Great product, much better than I originally thought it to be. Install was pretty straight forward with some minor modifications to plastics in order to get a sleek install. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a grille guard. Shipping was very prompt and arrived ahead of the original delivery date.

Arrived on time and in perfect condition. Actually did the installation by myself. Got lucky on this one! As many have said, a good set of flexible wrenches and an air ratchet would be extremely helpful, as you are limited for ratcheting space with a standard ratchet. Maybe it's just my imagination, but my truck even feels more solid when driving with this installed! I will definitely be ordering from etrailer again in the near future!

It's a hunk of powder coated steel so there is not much to say. The bolts appeared hardened and combined with a good winch this thing suffered no permanent deformation after pulling a 7000lb truck out of mud, on slopes, at least six times.

2017 Ford Explorer Grille Guards Questions

Does Aries Grille Guard for 2017 Ford Explorer Have Holes for Light Bar
Hey Thomas, thanks for your order! The Aries Grille Guard # AA3068 does have holes for lights. Check out the attached picture. If you need anything else don't hesitate to reach out in the comments below. Updated: Aries states that this does have mounting holes for lights but upon receiving the grille guard Thomas found this is not the case. Drilling will be required to mount lights.

Will Aries Grille Guard Interfere with Front Parking Sensors on a 2017 Ford Explorer
Aries grille guard # AA3068 will likely interfere with any forward facing sensors on your 2017 Ford Explorer unless those sensors can be relocated. The headlight protection can be removed but at that point you basically have a bull bar so you might as well go with # 31-5570. This also will interfere with forward facing sensors and may also interfere with front parking sensors.

Bull Bar Fits for 2017 Ford Explorer Limited with Front Parking Sensors and Camera
For your 2017 Ford Explorer Limited we do have one bull bar option that is a confirmed fit since you do NOT have the Adaptive Cruise Control or Collision Warning Systems on the vehicle. Westin offers their polished stainless steel E-Series Bull Bar # 31-5570 which offers no-drill installation. With it you can use License Plate Relocation kit # 32-0055. This will likely block the parking sensors but will otherwise fit well on the Explorer.

Does the Aries Grille Guard Interfere with Active Shutters on the 2017 Ford Explorer
The Aries grille guard # AA3068 mounts to the frame on your 2017 Ford Explorer. The tubing is not so large as to restrict airflow to the active shutters on the vehicle. There is some trimming that needs to be done. I will email you the instructions for greater detail but it states the following: Hold the Frame Bracket in the approximate position over the Bolt and Nut Plates. Mark the outline of the Bracket onto the mounting tab on the plastic air inlet, (scoop), (Figure 7)....
