After driving just 1,000 km with my 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning, I noticed multiple dents on the front heat exchanger caused by rocks kicked up from the road — one of them quite serious. Given that I frequently drive on highways and the road conditions in my area are less than ideal (lots of loose gravel and stones), I decided to design a custom 3D-printed grill cover to protect this vulnerable component.
After several design iterations and careful fit adjustments, I finally achieved a version I was happy with. I’ve now tested this grill cover over approximately 2,000 km (50% city driving, 50% highway), and it has performed very well. No new damage has appeared on the heat exchanger, and I haven’t noticed any negative impact on cooling efficiency or airflow.
