Description

RCI Offroad Transfer Case Skid Plate | 2009+ Ford F-150

Complete Underbody Defense. 100% Bolt-On. Protect Your Vacuum Pump & Drivetrain.

The Missing Piece of Your Off-Road Armor

Complete the underbody protection of your 2009-Present Ford F-150 with the RCI Metalworks Transfer Case Skid Plate. The transfer case is one of the most vulnerable and low-hanging components on the F-150 chassis—one misplaced rock can lead to a catastrophic failure and an expensive tow.

Engineered and manufactured in the USA, this skid plate is designed to protect both the transfer case and the sensitive vacuum pump. Whether you are navigating technical trails in a Raptor or working on a rugged job site, this plate provides the "sliding" surface you need to clear obstacles without hanging up.

The Problem & The Solution:

The Pain: The factory "protection" is often non-existent or made of flimsy plastic that does nothing to prevent a jagged rock from cracking your transfer case housing.
The RCI Solution: A precision-engineered, CNC-cut plate that uses 100% Bolt-On installation to factory mounting points. No drilling, no hassle—just bulletproof protection.

Key Features: RCI Transfer Case Armor

Ecoboost & Raptor Ready

Fully compatible with all 4x4 F-150 models, including high-output Ecoboost and Raptor variants.

Obstacle Sliding Surface

The smooth, flat surface is designed to slide over rocks and stumps rather than catching on them.

Rust-Resistant Finish

Steel versions feature a high-quality black powder coat to ensure years of protection against the elements.

Lightweight Aluminum Option

Aluminum version weighs only 10 lbs, offering superior protection without sacrificing your truck's payload.

Over-Engineered in the USA

We don't cut corners. RCI skid plates are CNC laser cut and formed to provide a custom-fit appearance with maximum structural integrity. This plate integrates seamlessly with other RCI underbody components to create a full "armor suit" for your truck.

Real Owner Feedback ★★★★★

"Installed this on my 2018 Raptor. The fitment is perfect and it covers that low-hanging transfer case that always worried me. Took about 15 minutes to install with basic hand tools. This is a must-have for anyone who actually takes their F-150 off the pavement."

- David K., F-150 Raptor Owner

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Is drilling required for installation?

No. This skid plate is a direct bolt-on addition to existing factory attachment points. You can install it in minutes with basic hand tools.

+ Will this fit my 2WD F-150?

This specific skid plate is designed for 4x4 trucks. 2WD trucks generally do not have a transfer case to protect in this location.

+ Should I choose Steel or Aluminum?

Choose Steel if you plan on frequent, heavy rock crawling where the plate will take direct hits. Choose Aluminum if you want rust-proof protection and weight savings for overlanding or daily driving.

+ Does this protect the vacuum pump?

Yes. RCI has specifically engineered this plate to provide coverage for both the transfer case and the vacuum pump found on newer F-150 models.

+ Is it compatible with the Ecoboost motors?

Absolutely. This skid plate is compatible with all motor options, including the 2.7L and 3.5L Ecoboost, as well as the 5.0L V8.

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
