• Significant Weight Savings — Aluminium is approximately 40% lighter than steel, preserving payload for tools and touring gear.
• Superior Corrosion Resistance — Aluminium naturally resists rust — essential for the Hilux’s demanding role.
• Excellent Energy Absorption — Aluminium absorbs impact energy rather than transmitting forces into the chassis.
• Engineered for Australia’s Most Popular Utes — Designed for Hilux and Fortuner without affecting payload or GVM.
