Ex-Guard brought the tough talk to the NAFA Institute & Expo, showing off its lineup of high-quality grille guards: now built specifically for heavy-duty pickup trucks. Known for protecting semis across billions of miles, Ex-Guard is taking its experience to the fleet world with the FX50BG3 Truck Guard, designed for heavy-duty Chevy, GMC, and Ford Super Duty models.
During a walkaround at the booth, Adam Roorda, head of marketing at Ex-Guard, broke down the features that set this guard apart. The FX50BG3 is built from 11-gauge high-tensile steel, with the same grit and strength Ex-Guard fans know from its semi line. Roorda also spotlighted the Patriot winch, nestled in a durable winch box, and tow hooks for extra utility in real-world scenarios.
This isn’t your average grille guard, it’s made to take on more than just wildlife. From parking lot mishaps to curbs, snowbanks, and low-speed impacts, the FX50BG3 is built to help trucks stay road-ready and looking good, no matter the conditions.
Another standout? Ex-Guard is 100% made in America, with domestically sourced materials. That means more reliability, fewer supply chain headaches, and price consistency that fleets can actually count on.
Roorda acknowledged that with rising truck prices and part shortages, protecting what you’ve got isn’t optional: It’s essential. And for fleet pros who like to get hands-on, Ex-Guard delivers the kind of solid, feel-it-for-yourself quality that speaks volumes without saying a word.
