Why Your Ford® Truck Needs a Custom Aluminum Bumper
Being able to off-road with your truck is probably one of the more convenient ways to reach remote destinations and it makes for a thrilling ride. There’s no getting out of the truck to prepare another vehicle and no additional towing—you can hit the dirt once you reach your destination. But while the tires on your Ford® truck might be up for the challenge, there might be other parts that need to be upgraded, like your bumper.
Getting a custom aluminum bumper for your Ford truck can save you some serious hassle, so contact Truck Defender Bumpers, located in Vale, South Dakota, and start the process for getting one of your own. We ship our parts all across North America, so call us today!
Vehicle Protection
The biggest reason to upgrade is the added protection that comes with a custom aluminum bumper. Stock bumpers are designed to fold and crumple when you hit something. This allows your truck to take the brunt of the impact in the event of a major accident, but it can also make the stock bumper weak. If you’re going to constantly be bumping into things, sticking with the parts that came with the truck is a good way to accumulate lots of dents over a short period of time. Upgrade to an aluminum bumper and you’ll find the front of your truck will be able to handle those little bumps and scratches more efficiently.
Long-Term Savings
Think about how much money you’d have to spend if you were constantly having to repair or even replace the bumper. One time is bad enough, but if you’re going into the shop regularly, you’ll start to blow through your savings on something you shouldn’t have to even think about, let alone address constantly. A custom aluminum bumper might be more expensive than the stock one, but if you’re putting your truck through the ringer, then it’ll be worth it in the long run.
Reinforcement
Let’s face it: sometimes off-roading means getting stuck in the mud, sand, or other terrain. It happens, even to the best of us. Sometimes it’ll be you and sometimes it’ll be a buddy. In those cases, the best tool to have available is a winch. And we know that when push comes to shove, a stock bumper has bigger chance of buckling under the pressure (or ripping off from your truck). A custom bumper will give you the reinforcement you need to get the job done. This is true both for recreational off-roading and more labor-intensive work.
More Ground Clearance
Take a look at your Ford truck right now. Specifically, we want you to look at the bottom. You’ll probably notice the front part of the truck cuts lower than the rest of the frame. Stock bumpers decrease overall ground clearance by design. While there are some people who need this, you don’t. Our custom bumpers don’t have the same problem. You’ll get the full ground clearance allotted to you by the pickup. And with the rocky terrain you’ll hit, you’ll probably need all the help you can get.
Easier To Drive
When you don’t have your bumper running into everything that even kind of sticks up, you’ll probably find it’s easier to drive your pickup. Custom bumpers are designed to reduce the amount of bulk that comes with the part while still providing all the protection you need when you’re behind the wheel.
All these reasons and more are some of our favorites for getting your own custom aluminum Ford truck bumper. Which is probably why you’re ready to contact Truck Defender Bumpers to get your upgrade soon. We proudly serve all of North America, so let us know how we can improve your Ford truck!
