Custom-contoured transmission skid plate specifically designed to protect the Powerboost’s complex hybrid drivetrain and sensitive electrical components.
Direct installation using factory mounting points. Unlike previous generations, this kit allows you to retain the active air dam for maximum aerodynamic efficiency.
Available in heavy-duty 10-gauge steel or lightweight 1/4-inch aluminum, providing superior impact resistance without the bulk of generic plates.
Engineered with precision-cut oil drain access ports, allowing for fast engine service without the hassle of removing the skid plate sections.
Hybrid-Specific Armor. American Made. Maximum Underbody Defense.
The World's Toughest Powerboost ProtectionThe RCI Offroad Full Skid Plate Package for the 2021-2025 Ford F-150 Powerboost is engineered specifically for the unique architecture of the hybrid drivetrain. While the Powerboost offers incredible torque and efficiency, it also carries complex and expensive components that are left dangerously exposed by factory plastic splash guards.
Engineered and manufactured in Colorado, USA, this package provides a seamless shield from the front bumper back to the transfer case. Whether you’re overlanding, hunting, or using your truck on the job site, this armor ensures your hybrid vitals stay protected from jagged rocks, stumps, and road debris.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: The Powerboost features a complex hybrid transmission and low-hanging electrical components that are incredibly expensive to repair. OEM "protection" is often just flimsy felt or thin plastic.
The RCI Solution: A hybrid-specific transmission skid combined with full engine and T-case coverage. Our 100% bolt-on design requires no drilling and allows you to keep your factory air dam intact.
Key Features: RCI Powerboost Armor
Includes a transmission skid plate specifically contoured for the Powerboost hybrid drivetrain to ensure perfect clearance and airflow.
Protects the expensive EPAS power steering, front diff, engine intercooler, transmission, exhaust, oil pan, and transfer case.
Uses 100% factory attachment points. Installs in minutes with basic hand tools, preserving your truck's resale value.
Unlike older models, the 2021-2025 RCI kit is designed to work perfectly without removing the front air dam, maintaining OEM aerodynamics.
Precision-cut oil drain holes allow for fast maintenance without removing the plates. (Fumoto/Ronin valves recommended).
The flat profile allows the truck to slide over obstacles, preventing "hang-ups" on cross-members or mechanical parts.
All kits include heavy-duty mounting hardware and detailed instructions for a seamless DIY installation.
Proudly CNC laser-cut and precision-bent in RCI’s Colorado facility. Premium fit and finish guaranteed.
Material Choice: 10ga Steel vs. 1/4" Aluminum10ga Steel: The best value for all-purpose protection. Rugged, durable, and finished in a rust-resistant black powder coat. Weighs 88lbs.
1/4" Aluminum: The premium choice. Substantially stronger than factory plates, zero rust potential, and significantly lighter. Weighs only 58lbs.
"Finding a full set specifically for the hybrid was tough until I found RCI. The transmission skid fits the hybrid drivetrain perfectly without any rattling. I went with the aluminum to save weight. The oil drain holes are a huge plus—I can do all my own service without dropping the plates."
- Brian M., 2023 F-150 Powerboost Owner Compatibility & Maintenance NoteNot Compatible: This kit is NOT compatible with suspension lift kits 4" and larger that use a differential drop. Service Tip: For the cleanest oil changes, we highly recommend a Fumoto or Ronin drain valve along with your RCI skid plates.

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.

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
