Comprehensive shielding for the EPAS unit, intercooler, oil pan, transmission, and transfer case against extreme off-road terrain.
100% bolt-on engineering using existing factory attachment points. Retain your active air dam on 2021-2025 models for maximum MPG.
Features precision-cut drain ports, allowing you to perform routine engine maintenance without removing the heavy skid plate sections.
CNC laser-cut in the USA from your choice of heavy-duty 10-gauge steel or lightweight 1/4" rust-proof aluminum.
Bumper-to-Transfer Case Armor. American Manufactured. 100% Bolt-On Security.
The Definitive Underbody Shield for Your F-150The RCI Offroad Full Skid Plate Package is the most comprehensive protection available for your 2015-2025 Ford F-150. Whether you are navigating technical trails in a Raptor, working on a job site, or overlanding in an EcoBoost, your truck’s vitals are dangerously exposed. Factory plastic "guards" offer zero protection against jagged rocks, stumps, or road debris that can cause catastrophic damage.
Precision-engineered in Colorado, USA, this package replaces weak OEM components with a continuous shield of high-strength armor. It protects everything from the front differential and low-hanging intercoolers to the sensitive EPAS power steering unit and transfer case.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: Modern F-150s contain expensive electronics (EPAS) and cooling components (EcoBoost intercoolers) that sit low and vulnerable. Replacing a cracked transmission case or intercooler can cost thousands.
The RCI Solution: A modular, 3-piece system available in 10-Gauge Steel or 1/4" Aluminum that creates a smooth surface to slide over obstacles while providing a 100% bolt-on fit.
Key Features: RCI Drivetrain Armor
Shields the EPAS power steering, front diff, intercooler, engine, transmission, exhaust cross-pipe, and transfer case.
Built-in oil drain holes allow you to perform routine maintenance without removing the heavy skid plate subsections.
Installs using 100% existing factory mounting points. No permanent modifications to your F-150’s frame are necessary.
Compatible with all 4x4 F-150 models, including 2.7L/3.5L EcoBoost intercooler configurations and Gen 2/3 Raptors.
The 3-piece kit is fully modular. Subsections can be independently removed for drivetrain access or deep cleaning.
A flat, smooth profile allows the truck to slide over obstacles, preventing the frame from catching on rocks or logs.
Steel versions feature a rust-resistant black powder coat. Aluminum versions are naturally rust-proof—ideal for salt-belt states.
Proudly CNC laser-cut and precision-bent in RCI's Colorado facility for a perfect, repeatably accurate fit.
Premium Materials for Ultimate Strength10-Gauge Steel (88 lbs): The best value for heavy impact protection. Ideal for those who frequent rocky terrain and want the toughest guard available at a great price point.
1/4" 5052 Aluminum (58 lbs): Substantially stronger than factory plates and rust-proof. The premium choice for overlanders seeking the best strength-to-weight ratio.

"Total game changer for my 2022 EcoBoost. The intercooler hangs so low on these trucks, and RCI completely shielded it. The aluminum kit is super light but incredibly rigid. I just finished a trip through the Ozarks and the skid plates took several hits that would have definitely cracked my trans case. Install was exactly as described—no drilling!"
- Mark D., F-150 Overlander Lift Kit & Maintenance NoteCompatibility: Not compatible with 4"+ suspension lift kits that use dropped cross-members. Maintenance Tip: For the cleanest oil changes, we highly recommend installing a Fumoto or Ronin drain valve along with the transmission skid plate.
*Repair costs are dealership estimates for parts and labor. Off-road impact damage is rarely covered by warranty.

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
We get it. You've got a lot of choice when it comes to online retailers.
Here's why we think you should shop with us at ExtrailAuto.
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
