Default Which brush guard for 2015 F150 looks best

Hey guys,

I have a 2015 F150 Platinum and I'm looking to buy a brush guard. I'm looking the Westin HDX. Any suggestions? I'm also wondering if this will have any effect whatsoever on the adaptive cruise control. Any help or suggestions is appreciated!!

I personally like the look of the Ranch Hand Legend:

Will I lose vision on the front camera, or adaptive cruise control?

Sorry, I meant to include that in my first post. Yes, these were designed specifically to work with the front camera and all sensors, and they retain the factory tow hooks.

I was told awhile back (6months or so) by a Ranch Hand dealer and I may have seen it on their website that none of their grill guards are compatible with the Tech package . I have a 2016 King Ranch and what Ranch Hand had would interfere with the collision braking system and or adaptive cruise . The camera still works but you see the mesh on the screen. Hopefully they will or have by now something that will work.

Thanks, AutoAnything is telling me that they are built for the adaptive cruise and collision braking system and will not interfere. I'm still cautious, I'm going to do some more research before purchasing. This Brush Guard would set my truck off! I've added a 2 1/2" leveling kit with 285/75/20 BFG KO2s, Gatortrax bed cove, weather tech rear wheel guards and floor mates and more. This is something I've been wanting for a few months but I cant cancel out my favorite feature of the truck!! I'm hoping there is something out there on the market.

I vote Ranch hand! I had one on my 09 Silverado and loved it. I'm considering putting one on my F150.

I like the look of the ranch hand and the fact that they modified it for the front camera so you dont have to look through the mesh . I have two questions are they as heavy duty as westin and can they be painted to match truck . I have ruby red truck with chrome package and not sure how the black would look. If anyone has pictures of new style on a truck thats not black would appreciate it .

It looks nice, but those bolts that attach the bar to the frame plates are NOISY!!
