Default Westin HDX Grille Guard

The only Grille Guard I like of course won't work on my Platinum because of the ADD module location. I was at the Bloomsburg 4 wheel drive jamboree over the weekend and spoke with a Westin rep, he said there is a fix in the pipeline that should be out in about 30 days. He is not sure if it is a relocation bracket or a new design for the guard itself. Just thought I would pass this along. I will be waiting for it.

Did you ever get any more info on this or end up getting one? I really like the stainless HDX. I don't have the ADC but am wondering about how bad it affects the front camera view. I saw in another post the Ranch Hand restricts the view but not enough to make it unusable. Anyone else have the HDX that can comment on it? Thanks in advance

I did end up getting the HDX and it does not affect the ACC. As far as the front cam...obviously it sees the screen but still works.

Yes I do have parking assist, but I have never used it yet.
Also, the lane keeping system will work with this guard.

That looks awesome! I like it much better than the ranch hand grill guard. Glad to hear the lane keeping still works too. Would you be able to post a couple pics of the front view camera from inside the truck like this guy did with his ranch hand? (About halfway down the thread) https://www.f150forum.com/f118/push-...e1447806030466
Would be much appreciated. Thanks

Yea sure, but it might be a few days before I can get to it. On the road right now. But I will tell you, it looks similar to those pics.

Good deal. No rush on the pics. Be safe. Thanks.
