DES MOINES, Iowa (October 29, 2026) — With deer season at its peak, Ex-Guard Industries is urging fleets and work-truck owners to protect their pickups and vans before a single strike takes a vehicle off the road. Ex-Guard puts the average cost of replacement parts after one front-end collision on an unprotected truck at $9,515.68, before labor, paint and downtime. That is more than three times the $2,640 MSRP of most Ex-Guard kits.
