Heavy-Duty 10G Steel Protection. 100% Bolt-On. American Made.
Shield Your Super Duty’s Most Vulnerable LinkThe transfer case is the heart of your 4WD system, yet on the Ford F-250/350/450, it sits exposed to rocks, stumps, and road debris. The RCI Offroad Transfer Case Skid Plate is the ultimate insurance policy for your 2020+ Super Duty, providing a rugged 10-gauge steel barrier where you need it most.
Engineered and manufactured in the USA, this skid plate is built for the demanding conditions of overlanding, job sites, and heavy off-road use. It replaces or upgrades flimsy factory guards with precision-engineered armor that actually handles an impact.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: A single "high-center" moment on a rock or a deep pothole can crack your transfer case housing, leading to a multi-thousand dollar repair and a truck that won't move.
The RCI Solution: Our 10 Gauge Steel plate creates a smooth, flat "sled" surface that allows your truck to slide over obstacles while keeping the transfer case completely isolated from impact.
Key Features: Transfer Case Defense
Uses 100% factory attachment points. No drilling or permanent modifications required to your Super Duty frame.
Far tougher than OEM skid plates. This 10-gauge steel is the "best value" balance between weight and extreme durability.
The smooth, flat surface ensures that if you do bottom out, your truck slides off the obstacle rather than getting hung up.
Standard heavy-duty black powder coat provides a durable, professional finish that stands up to road salt and debris.
Designed to be installed in minutes with basic hand tools. All necessary hardware and instructions are included.
Laser-cut and CNC-bent specifically for the 2020+ Ford Super Duty chassis for a rattle-free, perfect fit.
Whether your truck is a daily driver, an overlanding rig, or a dedicated work truck, this protection is non-negotiable.
Manufactured in-house by RCI Offroad, ensuring the highest standards of American craftsmanship.
Built for the Long HaulWe believe in "over-engineering." The RCI Transfer Case Skid Plate isn't just a flat sheet; it’s a reinforced component designed to take a hit and keep its shape. It integrates perfectly as part of a "Full Skid Plate Package" or as a standalone upgrade.

"The factory 'skid plate' was basically a joke. I installed the RCI 10G Transfer Case plate on my 2022 F-350 and the difference is night and day. It’s solid, didn’t require any drilling, and gives me way more confidence when I'm out on the trails or exploring backroads."
- Jake T., 2022 F-350 Owner*Repair costs are estimated for Ford F-Series models. A cracked transfer case often results in total loss of drive power.

CA Residents: ⚠️ WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
While fitment is 100% confirmed for the 6.7L Diesel, it is suspected to fit the 7.3L Godzilla gas models as the transfer case mounting points are shared. However, we always recommend verifying frame clearances if you have custom aftermarket accessories near the mid-chassis.
Yes. Since the skid plate bolts directly to the frame crossmembers, it is independent of your suspension lift height and will function perfectly with lifted trucks.
RCI's 10G steel is significantly stronger than any factory protection. For most overlanding and heavy-duty use, it is the perfect balance of protection and weight. If you plan on intentional, extreme rock crawling daily, you might consider our aluminum options (if available) for thickness, but steel is generally the preferred choice for impact resistance.
Transfer case fluid changes typically happen every 30k-60k miles. Depending on the exact drain plug location on your specific year, the plate may need to be lowered, which only takes about 5 minutes thanks to the simple bolt-on design.
At 57 lbs, it is manageable for one person using a floor jack to hold it in place while starting the bolts. However, having a second pair of hands makes the process much faster and safer.

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
