Central Florida has a greater percentage of rednecks in F250s with brush guards than anywhere I've ever been.
Of course none of them actually take their trucks off-road, they just spend thousands of dollars to look like they do. Mostly they just go blasting around my Insight on I-4 at 90 mph giving me the finger after they've rode 5 feet off my back bumper for a while
A couple of years ago I was sitting at a light and saw a pedestrian get hit by an F350 with a brush guard towing a triple axle trailer loaded down with a front end loader. It wasn't the driver's fault, she walked right in front of him, but the result was about what you'd expect. Didn't scratch the brush guard on the truck, but it threw the lady about 50 feet and she ended up in a heap on the road.
