RCI Off Road Engine Skid Plate | 2015-Present Ford F-150 RCI Off Road

** ESTIMATED LEAD TIME: 2-4 weeks Steel / 4-6 weeks Aluminum **

Whether sliding over rocks or hitting a surprisingly deep pothole, many of your vehicles most expensive components are completely exposed below and underbody damage is costly. Protect your investment with RCI skids, the ultimate defense for all on and off-road hazards.

Many F-150 drivers have been looking for skid plates for daily driving, overlanding, and off-road. Whether you use your vehicle for work or play, they have an option that will work for your application. RCI’s F-150 skid plates are available in two popular options: 

10ga Steel– Great all-purpose protection, and the best value for the money. These make a great upgrade whether you already have the stock skid plates, or have nothing at all. The 10 gauge skid plates are far tougher than OEM and provide significantly more coverage, especially when purchased as part of the “Full Skid Plate Package”. A heavy duty black powder coat finish is standard on the steel option and will provide years of reliable use and great looks.

1/4” Aluminum– Excellent all around protection for any purpose, substantially stronger than factory skid plates, extremely corrosion  resistant and cannot rust means they require no finish or paint prior to installation. The aluminum skid plates are extremely lightweight yet strong and are the premium choice if you are looking for the best strength to weight ratio, while being comparable if not holding a slight edge over the 10ga steel product line.
