Yep, I really like it. It's my 1st diesel and my 1st dually. Our 40 ft Grand Design is being built this week and we should pick it up next Thursday or Friday. We are looking forward to our first trip with both after Christmas. I would like to have had the 350 SRW, but pin weights wouldn't allow for it. Plus if we decide to go with a heavier 5th wheel in a few yrs, I will have the truck for it. Your truck is a sweet set up.

I moved to a 27.5 Jayco Eagle 5th wheel at 8100 lbs with a pin weight of about 1400 or so, just did not need that dually, but certainly miss it and for '17 its a great looking rig...good on ya
Is Ranch hand a TX thing or will they build and send...I hate the thought of hittin a deer with this truck
You should be able to find one in Florida I would think. If you go on their website I believe they have a dealer locater. I'm in Nebraska, and have one (full bumper replacement) on my F-150.
The guard looks great Don! My F-150 has a ranch hand full bumper replacement, and the black paint was severely chipped on it, so I had it color matched. I am sure yours would handle a deer great.

Ranch Hand and Frontier, Shiner and Boerne Tx respectively are available I think nationwide. I know the Frontier guy, he lives here in town and is a great guy, but they have not modified their product for the front camera yet.

A bolt on is worthless, imo.
I like the OEM front bumper on the '17 KR, I have done F/R full bumper replacements on my last 3 trucks and did so because the OEM front chrome was just another bumper IMO.
These are not decorative items they are purpose built and for a fact the Ranch Hand (its what I have always owned) is some STOUT stuff. Not sure how many up in Arlington run them, but down here in the Hill Country with all the ranches and a stagger amount of deer its a normal thing to have.
I feel very confident that it will do as intended to protect my truck from a deer in the headlights...
I was talking to a guy at a body shop here the other day and he told me in the last month there have been 17 deer hits. Probably not as big here, but still plentiful.
