8 Reasons the Ranch Hand Grille Guard Is a Hot Seller

A Ranch Hand Legend grille is the icing on the cake when it comes to building the ultimate beast truck.

Not only does it complete the menacing, tough look of your truck, but it also provides outstanding protection to the fragile frontal components, like the headlights and collision sensors.

Unlike a regular front bumper, a Ranch Hand Legend grille guard is solely made of steel and mounted on the truck’s built-in bumper. It also has a steel mesh design that creates a solid barrier for extra protection.

A grille guard is a fantastic addition to off-roading truck owners and people who live in areas prone to wildlife.

You’ve probably had those scary moments when you’ve hit a moose or deer that suddenly jumped in front of the road. With a Ranch Hand grille guard, you should be able to keep your front end intact in these situations.

This is why more and more truck owners today are replacing their stock bumper with a grille guard. It’s the perfect armor for all your trucking needs.

Why You Need a Ranch Hand Legend Grille Guard for Your Truck

Whether you’re off-roading or city driving, a Ranch Hand grille is necessary when it comes to protecting your truck’s front. They’re built to fit different truck makes and models, styles, budgets, and functionality.

Trucks Last Longer With a Ranch Hand Grille

Let’s face it. Taking your truck off-road is always more fun than city driving. However, this fun comes with the risk of damage and huge repair costs, and here’s where Ranch Hand grilles save the day.

Once you decide to have some off-road fun with your truck, a strong Ranch Hand grille guard becomes a necessity.

Always go for a heavy-duty steel plate grille guard, with a powder-coated finish for durability. This is because powder-coating is:

  • Resistant to cracking 
  • Available in colors that suit any style
  • Scratch and corrosion resistant
  • Environmentally friendly

Overall, a durable Ranch Hand grille protects your truck from damage and also requires little maintenance over its lifespan.

Ranch Hand Grilles Are Stylish

Full-size, stylish GMC grille guard

Small cars have their sporty look, coupes have elegance, and trucks have their rugged, tough presence. Ranch Hand grille guards are a great way to customize the look of these trucks by giving them an even more rugged appearance.

Most truck manufacturers take into consideration the style of their Ranch Hand bumpers. They put effort into their overall design to ensure that their grille guard stands out by adding a flair to the truck’s flatbed.

Ranch Hand Grille Guards Have Winch Access

Front bumper with winch

Off-roading is fun... until you get stuck or a large object like a fallen tree blocks your path. Enter Ranch Hand grilles.

Since stock bumpers are too weak to support a winch, a Legend grille guard is a necessity for any truck owner. This is because most of them are equipped with a winch to help you in these sticky situations.

A winch is powerful enough to pull heavy obstacles off the road, tow out other stuck trucks, and lift your truck when stuck with ease. Generally, it’s a great recovery option for solo travels instead of having to call for help.

Grille Guards Are Perfect for All Terrains

Factory bumpers limit your capabilities and terrain driving options due to their fragile, minimalist design. A Ranch Hand truck grille, on the other hand, offers much more versatility.

They’re large and give you a presence on the road. When off-roading, they sit high to increase approach angles on hilly or rocky terrain. Additionally, they’re also able to camouflage with nature.

Generally speaking, Ranch Hand Legend grilles have a superior build that allows the truck owner to go anywhere without fear.

A Ranch Hand Grille Increases the Approach Angle

Testimonial from Storm N.

When going up hills or rock terrains, the front bottom part of the truck is prone to severe scratches and dents as you approach the hill.

A Ranch Hand grille guard is designed so that the front bottom part is as high as possible and at an angle to avoid scratching. If the approach angle is too tight and the bottom gets scratched anyway, the grille guard suffers the damage and not your truck.

Other than using a grille guard, approach angles can also be increased by:

  • Using bigger tires
  • Getting rid of bulky bumpers
  • Installing skid plates and rocker guards

You Can Mount Extra Accessories With a Legend Grille Guard

Grille guard with extra lights

A Ranch Hand grille guard has lots of room and offers the ability to mount aftermarket accessories such as additional lights and other accessories such as winches, light bars, and tow hooks.

They may also come with fuel jerry can holders and an extra tire mount. With these, you can safely go for remote off-road drives self-sufficiently without the fear of punctures or low fuel.

Ranch Hand Grilles Protect the Engine and Other Front Components

A lot of debris such as stones and branches may get into the engine and other delicate front components. Innocent-looking objects like tree branches can wreak havoc on a truck, especially when off-roading.

A Ranch Hand grille guard prevents this debris from getting in and damaging sensitive internal components. This in turn adds longevity to your vehicle.

FAQs

Can You Mount a Winch to a Ranch Hand Grille Guard?

A winch can be mounted to the plate on the brush guard, or you can replace the plate with a receiver hitch mount. This portable winch is then slid into the male receiver hitch on the truck.

What Is a Truck Approach Angle?

It’s the maximum angle of a hill/ramp onto which the truck can climb horizontally without interference to, or scratching the front bottom part of the truck.

Are Brush Guards Bad for Your Truck?

Brush guards may minimize damage, but the cost of repair might be high. It will cost as much to replace a cracked headlight as a smashed headlight. A collision can destroy a brush guard, which will render it useless.

Do Brush Guards Work Against Animals?

Brush guards are not made for deer and other animals. They’re made for brushes and small branches. It can, however, cause more damage if it hits obstacles that are bigger than what it's designed for.
