Is there a Brush Guard that is Modified to Not Block My Parking Sensors on My 2017 GMC Sierra 2500?

Question:

I have been looking for a brush guard for my truck. Being told there is not one made that will fit my truck without setting off the sensors in the front. It’s a 2017 GMC 2500 DENALI. Is this true ? Not one manufacturer make a modified brush guard ?? Thanks.

Hello Chad,

They don’t currently offer a modified brush guard that accounts for the sensors, but there is a sensor relocation kit available.

The Westin HDX Grille Guard with Punch Plate – Polished Stainless Steel # 57-3790 is a great fit for your 2017 GMC Sierra 2500 Denali. To retain the functionality of your parking sensors, you’ll want to pair it with the Parking Sensor Relocation Kit for Westin Sportsman Grille Guard # 40-0005S, or if you’re going for a stainless finish, # 45-0000S. I’ve attached an image showing an installed example.

Aftermarket manufacturers would have to constantly redesign their products to keep up with all the new sensors added to vehicles each year, it’s honestly impressive we ever drove or parked without them!

Are you planning to do any overlanding or trail driving? Or do you regularly drive in areas with deer, wildlife... maybe even kangaroos? (Okay, maybe not kangaroos, especially since we don’t ship to Australia).

Hey Chad, Did you get a chance to check out the sensor relocation kit for your truck's brush guard? I'm curious if it worked out for you. Let me know because your experience could really help others in a similar situation!

@KateF I am currently looking for a sensor friendly solution for my 2020 Chevy 2500 for a SS brushguard that won't mess with my sensors. This comment included a sensor relocation kit which may be the route to go for me.

@PerryS Hello Perry, sorry for the delay but I needed to reach out to Westin on this one. There is not a relocation kit for the 2020 Chevy 2500, instead you will want the Westin HDX Grille Guard with Punch Plate, part # W98RV, is designed so you can move your factory sensors right into the grille guard’s support tubes, so you keep all of your functionality. It also includes the extension cables you’ll need, so there’s no need to buy anything extra. This kit comes with custom-fit brackets and all the necessary hardware for installation, making it a complete package right out of the box.

@KateF Thanks, Kate for the follow up. I am, however, looking for a stainless steel brush-guard option though for my blue truck with silver add-ons.
