It's alright but I prefer your truck without it.

Yes, your bumper is chrome. So the chrome bull bar will look nice on that front end.

Never been a fan of the bigger tube bull bars on Rangers... they look too big for the truck IMO. That's why I went with a safari bar - I think it looks more proportional!

^^^Get a safari bar like Adams, but chrome. Would look great. The bull bar looks too bulky.

Eh...unless you plan on lifting your truck...I say go without it.

Its weird, I used to be a big fan of bull/safari bars....but lately I have not liked them. They fit OK on lifted trucks, not stock height trucks.
