Description

RCI Offroad Skid Plate Package | 2024-Present Tacoma

Maximum Undercarriage Protection. No-Drill Installation. Made in the USA.

The Ultimate Defense for Your 4th Gen Tacoma

Your 2024+ Toyota Tacoma is an investment designed for adventure, but the factory underbody protection is often the weak link. The RCI Offroad Skid Plate Package provides a complete armor suite, shielding your engine, transmission, and transfer case from the harshest trail obstacles.

Custom-fit specifically for the 4th Generation Tacoma, these plates are laser-cut from your choice of 3/16" Steel for maximum impact resistance or 1/4" Aluminum for lightweight durability. This is not just a cosmetic upgrade—it is professional-grade recovery insurance.

The Problem & The Solution:

The Pain: OEM skid plates are often thin "splash guards" that buckle under the weight of the truck, leading to cracked oil pans or smashed transmission housings.
The RCI Solution: A heavy-duty, 3-piece system that creates a smooth, flat surface to slide over rocks while protecting the most vulnerable mechanical components of your drivetrain.

Key Features: RCI Full Armor Package

Total Coverage

Includes three distinct plates covering the engine, oil pan, front differential, transmission, and the transfer case.

No-Drill Installation

Direct bolt-on design utilizes existing factory attachment points. No permanent vehicle modifications are required.

Built-in Oil Drain

Maintenance is a breeze. The integrated oil drain hole allows you to change your oil without ever removing the skid plate.

Bolt Protector Rings

Recessed bolt heads are protected by steel rings, preventing physical damage and ensuring you can always unscrew them later.

Maximum Rigidity

Reinforced edges between cross-members provide incredible strength, preventing the plates from bending under load.

Premium Finish

Steel plates come standard with a heavy-duty black powder coat to resist rust and corrosion in harsh environments.

Smooth Obstacle Slide

The flat, continuous surface design prevents your truck from getting "hung up" on rocks or debris.

American Engineering

Designed and manufactured with precision in the USA, ensuring perfect fitment for the Gen 4 Tacoma platform.

Heavy-Duty Construction Options

Choose your level of protection based on your driving style. The 3/16" Steel option is the go-to for rock crawling and technical trails, while the 1/4" Aluminum option offers superior rust resistance and weight savings for overlanders.

Real Owner Feedback ★★★★★

"The fit and finish on these RCI plates for the 2024 Tacoma are second to none. I went with the aluminum to keep weight down, and they've already taken a few hard hits on the differential and oil pan without flinching. The oil drain hole is a lifesaver during service—no more wrestling with heavy plates every 5k miles."

- Mark S., Verified Tacoma Owner

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Does this fit the i-FORCE MAX Hybrid Tacoma?

The Transmission and Transfer-case skid plates in this package are currently not compatible with hybrid models due to differences in the drivetrain and battery components. RCI is continually developing new products, so check back for hybrid-specific fitments.

+ Should I choose Steel or Aluminum?

If you frequently visit rock-crawling trails or expect heavy impacts, 3/16" Steel is recommended for its ultimate strength. For general off-roading, overlanding, and salt-heavy environments, 1/4" Aluminum is ideal because it is nearly 50% lighter and naturally rust-resistant.

+ Is drilling required for installation?

No drilling is required. This package is a direct bolt-on system that uses the factory mounting points already present on your Tacoma's frame.

+ Can I still perform oil changes easily?

Yes. The engine skid plate features a precision-cut oil drain hole, allowing you to drain the oil without removing the plate. Access to the oil filter is also considered in the design.

+ Does the package include A-Arm skids?

No, the A-Arm (Control Arm) skid plates are sold separately. This package focuses on the core drivetrain: Engine, Transmission, and Transfer-Case.

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
