Addictive Desert Designs HoneyBadger Rear Bumper for Ford F-150 Raptor

The Addictive Desert Designs HoneyBadger Rear Bumper is a plate-steel, bolt-on replacement rear bumper built for the 2021-2026 Ford F-150 Raptor, with Raptor R compatibility covering the 2021-2023 model years. Constructed in a modern box design and finished in hammer black powder coat, the HoneyBadger is shaped to follow the Raptor's dovetail rear body lines and retains every factory function the stock bumper provides: backup sensors, tow hooks, license plate lights, and tow wiring plug.

Built to the Raptor's Body, Not Around It

The HoneyBadger's profile is engineered to track the Raptor's distinctive dovetail rear body style closely, so the fitment reads as intentional rather than bolted-on. The factory dual exhaust exits and OEM tow hooks sit comfortably below the bumper without modification, meaning the truck's towing and exhaust geometry are unchanged after installation. For a truck that already draws attention, a rear bumper that fits the lines tightly matters as much as the protection it adds.

OEM Functionality, Fully Retained

Sensor cutouts are machined into the bumper so the factory parking and backup warning system operates without recalibration or delete. The OEM license plate lights, tow hooks, and tow wiring plug or harness all mount in their original positions. A factory or aftermarket trailer wiring harness can be routed to the bottom of the bumper near the hitch receiver location. Retaining these systems means the HoneyBadger installs as a direct replacement rather than a trade-off between protection and daily usability.

Lighting Mounts and Recovery Points Built In

Each end of the bumper carries a mount sized for a 10-inch LED light bar, recessed behind a satin black aluminum accent panel with a badger claw cutout. Two additional cube light mounts are positioned on either side of the bumper's center section for supplemental lighting. Two 1-inch clevis mounts accept soft shackles and provide dedicated recovery attachment points. LED light bars, cube lights, and shackles are not included; the bumper provides the mounting positions for each.

Who This Is For and Isn't

The HoneyBadger Rear Bumper suits 2021-2023 Ford F-150 Raptor and Raptor R owners, and 2024-2026 Ford F-150 Raptor owners, who want a steel replacement bumper that adds recovery points and lighting mount positions without giving up any factory sensor, lighting, or towing functionality.

The HoneyBadger Rear Bumper does not fit the 2024-2026 Ford F-150 Raptor R. LED light bars, cube lights, soft shackles, and trailer wiring harnesses are not included and must be sourced separately.

Common Questions

Does this bumper work with the factory backup sensors on the 2021-2026 Ford F-150 Raptor?

Yes. The HoneyBadger Rear Bumper includes machined sensor cutouts that allow the factory parking and backup warning sensors to operate without modification or recalibration. All OEM sensor functionality is retained after installation.

Are LED light bars or cube lights included with the bumper?

No. The HoneyBadger Rear Bumper fits the 2021-2023 Ford F-150 Raptor and Raptor R, and the 2024-2026 Ford F-150 Raptor. The 2024-2026 Raptor R is not a confirmed fitment for this bumper.

What factory features does the HoneyBadger Rear Bumper retain?

What are the clevis mounts used for, and what size shackle do they accept?

The HoneyBadger Rear Bumper includes two reinforced 1-inch clevis mounts, one on each side of the bumper, designed to accept soft shackles for vehicle recovery. Soft shackles are not included with the bumper.
