Description

RCI Offroad Transfer Case Skid Plate | 19-Present Ram 1500

Complete Your Underbody Armor. Heavy-Duty Crossmember Included. 100% Bolt-On.

The Missing Piece to Your Ram's Defense

The RCI Offroad Transfer Case Skid Plate is the final piece of the puzzle for total underbody security on your 2019-Present Ram 1500. The transfer case is one of the lowest-hanging and most vulnerable components on your drivetrain—a single misplaced rock can lead to a catastrophic failure that leaves you stranded.

Engineered and Manufactured in the USA, this skid plate doesn't just provide a shield; it includes a dedicated heavy-duty steel crossmember to ensure maximum structural integrity during high-centering or heavy impacts.

The Problem & The Solution:

The Pain: Factory "protection" often ignores the transfer case entirely, leaving a $2,000+ component exposed to jagged rocks and trail debris.
The RCI Solution: A precision-cut 10ga Steel or 1/4" Aluminum plate that creates a smooth, flat surface to glide over obstacles, backed by a reinforced bolt-on crossmember.

Customer Reviews ★★★★★

"The transfer case on the new Ram 1500 hangs down lower than you'd think. After seeing how exposed it was, I ordered the RCI skid. The included crossmember makes the whole setup feel extremely solid. Install was a breeze—total 'peace of mind' upgrade for anyone who actually takes their 4x4 off the pavement."

- Brandon T., 2021 Ram 1500 Owner

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Does this fit the Ram 1500 Classic?

No. This skid plate is designed specifically for the 5th Generation (2019-Present) New Body Style Ram 1500. The Classic models use a different chassis and are not compatible.

+ Is drilling required for installation?

No drilling is required. The system is a direct bolt-on and utilizes factory mounting points. Basic hand tools are all you need for the install.

+ I have an EcoDiesel, can I install this alone?

On EcoDiesel models, the transfer case skid plate requires the RCI Transmission Skid Plate to be installed first. The transmission skid provides the necessary mounting structure for the front portion of the transfer case plate.

+ Does the crossmember come with it?

Yes, every RCI Transfer Case Skid Plate for the Ram 1500 includes the custom-engineered 11lb steel black powder-coated crossmember at no additional charge.

+ Which material should I choose: Steel or Aluminum?

Steel (10ga): Offers the best value and is slightly more resistant to extreme gouging from sharp rocks. Aluminum (1/4"): Offers the best strength-to-weight ratio, is about 40% lighter, and will never rust—making it ideal for wet or salty climates.

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
