Commercial truck front-end protection manufacturer Ex-Guard launched a line of grille guards engineered specifically for the new on-highway flagship Mack Pioneer and the revamped, regional-haul Mack Anthem.
The new Mack grille guards follow Ex-Guard’s launch of new guards for Volvo’s updated VNL and VNR models.
“Mack is an iconic brand in the North American trucking industry, and their new Pioneer and Anthem models continue that legacy,” said Jeremy Drever, director of engineering for Ex-Guard. “We’ve designed a lineup of guards that not only complements these new models, but also delivers exceptional protection per pound of guard while preserving the collision mitigation functionality and aerodynamic styling of the trucks.”
The new guard lineup features five models, ranging from extreme-duty full protection for the bumper, grille, radiator, hood, and headlights to low-profile full bumper protection guards.
The Mack VM series includes the full protection XG-150G3-VM and EX-150G3-VM; the mid-height XG-125G3-VM and EX-125G3-VM, and bumper covering EX-100G3-VM. This range of guards is also compatible with the Volvo All-New VNR and VNL models.Ex-Guard
As reported when the guards were announced for the updated Volvos, the VM-series guards feature:
- Compatibility with the trucks’ built-in collision mitigation system radars
- Ex-Guard’s patented XERO-G Lift Assist, which reduces the effort to raise and lower the guard
- 8-gauge high-tensile steel coated with 3 mm of EVRCoat PVC finish
- LEVRLock dual latches
- Additional cross bar for increased grille coverage
- License plate bracket
The new VM series guards are now available to order at any of Ex-Guard’s 2,500 dealers across the U.S. and Canada.
