Unfortunately around here, animal strikes are NOT THAT RARE. We've hit 8 this year with 6 trucks in our fleet. Lots of money out and time lost. I've thought about one similar to this on my 6.7L, it's not the thought of all the damage, it's where I will be when it happens. Stranded somewhere in the dark with my family is what concerns me most. I agree, some of them are not that nice looking, but a few are. If you take a deer in the grille of any of the Big 3 trucks(past several years) and you damage the intercooler, you have a very large paperweight. Yes, insurance will cover the cost and hopefully no permanent damage is done to the truck, but I'm all for not exposing my family to predicaments like that.
Amen to that. Somebody hits a deer at least once a week here. I bet Kalifornia doesn't allow them because all the tree huggers might get offended. And besides, the deer couldn't afford the taxes amd moved out.
