Aluminium Front Bar — Ford Ranger PX1/PX2/PX3 (2011–2022) & Everest (2015–2022)
Includes RIVAL LED FOG Lights (Set of 2)
Installation Manual
Weight: 45 kg
The Ford Ranger PX series dominated Australian ute sales for over a decade — and hundreds of thousands of them are still hard at work across the country, from the vineyards of the Barossa Valley to the mine sites of the Bowen Basin. The RIVAL Aluminium Front Bar provides the front-end upgrade these Rangers deserve, covering all three PX generations and the Everest wagon. At 45 kg, it adds meaningful protection against animal strikes, bush debris and trail obstacles without pushing your Ranger over GVM when it's loaded for a week-long touring trip through the Kimberley.

Why Choose Aluminium Over Steel?
Reduced Front-End Weight
At 45 kg, this bar keeps the Ranger's front end light, preserving payload capacity that's critical for tradies, tourers and fleet operators who run their Rangers hard every day.
Superior Corrosion Resistance
Aluminium naturally resists rust — essential for Rangers working in coastal construction, farming in wet regions, or touring through tropical North Queensland.
Engineered Energy Management
Aluminium construction deforms progressively under impact, assisting in controlled energy dispersion during a collision.
Optimised for Modern Vehicles
Supports correct airbag deployment and reduces front-axle loading, maintaining factory ride comfort, fuel economy and braking distances.
