Description

RCI Offroad Skid Plate Package | 2024-Present Ford Ranger

Ultimate Underbody Protection. American-Made. No-Drill Installation.

The Ultimate Defense for Your Ranger

Provide the maximum protection for your 2024-Present Ford Ranger with a comprehensive skid plate package by RCI Metalworks. Whether you are navigating hardcore rock gardens or heading out for a weekend camping trip, RCI skids are the ultimate defense against all on and off-road hazards.

Engineered and manufactured in the USA, this package is designed to "Protect Your Investment" by shielding the most vulnerable components of your truck. We’ve solved the problem of flimsy factory protection with precision-engineered armor that fits like a glove.

The Problem & The Solution:

The Pain: Factory "protection" is often just plastic splash guards or thin stamped metal. One misplaced rock can lead to a punctured oil pan or a cracked transmission case, leaving you stranded with thousands in repair bills.
The RCI Solution: A complete, 100% Bolt-On system that covers everything from your front differential to your transfer case, featuring built-in service ports so you don't have to remove the armor for oil changes.

Key Features: RCI Full Armor Package

Full Component Coverage

Protects the EPAS power steering, front differential, engine oil pan, intercooler, transmission, and transfer case.

No-Drill Installation

Direct bolt-on addition to existing factory attachment points. No drilling or permanent vehicle modification required.

Service Accessibility

Features a built-in oil pan drain plug access port, allowing you to perform routine maintenance without removing the skid plates.

High Clearance Design

The low-profile design hugs the truck chassis tightly, ensuring you don't sacrifice valuable ground clearance for protection.

Obstacle Deflection

Smooth, flat surfaces allow your Ranger to slide over obstacles easily rather than getting hung up on cross-members.

American-Made Quality

Precision engineered and manufactured in the USA using premium 3/16" steel or 1/4" 5052 aluminum alloy.

Steel vs. Aluminum: Choose Your Armor

RCI Offroad offers two premium material options to suit your specific Ranger build. Both options provide significantly more coverage than OEM plates.

3/16″ Steel: The heavy-duty choice. Best for hardcore rock crawling and maximum impact resistance. Features a durable black powdercoat finish. (Weight: ~124-126 lbs).

1/4” Aluminum: The premium choice for overlanders. Offers 2/3 the strength of steel at exactly 50% of the weight. Naturally corrosion-resistant—perfect for salty coastal air or winter roads. (Weight: ~60-61 lbs).

3/16" Steel Thickness 1/4" Aluminum Thickness 100% Bolt-On USA Manufactured

Real Owner Feedback ★★★★★

"After seeing how thin the factory 'armor' was on my 2024 Ranger, I upgraded to the RCI steel package immediately. The fitment is incredible—it really does hug the frame. I hit a hidden stump on my last trip that definitely would have cracked my transmission case. Instead, I just have a small scratch on the powdercoat. Best insurance you can buy for your truck."

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Is drilling required for installation?

No. This package is 100% bolt-on. It utilizes existing factory mounting points on your Ranger's frame, making installation straightforward and reversible.

+ Should I choose Steel or Aluminum?

Choose Steel if you do heavy rock crawling and want the toughest possible armor. Choose Aluminum if you want excellent protection with half the weight, or if you live in a corrosive environment (salt) where rust-resistance is a priority.

+ Do I have to remove the skid plates to change my oil?

No. The RCI Engine Skid Plate includes a strategically placed access port that allows you to reach the oil drain plug without removing the plate.

+ Is this compatible with the Ranger Raptor?

Yes, this skid plate package is compatible with 4x4 and Raptor model 2024+ generations.

+ Will it fit with my lift kit?

It is compatible with most leveling kits and suspension lifts. However, it may not be compatible with "bracket style" lift kits (4" or larger) that drop the front differential. If your lift kit includes a new front cross-member, please verify fitment with us.

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
