We have another first-time participant in our annual TPS top products countdown today, as Ex-Guard clocks in at No. 9. Ex-Guard earns its spot on our list for its next generation grille guards that were introduced in August.
In announcing the new guards, Ex-Guard states its Ex-Guard XG and EX Generation 3 guards are the only grille guards verified by the collision mitigation system (CMS) radar manufacturer to avoid the radar's keep-out zones, allowing the system to function without inhibition.
The guards are verified to meet the requirements of radar systems for Freightliner, Kenworth, Peterbilt, International, Volvo, Mack and Western Star. The company adds each XG model also now include an additional 3 to 7 in., of height, an additional cross bar and a 30% smaller area around the CMS and a license plate bracket.
"This new generation of Ex-Guard helps further fulfill our mission to protect our customer's most valuable assets with the safest, smartest and strongest products," says Ryan Holt, general manager of Ex-Guard. "Our previous generations of guards helped major fleets decrease their towable accidents up to 80%. This generation of guards take that protection one step further, making them easier to lift, taller, with more bars of protection, stronger latching and verified as being compliant with all collision mitigation systems on the market today."
