RAM MOUNTS

X-Grip Phone Mount

The 20-year trucker default that won't quit

RAM Mounts has been the trucker default for 20+ years because they don't fail — made in the USA, used in military, marine, and aviation. Twist-lock suction won't loosen in heat or vibration.

Twist-lock suction — heat & vibration proof
Holds any phone to 4.5" (Pro Max + case)
1" ball joint — 100+ RAM accessories
Lifetime warranty

Modular — base + arm sold separately
Pricier than budget suction
