2008-2022 Toyota Sequoia (2nd Gen)
The RCI Offroad Fuel Tank Skid Plate protects the vulnerable fuel tank on your 2008–2022 Toyota Sequoia from rocks, stumps, and deep potholes that puncture stock protection or leave your tank exposed. Underbody damage is expensive; this skid plate is the defense that keeps your fuel system intact whether you're crawling technical terrain or navigating surprise obstacles on the highway.
Real Protection for Your Fuel System
RCI skid plates deliver far more coverage and durability than OEM Sequoia protection. Your fuel tank sits low and forward—one strike can mean a costly repair or a dangerous leak. This skid plate absorbs the impact so your tank doesn't have to.
- Steel Construction — Two Gauges: The 26-gallon tank skid is 10ga steel; the 38-gallon skid is 12ga steel. Steel offers the best all-purpose protection and value, tougher than OEM factory plates with superior coverage.
- Complete Fuel Tank Coverage: Shields the entire fuel tank assembly from direct rock strikes, debris, and underbody hazards common to off-road and rough-road driving.
- Bolt-On Installation: Fastens directly to your Sequoia's frame without permanent modification. Refer to fitment guide for exact mounting points.
- Tested Off-Road Durability: Engineered by RCI Offroad—a brand built for serious trail and backcountry use. Steel construction resists warping and dent propagation under repeated impacts.
Fitment: 2008–2022 Toyota Sequoia (2nd Generation)
This skid plate fits all 2008–2022 Sequoia 2nd-generation models, regardless of cab configuration, engine, or trim level. Use the fitment verifier above to confirm compatibility with your exact configuration.

Product FAQ
Do all Tundras have skid plates?
?
No. Factory Tundras do not come standard with fuel tank or transfer case skid plates. Many owners add aftermarket protection like RCI Offroad plates to shield vulnerable components from trail hazards and underbody strikes.
What year Toyota Sequoia to avoid?
No specific year range is universally problematic for the 2nd-generation Sequoia (2008–2022). Research your target year's service records and recall history on Toyota's official website before purchase. All generations benefit from underbody protection regardless of year.
What are the different models of Toyota Sequoia?
Toyota produced two generations: 1st Generation (2000–2007) and 2nd Generation (2008–2022). The 2024+ model marks the third generation. This RCI skid plate fits the 2nd Generation only.
What is the best year Toyota Sequoia?
2nd-generation Sequoias (2008–2022) generally offer the best balance of reliability, features, and parts availability. Specific year preference depends on your budget, desired options, and maintenance history. Later model years (2016+) include more modern safety and infotainment updates.
Why do cars have skid plates?
Skid plates protect critical underbody components—fuel tanks, transfer cases, oil pans, differentials—from rocks, stumps, and debris strikes during off-road driving or on rough terrain. Without protection, a single impact can rupture a fuel tank, crack a differential housing, or cause expensive damage requiring frame work to repair.
Is Toyota discontinuing the Sequoia?
No. Toyota discontinued the 2nd-generation Sequoia after 2022, but the 3rd-generation Sequoia launched for the 2024 model year with a redesigned platform and powertrain. 2nd-gen parts like this RCI skid plate remain available for existing owners.
How to pronounce Toyota Sequoia?
Sequoia is pronounced "se-KWOI-uh" (three syllables: se-KWO-yuh). The word comes from the giant sequoia tree native to California.
What is the Shift L button on a Toyota Sequoia?
The Shift L button on automatic Sequoias manually downshifts the transmission to a lower gear, holding that gear for engine braking or improved acceleration control. It's useful for towing, descending steep grades, or controlling engine speed without relying solely on the brake pedal.
Built by Owners, for Owners
Bolted right on and fit perfectly. Support even confirmed fitment before I ordered.
Finally a shop that actually knows Toyotas. No guesswork, no wrong parts.
Fast shipping and the install guide made it a one-evening job. Stoked.
