2020 Dodge Ram 1500 Front End & Bumper Grille Guards & Bull Bars

Quick Install, Long-Lasting Truck Bumper Protection

Front-end guards are a smart upgrade for drivers who want to enhance both the look and durability of their truck or SUV. Whether you choose a minimalist bull bar or a full grille guard, these accessories instantly add a rugged, aggressive appearance to your vehicle.

But it's not just about looks—front-end guards also serve an important protective function. Built from durable, heavy-duty materials like powder-coated steel or aluminum, they help shield vital components such as your headlights, radiator, and fluid coolers from road debris, brush, and minor impacts.

At RealTruck, we carry a wide selection of high-quality front-end guards that combine strength, style, and value. Most are designed for easy, bolt-on installation so that you can upgrade your ride without extensive modifications.

Whether you're tackling off-road trails or want a tougher look for your daily driver, a front-end guard is a practical, stylish investment. Browse our selection to find the perfect fit for your vehicle.

Which Style of Truck Grille or Bumper Protection is Right for You?

Front-end guards come in several configurations, offering different aesthetics, features, and levels of protection.

Grille Guards

Also referred to as brush guards, grille guards feature comprehensive front-end protection, with most including wrap-around headlight tubes. Sturdy alloy constructions and frame-mounted designs make impact protection a top priority for grille guards. Depending on the brand and model, grille guards may also include mesh grille protectors, winch plates, and light mounts. 

Standout Features:

• AKA brush guards

• Ideal for avid off-roaders

• Generally most expensive

• Full coverage, including bumper, headlights, and grille

• May include a perforated screen covering the grille

• Can work with a winch

Bull Bars

Bull bars offer moderate front-end protection and sleek styling. Most feature a single central hoop covering the front-end's lower, center-most section. Depending on the brand and model, bull bars may also include an integrated skid plate for additional protection. 

Standout Features:

• Thorough front-end protection

• Ideal for off-roaders who don't want a full grille guard look

• Protection without excessive weight

Bumper Guards

Unlike the other front-end guards on the list, bumper guards protect only the front or rear bumper rather than the grille, headlights, or other components. These accessories, typically fashioned from alloy tubes, provide moderate protection against minor bumps and bruises, like hit-and-runs and parallel-parking-related scuffs. Rear bumper guards are also available, protecting the rear bumper against impacts and abrasions.  

Standout Features: 

• Minimal coverage

• Generally least expensive

• Only covers the front or rear bumper

• Best for everyday protection

FAQs About Our Truck, Jeep & SUV Grille Guards & Bull Bars

Q: Bull bar vs grille guard? What's the difference?

A: Bull bars and grille guards are two similar products with different aesthetics and characteristics. While both are styles of front-end guard, bull bars offer moderate protection that covers only the lower, center-most section of the front end, while grille guards provide comprehensive protection to the entire front end.

Q: What are the best brands of grille guards and bull bars?

A: At RealTruck, we only carry high-quality grille guards and bull bars that are built to last. However, some of our most popular brands include Black Horse, Ranch Hand, and Go Rhino. 

Q: How do bull bars work?

A: Bull bars attach to your vehicle's front end, typically the frame, to provide additional front-end impact protection and support. The robust alloy construction serves as a layer of protection between your vehicle's bumper and an object it's impacting, protecting the front end against dents, dings, scuffs, or more serious damage.
