2005–2023 Toyota Tacoma
The RCI Offroad Transmission Skid Plate for 2005–2023 Toyota Tacoma protects your transmission, second cross-member, and third cross-member from rocks, roots, and undercarriage strikes that can cost thousands in repairs. Built with your choice of CNC laser-cut 3/16″ steel or 1/4″ aluminum, this plate bolts directly to your Tacoma and integrates seamlessly with RCI's front and transfer-case skid plates or stands alone as a complete transmission guard.
Real Protection for Your Tacoma's Vulnerable Underbody
Factory Tacoma skid plates leave the transmission exposed. The RCI transmission plate fills that gap with structural coverage engineered to absorb impact and deflect obstacles while you trail, ford, or push into rough terrain. Service openings allow fluid checks and maintenance without plate removal.
- Material Options: Choose CNC laser-cut 3/16″ steel or 1/4″ aluminum—both precision-fit to your 2005–2023 Tacoma, allowing you to balance weight, durability, and cost based on your use case.
- Transmission & Cross-Member Coverage: Protects the transmission, second cross-member, and third cross-member—the points most vulnerable to underbody damage on uneven terrain.
- Reinforced Edges: Edges are reinforced to handle lateral impacts and prevent peeling or deflection under sustained load.
- Service Openings: Built-in openings let you check transmission fluid and perform routine maintenance without unbolting the entire plate.
- Modular Design: Works as a standalone shield or stacks with RCI front and transfer-case skid plates for complete underbody armor on your Tacoma.

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.
