Sensor and safety system compatibility
Option 4WD state the bar is sensor compatible and that all factory features are retained. Sensor coverage on any steel rear bar sits slightly differently to the plastic original, so have the parking sensors and the reversing camera checked once the bar is on.
Option 4WD state the bar is ADR compliant. Rear bar rules are enforced at state level and they are not identical everywhere, so check what applies in the state where the vehicle is registered before it goes on.
Fitting and installation
The bar bolts to the existing chassis mounting points on the Raptor. No cutting of the body or the chassis. At roughly 55kg it is a two-person lift, and the reverse and number plate lights have to be wired into the factory loom, so professional installation is recommended.
What's included
Included: rear bar, mounting hardware, reverse lights, number plate lights.
Not included: rated recovery points, tow hitch, towing harness, fitting. The hitch and harness are not supplied because both transfer across from your factory bumper.
Frequently asked questions
Will this rear bar affect my parking sensors?
Option 4WD state all factory features are retained. Sensor coverage on any steel rear bar sits slightly differently to the plastic original, so have the system checked once the bar is on.
Is this the same bar as the standard Ranger version?
No. Option 4WD sell the Raptor version under its own part number, OPTFIRB-FR, and state it is specifically designed for the Next Gen Ford Raptor. The standard Ranger bar is OPTFIRB-F22 and is listed separately. Order to the vehicle you actually own.
Does it come with recovery points?
No. Option 4WD list rated recovery points as not included as standard. If you want a recovery point at the rear, budget for a rated solution separately and have it fitted at the same time as the bar. Do not use a tow hitch tongue or a tie-down loop as a snatch recovery point.
Do I keep my tow bar?
Yes. Option 4WD state the factory tow hitch transfers across from the original bumper, along with the towing harness. Neither is supplied in the box for that reason. Option 4WD list towing capacity as rated to each vehicle, so your existing tow rating and trailer wiring carry over.
