Toyota Fortuner & Ford Everest Receive Full Summit Treatment
Since the release of ARB’s flagship Summit protection range, ARB engineers have been working tirelessly to deliver applications that suit most popular 4wd vehicles. ARB is pleased to announce the release of the Summit bar, side rails and steps for the Toyota Fortuner and the Ford Everest.
Ford Everest:
The ARB Summit bar to suit Ford’s latest 4×4 wagon, the Everest, was designed with consideration to the vehicle’s extensive technological and safety features. Everest owners can be confident that the fitment of ARB’s premium Summit Bar will compliment the manufacturer’s standard features and further improve safety for both the vehicle and the passengers within.
The Ford Everest Summit Bar is designed and manufactured with a focus on superior engineering strength coupled with an aesthetic application that follows the lines and features of the vehicle. Offering further protection are ARB’s Summit range of side rails and steps to protect your vehicle from both side and below impact.

Toyota Fortuner:
The most recent addition to Toyota’s 4×4 line up, is the Fortuner five door wagon. Built around the platform of Australia’s longest standing dual cab ute, the HiLux, the Fortuner is fast becoming a family favourite. Given the genuine off road capability of this 4×4 wagon, ARB are proud to release the Summit range of protection equipment including the Toyota Fortuner Summit Bar, Side Rails and Steps, giving families improved safety for their upcoming adventures.
Toyota Fortuner Summit Bar
Whilst visually similar to the HiLux, there are a number of key differences, including the Fortuner’s greater front overhang, that required a separate bar development program.
The front buffer section is common across the Summit range of frontal protection. A shorter top section of the buffer has been developed to ensure that the front overhang of the bar is kept to a minimum yet still retains sufficient space for winch access and mounting of driving lights. Bar uprights, press formed cover straps, wings and pans are all unique to the Fortuner.
Due to a largely retained chassis design, the previously developed ARB Recovery Points and Under Vehicle Protection products are shared across both HiLux and Fortuner models.
