Provides More Protection for your Oil Pan and Power Steering System

The stock skid plate (if your F150 even has one) does its job, but it's not the most sturdy thing in the world and it doesn't do much to protect your F150's Electronic Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) system. That's where RCI's Engine Skid Plate Kit comes in. RCI's Skid Plate Kit consists of two plates of thick metal that both replace your F150's flimsy factory skid plate and add another plate to better protect your F150's EPAS system in one seamless skid plate system that reaches all the way from under your truck's front bumper to its rear front crossmember. The RCI Engine Skid plate Kit installs without drilling, cutting, or any other permanent modifications, making it a breeze to add protection to your truck.

Thick Metal Construction with a Bolt-On Installation

The RCI Skid Plate Kit is extremely strong and keep your F150's critical engine and power steering components much better protected than the factory skid plate. RCI's Skid Plates are made out of 10-gauge steel with a black powder coat finish as standard. Each Skid Plate Kit was designed to mount without interfering with aftermarket bumpers (at least those that don't include their own skid plates), brush guards, hidden winches, and other upgrades. The Skid Plate Kit is surprisingly easy to install and comes with all the hardware and installation instructions you need to get them on your aggressive truck.

Air Dam Removal Required RCI's skid plates require removal of the factory air dam for installation.

Lift Kit Fitment: the engine skid plate sections may require custom modifications to work with some suspension lift kits.

Bumpers, Bull Bars, and Grille Guards Fitment: the engine skid plates may not fit properly with aftermarket off-road bumpers that include their own skid plates, grille guards, or bull bars.

2011 F150 Ecoboost

The mounting brackets do not line up with frame rails. I can get one bolt in but even then there should be 2 bolts holding the bracket to the frame and further the front part of the plate doesnt reach the mounts. I have reached out several times to customer service both here and with the supplier (RCI) to no avail. Biggest waste of money.

2013 Ford F-150 xlt EcoBoost

Great skid plate. Well made mounts and plates. Install was fairly straightforward. It should do the job well.

2014 F-150 ecoboost

This is a necessary upgrade for me after my fiber and plastic OEM skid plate got taken out by my adventuring. I had a hard time installing just by myself, so I bought two bolts that were 1/2" longer to accommodate for my inter cooler. It made the install significantly easier. Also, if you have an impact driver, use that instead of just a manual ratchet. Especially if you're doing the install solo.

2007 Expedition EL

RCI describes these skids as bolt on attachments for 2007-2014 Expy's. They do NOT fit. They do appear very well made. And a lot of people talk about how the front end of 2007-2017 Expy's are identical to 2009-2014 F-150's. I can assure you that this is only partially true at best and that the specs of the front cross member as well as the front frame horns on the 2007 Expy's are significantly different...assuming these RCI skids actually fit the F-150.

Will this clear the intercooler on a 2012 EcoBoost 4x4? The last one from a competitor said it would, and it did NOT.

Asked by: idunlash - 4/22/2023

This kit from RCI will not have any clearance issue with the factory intercooler location.

Do these work on 2wd trucks? When it says air dam removal required for install, does it mean permanently? Or can I reinstall the air dam after the skid plate is installed

Asked by: Jake - 2/7/2023

This skid plate kit will fit both 4WD and RWD models. The air dam has to be removed for installation. Due to the position of the skids, there's really not a way to reinstall them without modifications.
