Ford F-150 (2024.5+) Diablo Pre-Runner Bull Bar - VIKOR
VIKOR INDUSTRIESThe same Diablo alloy platform as the no-loop bar for the facelifted Ford F-150 (2024.5+), with a single centre hoop added over the bonnet line. VIKOR build it from aluminium they describe as crash-tested, finish it in Luxe Matte Black powdercoat, and supply the standard bar with two spotlight mounts.
What vehicles does this fit?
| Make | Model | Variant | Body | Years | Fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ford | F-150 (facelift) | All variants except Lariat and Raptor | All cab styles | 2024.5+ | Direct fit |
| Ford | F-150 (facelift) | Lariat | All cab styles | 2024.5+ | Fits with active front spoiler delete |
| Ford | F-150 (pre-facelift) | - | All cab styles | 2021-2024 | Does not fit - VIKOR make a separate bar (VDBB2F150-21) |
VIKOR list this bar for the facelift front end only and sell a different part number for the pre-facelift truck. The change happened part way through 2024, so order against your build date rather than the model year on the paperwork.
Key features
- Single loop pre-runner design with two spotlight mounts as standard
- Aluminium, which VIKOR state is crash-tested, in Luxe Matte Black powdercoat
- The same Diablo front-end design as the no-loop bar, with a centre hoop added
- Cut for the MY2024.5 facelift front end
The hoop is the difference between the two Diablo bars. It adds presence and a little weight and height, and it changes what you can see over the bonnet. That is the whole decision.

Sensor and safety system compatibility
Depending on variant, an F-150 runs front parking sensors, a 360 camera, radar cruise and AEB, and those are the first thing to settle before a replacement front bar goes on. VIKOR list one fitment requirement for this bar: Lariat models need the active front spoiler removed. Frontal protection is a regulated fitment in Australia. NXG make no compliance claim of our own.

Frequently asked questions
What do the two spotlight mounts take?
VIKOR supply the standard bar with two spotlight mounts on the hoop. Lights are not included, so budget for a pair on top of the bar.
I have a Lariat. What is the spoiler delete?
The Lariat runs a deployable aero spoiler under the front bumper, and it sits where the bar needs to be. It has to be removed for the bar to fit. VIKOR state this as a requirement rather than a suggestion, so build it into the installation quote.
Will it fit a 2021-2024 F-150?
No. This bar is cut for the MY2024.5 facelift front end, and the pre-facelift trucks have different bumper and grille geometry. VIKOR make a separate pre-runner bar for those years under part number VDBB2F150-21. Tell us your build date and we will send the right one.
How do I tell a pre-facelift truck from a facelift?
The change landed part way through 2024, which is why it is written as MY2024.5 rather than a clean model year. The grille and headlight treatment are the visible tell. If you are not certain, send us the build date off the compliance plate and we will match the bar to it.
Does the hoop obstruct the view over the bonnet?
Some, and on a bonnet as tall as an F-150 that is worth thinking about. Most owners stop noticing it quickly. If forward vision is your priority, buy the No Loop and mount lights on the roof line instead.
