I was at the dealership yesterday and the salesman told me the factory brush guard was not functional, it was purely cosmetic. What did he mean by that?? It sure seems sturdy enough to push brush out of the way. He was pointing to a different one that was "functional" for $1500. I couldn't tell who made it, but it had vinyl pads on the upright pieces, just like
this one for $340. Is my BS meter right to be pegged, or is their really a big difference between these things?
