Ford F-150 (2021-2024) Diablo Pre-Runner Bull Bar - VIKOR
VIKOR INDUSTRIESA single hoop alloy bull bar for the pre-facelift Ford F-150 (2021-2024). It replaces the whole front bumper with a low-protrusion face and adds one centre hoop over the bonnet line. Built from 5mm aluminium over a steel winch cradle, it weighs around 50kg and comes finished in VIKOR's Luxe Matte Black powdercoat with VKX Cube LED lights already fitted.
What vehicles does this fit?
| Make | Model | Variant | Body | Years | Fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ford | F-150 (pre-facelift) | All variants except Raptor | All cab styles | 2021-2024 | Direct fit |
| Ford | F-150 (facelift) | - | All cab styles | 2024.5+ | Does not fit - VIKOR make a separate bar (VDBB2F150-26) |
| Ford | F-150 Raptor | - | All cab styles | All years | Does not fit - the Raptor front end is wider |
The F-150 front end changed part way through 2024, which is why it is written as MY2024.5 rather than a clean model year. Order against your build date rather than the model year on the paperwork.

The hoop is the entire difference between this bar and the No Loop. It adds presence and a little weight and height, and it changes what you can see over a bonnet that is already tall. Weight is the reason to run alloy at all: a steel bar of the same coverage drops the nose enough to change the ride and push you toward a bigger lift to correct it.

Frequently asked questions
Will it fit a 2024.5 or later F-150?
No. The facelift changed the bumper and grille geometry, and VIKOR make a separate bar for it under part number VDBB2F150-26. Send us the build date off the compliance plate and we will match the bar to it.
Pre-Runner or No Loop?
Same bar, same weight class, same mounting. The Pre-Runner has a single centre hoop over the bonnet line and the No Loop does not. The hoop buys presence at the cost of some of the view forward. That is the whole decision.
Does it take a winch?
Yes. The steel cradle is sized for the VIKOR Rescue VI 12,000lb winch. The winch is not included.
Why aluminium rather than steel?
An F-150 already carries a lot of weight over the front axle. Hanging a steel bar ahead of it drops the nose, changes the steering feel and pushes you toward a bigger lift to correct. Aluminium gets you the frontal protection with far less of that penalty and no rust at every stone chip.
