OK, I searched and havent found the answer. Anyways, new owner of a 2004 F150 Lariat and I am looking for a winch bumper. Found a guy with one on his 2003 Expedition HD who wants a factory bumper. Will they interchange?

 

All three AI's I checked say no.

Short answer: no, not as a bolt-on. Here’s why:

• Two different 2004 F-150s exist.
  • 2004 “New Body Style” (’04–’08) shares a platform era with the 2003–2006 Expedition, but the bumper mounts, width, and face contours are different, so they don’t interchange.
  • 2004 “Heritage” (carryover of the ’97–’03 F-150) matches the ’97–’02 Expedition, not the 2003. So that’s a mismatch too..
  
• What it would take:
  You’d be looking at fabrication—custom brackets (cut/weld/drill), possible trimming at the grille/ends, and verifying winch clearance. It’s not a straightforward swap.
  
• Better options:
  • If you’ve got NBS ’04–’08 F-150, look for winch bumpers made for ’04–’08 F-150.
  • If you’ve got Heritage, look for ’97–’03 F-150 / ’97–’02 Expedition bumpers.
  

 

if his is aftermarket, then reach out to mfg and ask about compatibility to your truck (and/or ask if it’s possible with a different mpg t/hardware kit).

if you just want ability to mount/use front which, you could add front hitch, then use/remove easily as needed.
