This RCI Metalworks engine skid plate covers the EPAS power steering unit on newer trucks, the front differential, the front cross-member, the engine and engine bay, and the low-hanging intercooler on EcoBoost models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a two-piece design with six mounting points, so subsections can come off for maintenance. Removing two bolts lets the front panel slide away for access to the oil filters. The plate mounts to the frame horns behind the tow hooks, so it stays clear of aftermarket bumpers and hidden winches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFits 4x4 F-150s on the 2015-present chassis. Trucks from 2015 to 2020 may need the air dam removed for installation, and it can be reattached afterward; 2021 and newer trucks do not need that. It is not compatible with 4\" or taller lift kits. This plate does not replace the factory fiber board transmission cover; that is the job of the RCI transmission skid plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOptions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e10 gauge steel with a heavy-duty black powdercoat is the all-purpose, best-value choice. 1\/4\" aluminum is lighter, corrosion resistant and needs no finish; it is also available with satin black powdercoat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstall notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt bolts onto existing factory attachment points with no drilling, and hardware and instructions are included. Made in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuestions before you order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFitment questions are easier to settle before the box ships.
