Ex-Guard Begins Production on Class Leading Front-End Protection for Ford® Super Duty®, Chevrolet® and GMC HD Models
New Grille Guards Provide Front-End Protection for Class 2-5 Vehicles
(April 1, 2025) — Ex-Guard®, the leading full-service manufacturer of semi-trucks and van guards in the U.S., began production today on its new line of grille guards and front-end protection for three major heavy-duty pickup truck brands.
“This has been a long time coming,” says Jeremy Drever, director of engineering for Ex-Guard. “After tens of thousands of requests, today is the day we begin production on Ex-Guard for the most popular heavy-duty truck models in America’s fleets.”
Proudly made in America, the new guards deliver Ex-Guard’s legendary defense to some of the most popular full-size and heavy-duty pickup trucks and chassis, including:
- Ford Pickup Grille Guards: F-150, F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550
- Chevy Pickup Grille Guards: Silverado & GMC Sierra 1500, 2500HD, 3500HD
Ex-Guard will also begin production on brush guards for Ram® Heavy Duty trucks as well as medium-duty F-150®, Silverado®, Sierra® and Ram in the next 90 days.
Since the announcement of the new Ex-Guard models, hundreds of customers have requested mounts for the most popular electric winches currently available. “Interest in a winch mount was almost instant,” noted Drever. “Our team set right out and made a winch box that will fit popular models from Warn Industries, Ramsey Winch®, Superwinch®, Bulldog Winch, Warrior Winches, Smittybilt® and more.
The WM-9512 Winch Mount will accept most winches that fit in an 8” x 8” x 26” space, making them a very flexible option for users in very rugged environments. This winch mount also includes heavy-duty towing clevises to make extrication easier.
Finally, the new guards are ClearZone compatible, ensuring that they will work with adaptive cruise control and parking sensors available on top-end trim packages of these truck models.
With nearly two decades of experience protecting Class 8 trucks and fleets across more than 200 billion miles, Ex-Guard has proven to be the ultimate safeguard in protecting fleets and drivers from front-end collisions, animal strikes, and other road hazards. Ex-Guard owners and fleet managers have reduced front-end replacement part costs by 97% and towable accidents by 80%. Now, heavy-duty pickup truck owners can experience the same safety and savings.
