Ex-Guard has released the FX and HX Series Heavy Duty Grille Guards for Class 2-5 vehicles.
"Ex-guard has redefined durability and design for class 8 semi-truck protection in North America for nearly 20 years,” said Jeremy Drever, director of engineering for ex-guard. “Now we’re bringing that same level of protection to heavy-duty pickup trucks and chassis.”
The new guards off protection for several 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
- RAM Pickup Grille Guards: 1500-3500
In addition, Ex-Guard has plans to expand into other work vehicles, including Toyota trucks, Rivian vehicles, cargo vans, and full-size SUV models.
The new FX and HX Series Grille Guards feature 11-gauge high-tensile steel, intelligent design, and EVRCoatTM PVC coating to prevent rust due to road wear and tough weather conditions. Additionally, the FX and HX Series are ClearZone collision mitigation system (CMS) compatible, ensuring the CMS can function properly without guard interference. The ClearZone designs will work with adaptive cruise control and parking sensors.
Ex-Guard Grille Guards are designed to absorb the impact of a collision and distribute the force evenly. With Ex-Guard Grille Guards, business 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.
