Six millimetres of aluminium under the nose of a Hilux is the choice for a truck that actually works in rock, not one that drives to forest car parks. The plate covers radiator and engine in a single panel.

6.0 mm aluminium. Rival lists 6.0 mm thickness and a silver finish. Thicker material spreads a point impact better, and the front end collects most of those hits simply because it reaches the obstacle first.

Still lighter than steel. Even at this gauge aluminium stays lighter than a steel panel of comparable resistance. On a part mounted at the very front of the truck that has a direct effect on how the vehicle rides rough ground.

Installation. Fitting kit included.

Fitment. The catalogue name lists the Toyota Hilux for 2017-2020, 2020-2025 and from 2025 with the 2.8 l diesel. The technical description is broader — Hilux 4WD from 2015 plus the Toyota Fortuner from 2015. We will confirm the fit for your truck before you order.
