As for the first clause, not only NO, but h-e-double hockey sticks NO.  Search the term "skid plates" here and see the results! 
As for the second part of the sentence, yes it definitely lacks "heavy-duty construction" for even semi-serious (working) off roading. 
Although it lacks a traditional "4 low" my RL does have considerable pulling and climbing power in first gear VTM-4 on and VSA off mode.
