Protect the front end of your commercial truck with the INA Equipment Deer Guard XG-125, Generation 3. Manufactured by Ex-Guard, this XG Series extreme-duty guard is designed to provide enhanced front-end protection for demanding over-the-road and commercial trucking applications.
The XG-125G3 features an additional crossbar and a 7-inch taller design compared with the corresponding EX Series guard. The guard helps protect the bumper, fog lights, radiator, collision mitigation system (CMS), and grille from deer, road debris, and other front-end hazards.
Constructed from 8-gauge high-tensile steel tubing, the XG-125G3 combines high strength with a durable, one-piece design. The guard is finished with Ex-Guard's proprietary EVRCoat™ corrosion-resistant PVC coating, which is designed to resist UV exposure, rust, and road salt.
Generation 3 features include LEVRLock™ dual latches and Xero-G™ Lift Assist. The lift-assist system significantly reduces the effort required to raise and lower the guard for routine inspections and service access.

The Generation 3 XG platform is designed to fit a wide range of compatible set-back axle trucks using vehicle-specific mounting brackets. Ex-Guard lists compatibility across major Class 8 brands, including Freightliner, Peterbilt, Volvo, International, Kenworth, Mack, and Western Star applications. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Important: Vehicle-specific mounting brackets are required for installation and are not part of the guard itself. Verify your exact truck make, model, model year, bumper configuration, axle configuration, and required bracket kit before ordering.
For example, Ex-Guard lists the XG-23FNCAE bracket kit for the Freightliner Cascadia Gen 4 steel-bumper application shown in the manufacturer's current fitment catalog. Other truck configurations require different bracket kits. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

- Verify your exact truck make, model, model year, bumper configuration, and axle configuration before ordering.
- A vehicle-specific mounting bracket kit is required for installation.
- Do not install the guard without the correct mounting brackets and hardware for your specific vehicle.
- Follow all manufacturer installation instructions and torque specifications.
- Do not modify, cut, drill, weld, or otherwise alter the guard or mounting brackets unless specifically authorized by the manufacturer.
- Inspect the guard, latches, mounting brackets, and hardware regularly for damage, looseness, cracks, corrosion, or excessive wear.
- Make sure both LEVRLock™ latches are fully engaged and secured before operating the vehicle.
- The guard adds weight to the front of the vehicle. Verify that vehicle axle-weight, gross vehicle weight, and payload requirements remain within applicable limits.
- ClearZone® CMS compatibility is based on Ex-Guard's tested design. Correct vehicle-specific installation is required for the system to operate as intended.
- Do not assume CMS compatibility for a vehicle configuration that has not been verified. Confirm compatibility for your specific truck before installation.
- The included license plate bracket is part of the XG Series guard package. Vehicle-specific mounting brackets are separate components.
- Professional installation is recommended for customers who are not experienced with heavy-duty commercial truck equipment.
⚠ WARNING: Ex-Guard grille guards are designed to provide additional protection for vehicles when properly installed. However, grille guards cannot guarantee safety or protection in all circumstances. Protection levels may vary depending on vehicle model, speed, collision type, and other conditions. Always verify proper installation, maintenance, and use of the product.
