Ex-Guard® Saved My Truck When This Driver Cut Me Off

“Ex-Guard® saved my truck when this driver cut me off. I was impressed at the beating it took, and it didn’t even bend or break. I’m picking up a 2021 LT International next week, and I’m planning on putting one on that also. I also hit an antelope, but that was a pretty messy picture to show…but it didn’t hurt truck one bit.”

Ex-Guard Unleashes FX Series Grille Guards for RAM® Heavy-Duty Trucks

DES MOINES, Iowa (December 9, 2025) — Ex-Guard Industries, the leader in heavy-duty front-end protection, is dramatically expanding its commitment to the pickup truck market. The company today announced the immediate availability of its new, extreme-duty grille guard for 2010 and newer RAM 2500/3500 models. This launch brings true Class 8 semi-truck resilience to the heaviest working pickups on the road.

“Ex-Guard customers can now armor their RAM 2500/3500 trucks with the exact same level of engineered protection that shields hundreds of thousands of semi-trucks across North America,” says Jeremy Drever, director of engineering for Ex-Guard. “This is more than an accessory; it’s the definitive example of bringing our Class 8 durability to hard-working pickup trucks.”

In addition to specific design features for compatibility with Mack’s All-New Anthem and Pioneer, the new guards feature:

• ClearZone® CMS Compatible Design – works with the truck’s built-in collision mitigation system radars
