I've seen them Ranch hand bumpers around and they are pure beef! But I think you have to have a 3/4 ton or better just to hold the thing up.

Never had a problem with cows or horses but I did hit a deer last year in my old 1990 f-150 at about 40mph and all it did was break out my grille and that was with no grille guard that my friends is where the

Just get a RanchHand. The other grill gaurds (westin, manik, etc) will not help much, mainly cause more damage due to it actually hitting the hood, fenders, etc. I have seen a few trucks be smashed with the lighter gaurds on them. But on another note, one of my customers has hit 7 deer with his truck in 5 years with a RanchHand with NO damage at all. The company he works for has 10 Superduties and 3 Excursions and everyone one of them have RanchHands on them. It would pay for itself!!
