Protect Your F-150's Radiator Before It's Too Late
Your Ford F-150's radiator sits right at the front of the vehicle — first in line for every stone, stick, and piece of trail debris that comes its way. A cracked radiator core means an overheating engine, and in remote Australia that can quickly become a serious and expensive problem. The RIVAL 4x4 Aluminium Radiator Bash Plate is precision-engineered for the F-150, bolting directly to factory mounting points to put a solid 6mm aluminium shield between the road and your cooling system — without drilling, without permanent modifications, and without blocking the airflow your radiator needs to do its job.
Built from deep-stamped high-strength aluminium alloy (5251 grade), the plate's integrated stiffening ribs deliver up to twice the impact resistance of flat-plate designs. At just 5.9 kg, it adds serious protection without loading up your suspension or eating into your GVM. The ventilated design and precision drain holes keep airflow and drainage working as intended, so your cooling system stays efficient on the road and on the tracks.
Key Features
- 6mm deep-stamped high-strength aluminium alloy (5251 grade)
- Integrated stiffening ribs — up to 2x the impact resistance of flat-plate designs
- Ventilated design — full radiator airflow maintained at all times
- Precision drain holes — prevents mud and water pooling

- Direct bolt-on to factory mounting points — no drilling or chassis modification
- Fully reversible installation — won't affect your vehicle warranty
- Weight: 5.9 kg
- Fitment: Ford F-150 (2014–Present)
Why Aluminium?
- 40% lighter than steel — less load on your suspension, better fuel economy, and more GVM headroom for gear and recovery equipment
- Naturally corrosion resistant — aluminium's protective oxide layer combined with powder coating resists rust after salt-air exposure, water crossings, and red-dust trails
- Energy absorbing — distributes impact energy across the plate rather than transmitting it directly to mounting points and chassis rails
- GVM friendly — keeps you within manufacturer weight targets, important for insurance, warranty, and roadworthiness compliance
