Weight: 42 kg
The Nissan Navara D23 brought coil-spring rear suspension to the dual-cab ute segment, delivering ride comfort that its leaf-sprung rivals couldn’t match.

Why Choose Aluminium Over Steel?
Reduced Rear-End Weight
At 42 kg, this rear bar preserves the Navara D23’s coil-spring suspension dynamics and payload capacity — critical for a vehicle designed around ride comfort.
Superior Corrosion Resistance
Naturally resistant to rust — ideal for Navara owners tackling beach driving on Fraser Island, coastal salt air in the Whitsundays, or dusty conditions across the outback.
Engineered Energy Management
Aluminium deforms progressively under impact, assisting in energy dispersion during low-speed reversing impacts.
Optimised for Modern Vehicles
Compact, lightweight design works in harmony with the Navara’s unique coil-spring rear suspension, maintaining maximum departure angle and ride quality.
