What This Piece Actually Is
This is the center air dam that mounts below the steel or chrome bumper on VNL models, 2018 up through the current 2025 build. It's not cosmetic trim — it directs airflow up into the radiator and charge air cooler. Trucks running without one, or with a cracked one, tend to run warmer at low speeds and in stop-and-go, especially in summer.
Volvo redesigned the VNL front end a few times in this range, so 'VNL 2018-2025' isn't automatically one-size-fits-all across every trim and bumper style. There's a chrome bumper version and a steel bumper version, and the mounting tabs and cutout shape can differ between them.
Bottom line — before you order, pull the number off the old deflector or check the VIN. If the old part is broken beyond reading a number, a shop with VIN lookup access (us included) can usually confirm the correct application in a couple minutes.
Why These Cross Numbers Match Up
82750265 is the Volvo number. VL-1302, 564.96079, and TX-VNL-083 are the same physical part built by other manufacturers to fit the same bumper opening and mounting points. They're not knockoffs of a knockoff — they're independently manufactured to match Volvo's mounting hole pattern, tab spacing, and the curve profile that seals against the bumper and radiator core support.
Where guys get burned on air deflectors isn't the part number, it's assuming 'VNL' covers everything. Watch for differences between chrome and steel bumper trucks, and check whether your truck has the center deflector only or a three-piece deflector setup (center plus two side pieces). Ordering just the center piece when your truck came with a three-piece system will leave gaps that let air escape around the sides.
If you're not sure which setup you have, look at what's currently bolted up, or bolted where it should be. Missing side pieces from a three-piece system is common — previous owner or shop may have never replaced them after a road hit.
Ordering Off This Number
We keep 82750265 and its cross-numbers in stock here in Tacoma, so if you're local you can grab it same day instead of waiting on freight. If you're not local, it ships nationwide and usually moves fast since it's not an oversized item.
At $279 it's not a cheap piece of plastic, but factor in what it's protecting — a cracked or missing deflector left alone long enough tends to lead to overheating complaints that cost a lot more than the part itself, especially in stop-and-go city routes or grade work.
Standard 6+ month warranty applies. If it doesn't bolt up clean to your mounting points, send it back before you force anything — cracked tabs on install aren't a warranty claim, they're a return-before-you-break-it situation.

Frequently asked questions
Does 82750265 fit my 2019 VNL 300?
Likely, but confirm first. The VNL 300 and VNL 860 share a lot of front-end parts in this generation, but bumper style (chrome vs steel) and whether you've got a single or three-piece deflector setup can change things. Check the number stamped on your old part or give us the VIN and we'll verify before you order.
Is 564.96079 the same as the Volvo 82750265?
Same part, different manufacturer stamp. 564.96079 crosses directly to 82750265 — same mounting pattern, same fit for the center deflector position. We stock both under the same listing since they're interchangeable.
My truck has three air deflector pieces, will this number cover all of them?
No — 82750265 is the center piece only. If your VNL has a three-piece system (center plus left and right side deflectors), you'll need to order those separately. Check what's currently on the truck or missing before ordering just this one.
