Aluminium Front Bar — Toyota Hilux (2018–2021)
Includes RIVAL FOG Lights (Set of 2)
Installation Manual
Weight: 40 kg
The 2018–2021 Toyota Hilux brought the upgraded 2.8L turbo-diesel engine with more power and torque — making it even more capable on Australia's toughest tracks. The RIVAL Aluminium Front Bar keeps pace with that capability, delivering tough protection at a remarkably light 40 kg. Whether you're working out of Emerald on the Queensland coalfields, running between properties in western Victoria, or heading up the Bloomfield Track from Cooktown, this bar provides the front-end armour your Hilux needs to handle whatever comes next.

Why Choose Aluminium Over Steel?
Reduced Front-End Weight
At just 40 kg, this is one of the lightest Hilux bars available, maximising your payload capacity for tools, camping gear and supplies.
Superior Corrosion Resistance
Aluminium naturally resists rust — perfect for tradies working in wet conditions, coastal environments and tropical 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, preserving braking performance and fuel economy.
