2024 Badlands Grille Upgrade

I'm also planning to sell the original badlands grille if anyone is interested. Once the raptor grille arrives.....

If I were a betting man, I would guess the grille itself will swap. And while I have not researched that particular swap, I can tell you from doing a badlands to heritage swap, You may need to replace defectors or brackets behind the grille for optimal air flow and support.

A ford parts person can show you an exploded view an you can compare. Because the Raptor has a different engine option, I may have different cooling needs than a Badlands.

These things are minimal and yet if Ford decided to manufacture a different part, there is a reason. I am sure if all were interchangeable, they wouldn't make a different part just cuz.

Thanks for the feedback Lots O Fords. I contacted a Ford parts guy today and he had no idea if it would fit. Pretty disappointing to hear that from a dealer.

I did see a picture of a badlands with a raptor grille and it looked like there was a gap between the grille and the hood. Not sure if that was the angle or not.

The only thing I could find on YouTube was aftermarket grilles that didn't look as good.

You may be the first to make that swap

I have a new 2024 Bronco Badlands arriving soon. I want to upgrade the grille to an OEM Raptor grille. Does anyone know if this grille will fit and is it a simple swap or are modifications like cutting are necessary?

This morning I saw a 2 door with a raptor grille on it. The fit looked correct. Because we were doing 70 mph, I did not get a chance to ask if it was oem or aftermarket.... lol

So it looks doable and cool
