The plate is designed to bolt up alongside the VIKOR Diablo range on the F-150, so the two work together rather than fighting for the same mounting points. It also works on its own if you are not running a bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit a 2021-2024 F-150?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. VIKOR make a separate plate for the earlier truck under part number VUP1F150-21, and the two do not swap over. The changeover landed part way through 2024, which is why it is written as MY2024.5 rather than a clean model year. Send us the build date off the compliance plate and we will match the plate to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy aluminium instead of steel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight and where it sits. This plate mounts at the front of the truck, ahead of the axle, so its mass works against the front springs and comes out of your payload. A steel plate with the same coverage is heavier and rusts at every stone chip. Aluminium takes the same impact without either problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it replace the factory plate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The factory item is built for road spray and light debris rather than rock strikes. This takes its place. Keep the original if you ever want to put the truck back to standard.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VIKOR INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45168582426824,"sku":"VUP1F15026","price":380.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0623\/7890\/1704\/files\/Ford-F150-_2026_---Bash-Plate-vikor.jpg?v=1786323004","url":"https:\/\/nextgenranger.com.au\/products\/ford-f-150-bash-plate-vikor","provider":"NXG","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
