I believe you have a 4th Gen truck. If 1500 logo is on door, you have a 4th Gen and you can search for earlier years like 2018, 2017, etc.

Question remains, where is the 1500 logo. On the door, it is 4th gen. I don't know if there was a 5th Gen sport in 2020, and all of the ones I have seen are 4th gens.

Now that we have that situation is taken care of lol. I can seem to find the tough guard bug deflector that will fit my truck, I like that one because it will match the fender flares that I have on the truck

You ask for help, people here ask for details needed to point you in the correct direction. You have an old profile pic of a 4th Gen truck, so naturally we want to establish exactly what you have. And this frustrates you?

Good luck in your search.

I like that, but I’m really hoping to find the tough guard version that will fit my truck. It will match my fender flares perfectly. I have the rough country ones. IMG_2770.jpeg

All this talk of bug deflectors got me thinking, do they really keep the amount of bug hits on the windshield down? I know my car has excellent airflow from the factory and I get very few bug splats on the windshield, even though the front bumper is a mass of dead bugs. On my 2500, mega bug hits to windshield, that seem to match the front bumper impact rate. If it wasn't for the dish soap I mix with the washer fluid it wouldn't take long before the bug smears meant I can't see out the windshield at all.

I’ve been on those last 2 you showed me, and they show it’s not for the sport. I don’t see any difference is my hood compared to other models lol it’s so confusing. And I can’t seem to find the tough guard website anywhere lol

The 2 bottom I listed shows tough guard for 1500's. If I were U, I would find a same year 1500, and compare side by side and measure. Except for maybe fake plastic scoop stuff, it would not surprise me if the front of the hoods are the same dimensions, and U may be able to use the one for the 1500 listed on the sites. You just gonna have to do a lil legwork to confirm, as I doubt U find a SPEC on line to com pare hoods and going to the dealer to get info, well U know.

The only caveat may be that U said U had the Rebel trim, now that may get interesting, lol. Good luck, done all I can do.
