2004 – 2005 FORD F150 PICKUP Front Bumper Lower Bar Painted Rectangular

2004-2005 Ford F-150 Front Bumper Lower Bar Painted Rectangular OEM | McClain Auto Part

Product Overview

This is a genuine OEM painted rectangular front bumper lower bar for the 2004 to 2005 Ford F-150. It covers the eleventh-generation F-150 platform that launched for the 2004 model year, representing a significant redesign from the prior generation and introducing the distinctive front-end architecture that carried through 2005 before updates in subsequent years.

The rectangular lower bar configuration on this generation F-150 is a trim-specific and style-specific component. The rectangular bar profile distinguishes it from round bar or step bar alternatives that appeared on other trim configurations of the same platform. Matching the correct lower bar style to your truck’s original configuration is important for maintaining factory front-end appearance and correct fitment against the surrounding fascia components.

This unit ships in a painted configuration. The paint finish present on this bumper lower bar reflects the donor vehicle’s factory color. Confirm the color code against your truck’s door jamb sticker before ordering to verify the color match. Additional photos of the painted surface condition are available on request before you commit to an order.

Product Specifications

The 2004-2005 F-150 Platform

The 2004 model year introduced the eleventh-generation Ford F-150, one of the most significant redesigns in F-150 history at that time. The new platform brought a completely new exterior design, revised frame architecture, and a distinct front-end appearance that broke significantly from the prior tenth-generation truck.

The 2004 and 2005 model years share the same front bumper lower bar architecture before subsequent trim and equipment updates affected bumper configurations in later years of this generation. Consequently, parts sourced from the correct 2004 to 2005 year range interchange correctly within this specific model year window.

This generation F-150 is entirely distinct from the 2009 and newer platform that followed the 2006 to 2008 transitional years. Front bumper components from earlier or later generation trucks are not interchangeable with this 2004 to 2005 application.

Rectangular Bar Profile

The rectangular bar profile on this lower bar is a specific configuration choice that appeared on certain trim levels and option packages of the 2004 to 2005 F-150. It differs dimensionally and in cross-section geometry from round tube bar configurations that appeared on other trim levels of the same platform.

Installing the correct bar profile matters for two reasons. First, the mounting geometry and bracket attachment positions can vary between rectangular and round bar configurations on this platform. Second, the visual profile of the lower bar against the front fascia reflects the original trim-specific design intent. Using a round bar on a truck that originally carried a rectangular bar consequently produces a visible appearance discrepancy that departs from factory configuration.

Provide your VIN before ordering and we confirm whether the rectangular bar profile is the correct configuration for your specific 2004 to 2005 F-150 before anything ships.

OEM Fitment Advantages

This OEM unit came off a 2004 to 2005 F-150 built to the same factory specifications. The mounting tab positions, bracket attachment geometry, and rectangular bar profile reflect Ford’s original engineering for this specific configuration on this platform. It installs at the factory mounting locations without modification and aligns correctly with the surrounding front fascia, valance panel, and grille surround.

Aftermarket lower bars for this generation F-150 are increasingly difficult to find in correct trim-specific configurations as the platform ages. Sourcing an OEM unit from a verified donor vehicle consequently provides the most reliable factory-correct fit for a platform where aftermarket alternatives may not precisely replicate the original mounting geometry and profile dimensions.

Paint Condition

This lower bar ships in a painted configuration. The factory paint finish from the donor vehicle is present on this unit. Paint condition on a 2004 to 2005 vintage part reflects the donor vehicle’s age, climate history, and maintenance, and consequently carries more age-related wear considerations than a part from a more recent donor vehicle.

We document paint condition before listing and before shipping. Contact us for detailed close-up photos of the full painted surface before purchasing. We provide images of any notable chips, scratches, fading, or areas of paint wear so you can evaluate the finish condition against your needs before ordering.

If the color code does not match your truck or the paint condition requires a respray, this lower bar can alternatively be used as a paint-to-match replacement after stripping and refinishing to your factory color. Provide your truck’s color code and discuss your application with us before ordering if you have specific paint condition requirements.

The rectangular bar carries a flat rectangular cross-section profile. The round bar carries a tubular round cross-section profile.
