Drivetrain Skid Plate Set OFFROAD Toyota Hilux IX Travo 2026- steel red

You can buy skid plates one at a time, but the truth is that if you drive off road you will end up with all of them anyway. The set takes the shopping out of it and costs less than the same plates bought separately.

The set covers radiators, engine, steering box, front axle, gearbox and transfer case — all in the steel red finish, from parts designed to join into one continuous underbody shield.

What is in the set

• Engine, radiators, steering box and front axle skid plate — GEnHilux2026offroad-re

Key benefits

• Cheaper than the parts separately — for the same contents the set costs less than the sum of individual plates
• A coherent shield — plates from one finish family join to each other, with no gaps between parts from different series
• One order, one installation — no returning to the workshop three times as you add the next plate

Who it is for

For owners of the new Hilux who actually intend to drive it off the tarmac, not just look ready for it. The factory covers on this vehicle are plastic and serve aerodynamics — the first serious contact with the ground cracks them, and what sits behind them is considerably more expensive.

Fitting notes

The plate bolts into factory holes in the chassis — the manufacturer states plainly that no drilling or welding is needed, so the installation is reversible. It is worth fitting alongside the other Heavy Cruiser plates for this vehicle: they are designed to join into one continuous underbody shield rather than act as independent patches. Note that the product has no road homologation — it is equipment for off-road use.

Why buy this one

• Designed for this specific model year, not a universal plate to be adapted.
• Bolts into factory points — no drilling, no welding, no work on the chassis.
• Joins the other HC plates into a full set you can build up in stages.

Frequently asked questions

Does fitting require drilling or welding?

No. The manufacturer states the plate bolts into factory holes in the chassis.

Will the plate make the drivetrain overheat?

The plate has additional openings intended to prevent that and to let mud clear. That is standard across the Heavy Cruiser Offroad line.

Can it be combined with the other plates?

Yes — the manufacturer designs the plates for this vehicle to form one coherent underbody shield. Ready-made sets and an Offroad package are available too.

Is the product homologated?

No. The manufacturer states plainly that it is not — it is for off-road use.
