Total Underbody Coverage for the Ford Everest Next Gen
The Ford Everest Next Gen is one of Australia's most capable family touring wagons — but factory underbody protection leaves critical components exposed to the rocks, stumps, and debris that come with serious off-road use. This RIVAL 4x4 set of five aluminium bash plates covers every vulnerable component from radiator to fuel tank, giving your Everest the underbody armour it deserves for Cape York, the Gibb River Road, or any remote track in between. Buying the complete set means nothing is left unprotected — and you save compared to purchasing each plate individually.
Each plate is precision laser-cut and deep-stamped from 6mm high-strength aluminium alloy with a textured matte black powder coat finish. They bolt directly to factory mounting points with no drilling, no cutting, and no permanent modifications — and at a combined weight of 41.9 kg, the full set keeps you well within GVM limits on a loaded touring vehicle.
What's Protected
- Radiator Bash Plate — First in line for frontal impacts. A punctured radiator means instant overheating and a stranded vehicle. This plate deflects rock strikes and keeps your cooling system intact.
- Engine Bash Plate — The oil pan and sump sit low and exposed. A single rock strike can crack the sump, drain the oil, and seize the engine. This plate shields the entire engine underside.
- Transmission Bash Plate — The auto gearbox housing can't tolerate impacts. Damage here means fluid loss and complete drivetrain failure. This plate guards the gearbox from underneath.
- Transfer Case Bash Plate — The heart of your 4WD system, sitting centrally and low. A cracked transfer case disables four-wheel drive at exactly the moment you need it most.
- Fuel Tank Bash Plate — Up to 80 litres of diesel sitting beneath the rear of the vehicle with minimal factory protection. A punctured tank in remote Australia is a serious emergency. This plate provides peace of mind on every kilometre of unsealed road.

Why Aluminium?
- GVM friendly — five plates add up fast; aluminium's 40% weight advantage over steel keeps you within limits on a fully loaded touring vehicle
- Naturally corrosion resistant — won't rust after water crossings, coastal driving, or years of exposure to salt air and tropical humidity
- Energy absorbing — distributes impact force across the plate rather than transmitting it directly to chassis rails and mounting points
- Modern engineering — deep-stamped 6mm alloy delivers comparable protection to steel at significantly less weight
