For owners and operators, uptfitting a truck is a series of tough decisions. You know the benefits of adding front-end protection but worry about the consequences of changing your truck’s look and adding extra weight.

The reimagined Texas and Big Tex are lighter and tougher than their predecessors, plus they come equipped with a hassle-free Slam Latch system. Below, we dive into what makes this next generation of HERD products so unique.
