DES MOINES, Iowa, Sep. 11, 2025 – Ex-Guard®, the leading provider of front-end protection solutions for the commercial transportation industry, has launched a new line of grille guards engineered specifically for the Mack Pioneer and the “All-New” Mack Anthem.

“Mack is an iconic brand in the North American trucking industry, and their new Pioneer and Anthem models continue that legacy,” said Jeremy Drever, director of engineering for Ex-Guard. “We’ve designed a lineup of guards that not only complements these new models, but also delivers exceptional protection per pound of guard while preserving the collision mitigation functionality and aerodynamic styling of the trucks.”

The new guard lineup features five models, ranging from extreme-duty full protection for the bumper, grille, radiator, hood, and headlights to low-profile full bumper protection guards. The Mack VM series includes the full protection XG-150G3-VM, EX-150G3-VM; the mid-height XG-125G3-VM, EX-125G3-VM, and bumper covering EX-100G3-VM. This range of guards is also compatible with the Volvo All-New VNR and VNL models.

Ex-Guard worked directly with industry partners, customers, and the manufacturer on real-world testing to validate the design and strength of the new guards.

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
  • Ex-Guard’s patented XERO-G™ Lift Assist, which greatly reduces the effort to raise
    and lower the guard
  • 8-gauge high-tensile steel coated with 3mm of EVRCoat™ PVC finish
  • LEVRLock™ dual latches
  • Additional cross bar for increased grille coverage
  • License plate bracket

The new VM series guards are now available to order at any of Ex-Guard’s 2,500 dealers  across the U.S. and Canada. For more information on Ex-Guard’s new grille guards for the all-new Mack® Anthem® and Pioneer®, visit ex-guard.com.
