Component Protected: Transmission
Weight: 7.5 kg
When you're navigating the remote outback tracks near William Creek, the last thing you want to worry about is a rock or hidden obstacle smashing into your transmission. Your transmission housing sits directly in the firing line of rocks, stumps, and trail debris. A cracked or damaged transmission casing can leave you stranded hundreds of kilometres from the nearest workshop. This precision-engineered bash plate keeps your gearbox safe. Designed specifically for the Ford Ranger Next Gen / Everest Next Gen / Raptor Next Gen / Amarok, this RIVAL 4x4 high-strength aluminium alloy bash plate delivers precision-engineered protection that bolts directly to factory mounting points — no drilling, no permanent modifications, and no compromise on ground clearance.
