Accessories for Your Truck

No matter what make or model of pickup you own, chances are that you want to change it to express your personal taste or make it more useful for your applications.

Whether you use your vehicle mainly for off-road play, work, or routine chores, you can find accessories, parts, and products to customize your pickup truck and make it uniquely yours. When you want your truck to perform better or look better, you can use accessories to achieve your aims.

Even though you can get accessories from your GMC, Chevy, Ford, Dodge, Jeep, Toyota, Nissan, or Mazda dealer, you can explore a much bigger selection of items online. You might also get some good bargains shopping online. Some popular pickup truck accessories manufacturers include Westin, Lund, Dee Zee, Auto Ventshade, Warn, Outland, Saddleman, Thule, Wolo, PIAA, Vector, Deflecta Shield, Hoppy, Pilot, Grizzly, and Protecta.

Exterior Accessories

You can find many different types of pickup truck accessories to enhance your truck’s external appearance. Some of these include air dams, bug shields, bras and masks, mirrors, bumpers, fender flares, hood ornaments, graphics and emblems, grille guards, hoods and scoops, racks and cargo accessories, roll pans, running boards, splash guards, tool boxes, truck steps, visors, tire covers, wings, spoilers, and wiper cowls. You should select items that work well together and will complement your truck's basic design. You don’t want your truck to look cluttered or overdone.

Interior Accessories

Interior accessories relate to improving the comfort level when driving your truck. Some examples include cargo trays, floor mats, 12-volt accessories, liners, consoles, racks, dash covers, seat covers, special trim, door accessories, horns, instrument panel covers, pet accessories, and steering wheel covers.

You might also add some electronics to enhance your drive. You could install cruise controls, a CB radio, a scanner, a CD player, a satellite radio, a radar detector, a laser detector, a GPS navigation system, GMRS radio, a power inverter, a remote starter, new antennas, and security systems.

Cushioning the Load and Riding Smooth

Trucks are about hauling things. Why not do it in style? Pickup truck bed accessories include bed rails, cargo control, bed mats and liners, bed protection, tailgate accessories, and tonneau covers. You might also want to consider towing accessories like towing mirrors, hitch balls, hitch steps, hitch mounts, hitch covers, hitch wiring, hitches, tow hooks and straps, winches and mounting systems, and winch accessories.

If you improve your truck’s suspension and brakes, you’ll make the ride smoother and safer. To accomplish this, you might need hubs, shocks and struts, anti-sway bars, bars and arms, bushings and shackles, lift kits, lowering kits, skit plates, trusses, and springs. Adding more lighting would not only improve your truck's appearance, it would also improve safety. You might try new headlights, backup lights, marker lights, accent lighting, auxiliary lighting, bulbs and lamps, driving and fog lights, interior lights, light bars, light covers, light guards, neon lighting, taillights, tow lighting and wiring, spotlights, turn signal lights, and warning lights.

Electrical and Exhaust Systems

It doesn’t matter how good your truck looks if it won't start. If you think there might be a problem, you can keep alternator and battery accessories, a battery charger, chassis wiring, or a jump-start system on hand. If the problem is due to the exhaust system, you might need a new exhaust system, catalytic converter, exhaust tips and extensions, headers, or mufflers.

Doing this work yourself will require some tools and equipment. Useful items include car care products, computer software, tire pressure gauges, creepers and seats, engine hoists and stands, diagnostic equipment, garage and parking accessories, stands, jacks, ramps, paint, sanding materials, and abrasives. Trick your truck out to your heart’s desire, then get out your camera. You’ll want to show your truck off to all your friends.
