Winch Mounting Plate HD Under Bumper Toyota Hilux IX Travo 2026- Heavy Cruiser

A winch hidden under the bumper suits those who want the equipment permanently without the vehicle looking like a recovery truck and without cutting the bumper. From the outside almost nothing changes — what changes is whether you get out of the mud on your own.

The plate bolts into factory chassis holes, with no drilling and no welding, and the winch ends up entirely under the original bumper.

Key benefits

• Winch invisible from outside — the factory bumper stays in place, with no cutting into the grille
• Up to 13,000 lbs — headroom even for a loaded pickup with a trailer
• 6 mm structural steel — a load-bearing part that carries rope load into the chassis
• Cut-out under the drum — dirt and sand off the rope have somewhere to fall instead of packing under the winch
• No drilling, no welding — fitted into existing points, so reversible

Who it is for

For owners of the new Hilux who want a winch permanently fitted, with no bumper swap and no change to how the vehicle looks. It is also the only plate included in the Heavy Cruiser OFFROAD package for this model.

Fitting notes

Bolts into factory chassis holes, no drilling or welding. Check the winch height before buying — the plate maker states a 173 mm limit, and some winches with the control box on top exceed it. The winch, rope, fairlead and electrics are separate items; tell us what pull you are after and we will match them. The product has no homologation.

Why buy this one

• Winch under the bumper — full function with no change to the look.
• 6 mm steel, bolted to the chassis rather than to body panels.
• The same plate the manufacturer puts in its own OFFROAD package.

Tell us which winch you have in mind and we will check it against the 173 mm limit.
