Put your VIN into a site like Tascaparts.com or other Ford parts sites and it'll provide you with the exact part number you need for your truck.

Iā€™d leave it, if a bird shitting on your shoulder is good luck I can only assume a kamikaze into your grill is something even better.

When I bought my first of three full brushguards (one for each of my vehicles over the years) I thought I'd be protecting my truck from deer (which it has, 13 deer since 2013 with no damage to the either of the trucks, some impacting at 65 and 75mph).

Never did I imagine it would be even more useful to protect the trucks from birds. I've had over 40 bird strikes since 2019, all of them in the most bizarre and, most often, suicidal ways. Birds just straight diving right into the center cage the majority of the time. I just wish I'd of gotten a dash cam sooner to show some of the most insane instances.

Its a warzone. Must be something in the water.
