It mounts to the crossmember that the front of the splash shield mounts to. It would not interfere with draining the oil at all.

 

Hello,

Sorry we haven't been super active on here lately! If you have any questions, give us a call or email us!

 

I emailed and PM'd you some time ago, but never got a response - i've got a current order through Stage3 and i'm curious what you lead time is right now?

 

Anyone know the approximate weight of the full skid plate package from RCI?

 

Looks like around 135lbs.

 

I installed the steel engine skid plate which is 2 pieces and the transmission skid plate. i did not weigh them, but I would say 50 to 75 lbs total. Easy to install by yourself. They do have an Aluminum option.

 

I met two f150's with these hanging and flapping in the wind today. One was even dragging on the ground.

 

I guess statistics tell Ford most F150 owners are suburban highway drivers. The splash shied is designed for weight savings and sound deadening. It definitely is not designed for offroad or abnormal driving. Surprised the FX4 Offroad package has the same splash shield.

 

Add mine to the list too. We got a bunch of snow this week in Colorado, and I noticed it drooping down today. Got it zip tied back up for now, and am gonna call the dealer to see if they'll warranty it on Monday. I've got the FX4 package on my 2020, which doesn't include the transmission skid plate (!?), and am wondering if there's any other good recommendations besides the RCI plate? Just looking for a proper transmission skid plate, and need to get it on by early June before I head out for to cover a lot of miles on very remote 4x4 roads.

 

For the cost of $1000 FX4 option package, one would think we deserve $20 worth of metal under transmission instead of fuzzy plastic cardboard. If it isn't durable enough to last 10 years of average use, it should be improved.......dangnabbitt!!!
