Our radar detector lineup includes models like the Escort MAX 360C MKII with directional arrow alerts and GPS lockout, the Cobra RAD 700i with Bluetooth connectivity, and long-range radar detectors built for open highway driving across Alberta, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia. Every detector we carry features multi-band radar and laser detection with filtering technology that reduces interference from collision avoidance systems in newer trucks and vehicles.
Escort, Cobra & Long-Range Detection for Canadian Highways
Pair your radar detector with the right mount for your truck's windshield or dash configuration. For drivers who spend hours behind the wheel towing trailers or hauling across provinces, a radar detector with GPS marks known fixed camera locations and speed traps along your regular routes — reducing unnecessary alerts over time. Models with Apple CarPlay and Bluetooth integration let you monitor alerts hands-free while keeping your focus on the road.
If you are building out your truck's electronics setup, browse our full Electronics collection for more in-cab upgrades. Add a dash cam from our Audio & Video lineup, install a CB Radio for convoy communication, or upgrade your truck with a Remote Starter for cold Canadian mornings. For battery management on long trips, check out our Battery Chargers collection.
Complete your truck build with parts from our other collections — add a cold air intake or exhaust system from Performance, upgrade your ride height with Suspension lift and leveling kits, protect your truck bed and body panels from Exterior, or set up your towing rig with hitches and mirrors from Towing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are radar detectors legal to use in Canada?
Radar detector legality varies by province in Canada. They are legal in Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, and several other provinces. However, they are prohibited in Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador. Commercial vehicle operators face additional restrictions in most jurisdictions. Always check your province's current regulations before purchasing or using a radar detector.
What is the best radar detector to buy right now?
The Escort MAX 360C MKII is widely considered one of the strongest performers available, offering directional threat arrows, GPS lockout for known false alerts, long-range K and Ka band detection, and Bluetooth connectivity for smartphone integration. For a more budget-friendly option, the Cobra RAD 700i delivers solid multi-band detection with IVT filtering and iRadar app support at a lower price point.
Is Escort or Cobra a better radar detector brand?
Escort detectors typically offer longer detection range, directional arrows that show where threats are coming from, and more advanced GPS filtering. Cobra detectors provide strong core detection at a lower price point with features like Bluetooth app integration and IVT false alert filtering. For frequent highway driving and long-distance towing, Escort offers the performance edge. For occasional use or a first radar detector, Cobra delivers solid value.
Do radar detectors actually help avoid speeding tickets?
Radar detectors alert you to the presence of radar and laser speed enforcement ahead, giving you time to check and adjust your speed. They are most effective on open highways where radar signals travel long distances. In dense urban areas with heavy traffic, detection range is shorter and false alerts are more frequent. A radar detector with GPS lockout and filtering technology reduces unnecessary alerts and improves real-world usability.
What does GPS do in a radar detector and is it worth it?
GPS in a radar detector serves two functions — it marks and remembers locations that trigger false alerts so the detector automatically mutes them on future drives, and it preloads known fixed camera and red-light camera locations along your route. Over time, the GPS learns your regular commute and eliminates recurring false signals. For anyone who drives the same highways regularly, GPS is one of the most valuable features in a modern radar detector.
Which Canadian provinces ban radar detectors?
Radar detectors are currently banned in Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador. In these provinces, law enforcement can confiscate the device and issue fines if a radar detector is found in your vehicle — even if it is turned off. Radar detectors remain legal for passenger vehicles in Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, and the territories.
