Ex-Guard Engineering
Built stronger for the road ahead.
Long-haul protection depends on more than size. Ex-Guard combines a resilient exterior coating with high-tensile steel engineered to absorb impact without adding unnecessary weight.
High-Tensile Construction
Carefully selected 8-gauge or 11-gauge steel balances strength, rigidity and weight—delivering proven front-end protection without overloading the truck.
The EX 100 series offers a high level of protection and value in a single package.
ClearZone® CMS Compatible: Ex-Guard XG and EX Generation 3 guards are the only guards that have been tested and verified by the collision mitigation system (CMS) radar manufacturer to fall within their established “Verification Zone” while at the same time avoiding the radar’s “Keep-Out Zones”. This aids in allowing the CMS to function properly and without inhibition. Ex-Guard has been verified to meet the requirements of CMS radar systems for Freightliner®, Kenworth®, Peterbilt®, International®, Volvo®, Mack® and Western Star® as of August 1, 2024.
LEVRLock™ Latches: Decades of engineering experience have been poured into this third-generation latch system. The new latch design features an ergonomic handle and rattle-resisting design – making it by far the most durable latch Ex-Guard has ever made.
