Yeah, I was referring to a separate FRONT bumper. It looks like that may be on the Raptor only, potentially the Tremor?

Sorry for the confusion

I sure hope Ford is just messing with us by masking the front end with ROW Ranger parts on the front clip. Sounds like the majority of posts here are not fans of the NA Rangers that have been “caught in the wild”.

Side note… I wonder how much manufacturers watch these sites with open discussions about future production vehicles? Free market research for them, so I wouldn’t be surprised.

if so, hear us now….Someone slipped a turd into the punch bowl. 😜

Definitely not a fan of that front bumper situation, it looks like a Honda "H" logo got stretched out wide and stuck to the front. Here's to hoping the FX4 and/ or Tremor get a Raptor influenced bumper design. As tempting as the GM twins could be, I'd prefer the Ford rear e-locker over the GM G80, so still holding out to see what officially rolls out. And even if this is all we get on non-Raptors, can't wait to see what the aftermarket can do.

I agree with you here. It's the main item I wish they would change in the twins. I had the G80 in my Sierra and it would lock on me coming out of my home due to a steep off-camber turn, and then it wouldn't unlock until I stopped and backed up a bit.

So REAR bumper on Raptor must be different to accommodate dual exhausts at the expense of side steps - but still no solution for hideous Front end. Of course I could be wrong...
The Raptor has no side steps in the bed for two reasons, one being the exhaust, the main one being that the bed is a different shape behind the wheel arch. It does not extend as low down the body compared to a normal Ranger. The steps therefore do not fit, as the space they take up doesn't exist.
