If there were such a thing as the ultimate sidekick for your trusty Ford, it’d be the ever-essential Genuine Ford bull bar. Throughout your off-road adventures, you’ll thank yourself that you’ve given your car the best possible standard of protection, from unexpected animal strikes through to providing you and your passengers premium safety. But what other advantages are there to equipping this must-have accessory?

Safety first

Ford Genuine bull bars are designed to fit perfectly and integrate with your Ranger’s safety systems. Designed to stop the full force of an animal smashing through your vehicle, bull bars work two ways. By reducing the amount of impact in the first place, you have more control over the safety of those in your vehicle. If the unfortunate event of striking an animal does happen to occur, bull bars can even prove to be lifesavers.

Modern designs for modern adventures

The genuine Ford bull bar is not just for show – it’s built tough. Designed exclusively for your Ranger, it is fully compatible with your truck’s lamps and sensors. It has also been crash tested to ensure compatibility with your truck’s safety system. To top it all off, your Ranger will maintain its 5 Star ANCAP Safety Rating. Offering superior protection even against tiny accidents, you'll find yourself counting your blessings should you encounter the unfortunate event of facing an animal, slipping off the beaten track, or even stones flicking up from the road.

For all off-roaders

Whether you're a pro or just starting out, off-roading means being as practical as possible. Genuine Ford bull bars give you space to tie must-have accessories to your car, including integrated lighting or adding winches.

Fitting your bull bar correctly

Like all other types of Genuine Ford accessories for your Ranger, it pays to invest in quality. Beyond that, it’s important to understand the legalities surrounding each one and how to fit it correctly.

  • Your chosen design should sit against the profile of the vehicle
  • It shouldn’t go past the width of your vehicle (not including the mirrors)
  • Brackets and other small pieces should never be attached to the bar itself
  • It should be certified by the manufacturer and should fall within the Australian Design Rules guidelines.
  • No sharp edges should be apparent
  • The overall design shouldn’t significantly increase the load of the front suspension
  • Any type of bar should not protrude more than is required from the actual front body of the vehicle

What's the difference between a bull bar and a nudge bar?

Nudge bars are an alternative option for those looking for something lighter or smaller in size. They are specifically designed to withstand minor damage like scratches or bumps, but they still carry the ability to add any accessories you need – like lighting.
