
We received it within 3 days and installed the same day. Great awning and very well made.
the tent is very nice, comfortable and roomy.
Following the instructions was fairly easy. Its better to have second person to set it up. I really like the tent and the support that from ExtrailAuto. Really recommeded! Thanks

I'm happy with my new racks, it's perfect for that I want.
We are very happy the rack fits the painted roof of our ‘25 Bronco Heritage. Leitner right now might be the only company that makes a rack that fits the painted roof. Typical great Leitner attention to detail

I installed this on my M1102A trailer for organizing my camping gear and mounting my RTT and awning. It was a really easy install and was rock solid containing my gear down rugged dirt roads and washes last week. The sliding rear load bar was great for loading the motorcycles.

I’ve had the full-length rack on my Grenadier for about a year, and it has performed flawlessly. Not only is the design simple and aesthetically pleasing, it is highly practical for carrying any load. I consistently have over 400 lbs mounted on my rack at all times, and even through multiple trips through the washboards of Death Valley at 45 mph, the rack has remained steady and strong, with not one fastener coming loose. I’d buy this rack ten times before I’d consider another brand.
Limited space in bed. Now all my gear sits in the rack above. Made all the difference in what I can fit in this truck!!
needed something low profile but strong. This platform hit it out of the park. Put it on my ARE topper and couldn’t be happier! Assembly instructions could be clearer in showing top versus bottom, but got it together easy enough. Need to show the need for squaring up before mounting. Overall break pleased
