Highlights:

Prevent Damage to Your Oil Pan and Power Steering System
10-Gauge Powder-Coated Steel Construction

Includes Installation Hardware and Instructions
Doesn't Interfere With Most Aftermarket Bumpers, Brush Guards, Hidden Winches, and Other Upgrades

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, but can also be upgraded to 1/4" thick 5052 aluminum in either a raw finish or black powder coat finish to save some weight. 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.

4WD F150s only: this kit will only fit 4WD F150s, and will not RWD/2WD F150s.

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.

2015 F150 Ecoboost 3.5L

I purchased this skid plate to get some additional protection. When it arrived the plates are great quality however it only came with 2 speed nuts rather than 8 and the second row of bolts did not match the holes to my frame. I tried to reach out to customer support and can't get anyone to reply to me. So here I am stuck with a great looking product without any vendor support.

2018 F150 Lariat Sport 4x4

I have had these installed for about 3 weeks now. Installation was pretty straight forward and took about and hour. Fit is perfect and these are indeed heavy duty. I opted for the powder coated steel ones. One word of advise...don't reuse the factory mounting brackets and instead replace them with the ones included in this kit. One of the factory mounts snapped during installation and due to its location, I had to gradually remove the head of the bolt with a Dremel until I could get the thing out (took forever). I haven't attempted an oil change yet so I am not sure if I will need to remove a skid plate to do so. This kit is solid and plan to purchase the fuel tank plate as well soon.

2016 Ford F150 Reg. Cab 6.5 Box

Definitly offers more protection then the factory little skid plate for the steering componets that hang down to low. Went with the 1/4 inch aluminum skid plate. Pretty much a bolt on item. Had a little trouble with inserting the clips in the bottom of the frame rail, but other then that is a easy installation.

The plates and hardware are good. The plates a beefy and will take beating. The only reason i gave it 4 stars is the instruction is a bit unclear on brackets for the front plate.

2018 2.7L F150

I've purchased all three skid plates to protect my engine and transmission from the bumper to the back of the transmission. These are very well made, strudy and because of the installation kit that comes with them, a snap to install. The mounting holes line up perfectly with manufacturer bolt holes or openings in the frame where a slip in nut clip (included with the kit) provides a solid threaded nut insert to bolt the plate to. The plates overlap from one to another so there is a continuous plate from front to back with no gaps. I removed the cheap plastic air dam that sits under the front bumper and, IMHO, that alone cleaned up the front end of the truck. These plates replace the phony, ineffective, fiber barriers that Ford has installed under the engine and transmission. You can't go wrong with these plates.

2019 f150

Get the aluminum! It's really thick and heavy, worth the rust protection. Installed like a charm, bought a new-to-me truck that didn't have factory OEM skid plate or plastic shielding for the motor. In fact, my truck was missing some factory bolts so RCI sent me an extra set of heavy-duty hardware. I recommend spraying some undercoat or even just some rustoleum on the hardware after mounting it but before attaching the plate. So for about them same prices as an OEM replacement, I got heavy-duty aluminum that looks awesome and will last forever.

RCI products are top notch and Stage 3 makes the process seamless. Stage 3 will keep you updated every step of the process while your parts are manufactured. Fitment is excellent and manufacturing is spot on. Would highly recommend.

Easy installation and looks great. You cannot use the factory transmission "cover" without a slight mod. That will be the next purchase but until then here is a picture of how I made it work.

2021 F150 5.0 4X4

Awesome. Easy install. 2021 Gen14 F150 5.0, Aluminum plates. Left adaptive air dam in for now. It still works. Great support from Frank etc on my build an install. Tips: Use hand socket, then impact wrench only on final torque. Ford parts are soft so replace with RCI ones. I think if you have 2021 with intercooler you have to drill an extra hole in skid plate mounting brackets to accommodate it. But another owner did it no problem. The quality is incredible. Crazy solid. Look super slick. I love them. Cant wait to get out on the trail and hit some rocks with confidence. ha ha

The skid plates arrived well packaged and without damage. Installation was good but instructions and tips were lacking. Good product overall but if the installer thinks it's plug and play, it's not.

I understand this will work with a 2019 F150 3.0 Powerstroke, just wondering if I would be able to change the oil with it on. Only have to worry about the drain plug as the filter is on top of the motor. Not sure if the drain plug is on the same location as the other motors.

Asked by: Christopher - 4/19/2024

We have not had a 3.0 powerstroke F150 as a project vehicle to be able to confirm the location of the drain plug to the opening on the skid plate.
