I can confirm that my ranch hand brush guard allows my adaptive cruise, front camera systems to work properly. Just make sure you select the appropriate model from the website

I think it’s worth keeping in mind that the truck was designed without any additional protection on the front. I absolute believe in the addition of a grille guard or a metal bumper (and have them myself) but it is important to keep in mind that they do change the way the way the body bends/crumbles in a bad (God forbid) accident. The front guards are great protection for bumping gates, small fender benders, smaller animals, and things like that. Someone mentioned up above that the brackets for one brand were twice as thick as another. Sounds great in theory but is that really better in a really bad collision? I’m not an engineer so I’ll leave it at that. Just something to think about when shopping

As others have said, if you truly want deer protection, your best bet would be to go with a full bumper replacement with grille protection as well.
We carry a few different brands and would be happy to go over options with you. If you're dead set on a grille guard, we can go over those with you as well.

New bumper
Have been a fan of Go Industries grill guards, bu couldn’t find one for my new F450, so went the custom route. Two popular builders here in Montana, ordered this through my dealer, fully compatible with camera and adaptive cruise, and really came out nice, but not cheap. I average at least one deer a year between all my vehicles.

I bought it through my dealer, and they installed it, but somewhere around $3K. I wanted the Rigid fog lights, extra tabs for a future light bar, and the ruby red powder coat. The manufacturer is CK Fab in Laurel, MT.....website is www.ckfabbumpers.com

That said, we carry a wide array of parts for the Super Duty in addition to the Raptor and F-150. Happy to work with you or anyone else on your truck.
Thank you,
Nick
