Would Brush Guard affect sensors?

[charmincarman]

Hello all,

I purchased my new F150 thanks to totaling my 2013 on a mule deer. Just curious if all of the fancy new sensors (I have the active assist co pilot) would be affected by a brush guard? Would much rather replace the brush guard than a truck if it happens again...

I have looked and looked, mostly at Ranch Hand. My F150 Will not handle a grill guard with the sensors. My info is about a month old so “maybe” they have done a redesign. I like grill guards!

That’s what I was afraid of hearing. Thinking it may be a while before they make a sensor friendly version

Do you already own this one or looking at it? Curious how the front-end weight would affect the active assist/etc. I know friends always put leveling kits on when adding grill guards, but I tow too and don't want the awkward squat. Appreciate the dialogue for probably dumb questions, but I did do some searching and I think the truck is new enough not many have tried.

No I don’t own this one yet. I haven’t got my truck and still need to find somewhere in Canada that sells this grille guard.

I’m also looking for someone who has installed this ranch hand ?

My local Line-X dealer and two other accessory places said the Ranch Hand grill guard with the cutout for the camera does not fit the 2021. Ford changed the mounting location and either did not tell the manufacturers or they did not get the word. Ranch Hand has retooled for the 2021 and expects shipments November or December 2021.

Yeh was looking into this too. I think I saw some with a sensor repositioning bracket for the 21. Maybe Stage3 or American trucks... I think its the 2 things behind the black covers on either side of plate, and the round ones on bumper too. I think there's some posts of folks who have figured it out. May need to wait like you said. Like the change to the rear leaf u bolts, Fox Icons next gen release dates, etc etc,

Did you manage to find anywhere in Canada selling ranch hand grills for the 2021?

I can't find anywhere in Canada that sells really any ranch hand grills.
