Full Front‑End Protection. Modular Strength. Trail‑Ready Defense.

When standard protection isn’t enough.

The ARMORDILLO® AR Series Pre‑Runner Grille Guard is a heavy‑duty modular front‑end protection system designed to defend your bumper, grille, headlights, and upper fascia from minor collisions, brush, rocks, and unexpected road hazards.

Constructed from structural A36 steel and finished in a corrosion‑resistant matte black powder coat, the AR Series delivers commanding pre‑runner styling with expanded front coverage.

Built to defend. Designed to dominate.

Fitment:

  • For 2021-2023 Ford F150

Fitment Notes:

  • Will Not Fit Diesel / Raptor / Lightning Models

Maximum Coverage. Maximum Confidence.

Unlike traditional bull bars, the AR Pre‑Runner Guard provides extended protection across:

  • Front bumper
  • Center grille
  • Headlight areas
  • Upper fascia

Its 3.5" ID outer tubes shield the headlight zones, while reinforced 1.5" diameter cross tubing strengthens grille protection across the full width of the front end.

This is protection that goes beyond the basics.


Modular & Maintenance‑Friendly Design

Protection should never mean permanent obstruction.

The AR Series features a laser‑designed modular system with removable headlight guard sections, allowing convenient access for:

  • Headlight replacement
  • Bulb changes
  • Troubleshooting
  • Cleaning and routine maintenance

Strength when you need it. Access when you want it.

David G. ★★★★★

Bolted this onto my 2022 F-150 last weekend and the truck feels way more planted on rough trails. The mounting points line up perfectly with the frame, zero drilling needed.

Emma ★★★★★

The modular design made installation straightforward, and the heavy-duty steel feels like it could stop a small tree. Took it on a trail last weekend and the full front-end protection gave me real peace of mind.

James ★★★★★

The mounting brackets feel incredibly solid—way beefier than the stock bumper I took off. I took it on a rough trail last weekend and the grille guard didn’t budge even after some hard hits.
