Flatline Van Co Rear Bumper for Ford Transit

The Flatline Van Co Transit Van Rear Bumper replaces the factory plastic bumper on 2020+ Ford Transit 150/250/350 vans (130", 148", and 148" EXT wheelbases, Mid and High Roof) with a low-profile aluminum-and-steel unit that retains all factory parking and blind spot monitoring sensors, integrates recovery points, and accepts Baja Designs S2 SAE or S2 Sport LED light pods. The 2023–2024 Transit Trail in 148" and 148" EXT wheelbases (Mid and High Roof) is also supported.

Sensor Compatibility Without Compromise

Replacing a factory bumper on a modern Transit risks disabling the parking sensors and blind spot monitoring system that drivers rely on daily. The Transit Van Rear Bumper addresses this directly: ABS parking sensor bezels are included for a snap-in transfer of factory sensors and wiring, and the blind spot monitoring sensors are built into the bumper structure itself. The result is a full aftermarket replacement that keeps every OEM safety and driver-assist feature operational.

Low-Profile Design That Works With the Van

The bumper's profile follows the Transit's body lines rather than adding bulk, which preserves the van's departure angle and ground clearance, a consideration when loading at a curb, navigating a steep driveway, or exiting a trail. The rear doors open and function normally with the bumper installed. The integrated non-slip dimpled surface provides grip when stepping up to access roof gear in wet, muddy, or icy conditions, and the surface drains freely rather than pooling water.

Steel Structure, Aluminum Skin, UV-Rated Finish

A full steel substructure and 5mm stainless steel mounting brackets form the load-bearing core, while a 3mm aluminum skin keeps overall weight to 81 lbs. Grade 8 zinc yellow-chromate hardware is included for the mount. The UV-rated black powder coat finish is formulated to resist fading over time, unlike the factory plastic bumper it replaces. Integrated recovery points accept 3/4" D-rings with a 7/8" pin. Installation requires minor cutting into the factory plastic bumper and can be completed with basic hand tools.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

The Transit Van Rear Bumper suits 2020–present Ford Transit 150, 250, and 350 owners (Mid and High Roof, 130", 148", and 148" EXT wheelbases) and 2023–2024 Transit Trail owners who want a low-profile steel-and-aluminum replacement that retains all factory sensors, adds integrated recovery points, and accepts auxiliary lighting, whether the van is used for overlanding, extended travel, or daily work.

This bumper does not fit Ford Transit vans built before 2020, Low Roof Transit variants, or any non-Transit van platform. Baja Designs S2 SAE and S2 Sport LED light pods are not included and must be purchased separately. The installation requires minor cutting of the factory plastic bumper.

Common Questions

Will this bumper work with my Transit's factory parking sensors and blind spot monitoring?

The Transit Van Rear Bumper is designed to retain all factory sensors. ABS parking sensor bezels are included for a snap-in transfer of the factory sensors and wiring, and the blind spot monitoring sensors are integrated directly into the bumper structure, so both systems remain fully functional after installation.

Installing the Transit Van Rear Bumper requires minor cutting into the factory plastic bumper. Beyond that, the installation can be completed with basic hand tools. Grade 8 zinc yellow-chromate mounting hardware is included. An installation guide is available from Flatline Van Co.

Does this bumper work if my Transit has a factory hitch?

The Transit Van Rear Bumper fits vans with or without a factory hitch. No modification to the hitch is required for the bumper to fit and function correctly.

What lighting can I add to this bumper, and are lights included?

The bumper has cutouts sized for Baja Designs S2 SAE or S2 Sport LED light pods, along with a built-in wiring channel for clean routing. Light pods are not included and are sold separately. Cover plates are included so the bumper can be run without lighting installed.

What are the recovery point specs on this bumper?

The Transit Van Rear Bumper includes integrated recovery points sized for 3/4" D-rings with a 7/8" pin. D-rings are not included and must be sourced separately.
