5 Must-Have Accessories Every New Truck Needs
May
It’s no secret Americans love their trucks. In fact, 18% of all vehicles sold in the U.S. are pickup trucks.
But before you take your mean machine out onto the road for work or play, there are a few accessories you may want to think about adding to lengthen the life (and boost the utility) of your truck.
FLOOR LINERS
Floor liners may not be the first thing you think of when it comes to necessary car accessories if you don’t have a dog or kids. But floor mats can help to protect the carpet in your truck from a lot of things including coffee spills, mud, gravel, slush, road salt, snow, and sand. Aim for liners that have a good amount of traction to keep your feet from slipping.
PICKUP TRUCK TIE DOWNS
Truck tie downs are essential for securing items in the back of your truck, especially when the back is open. Whether you’re using your truck for work or your friends regularly call on you to help them move, truck tie downs are a car accessory you’ll want from the get-go.
RATCHET STRAPS
Ratchet straps are made out of a heavy-duty material to hold your truck’s cargo securely in place. What’s more, they’re known for quickly tightening the straps into place which makes them especially handy. Like truck tie downs, you’ll want to be sure to get a set of ratchet straps before agreeing to any big hauls.
TRUCK BED LIGHTS
Truck bed lights can be useful when you need to get into your cargo during late nights or early mornings. Flashlights won’t be able to do the trick when you need both of your hands to reach what you need. Aim for lights that are easy to turn on and off.
UNDER-SEAT STORAGE
Trucks are known for their cargo storage, but not necessarily their interior storage. Under-seat storage helps you store things under your backseats to keep things contained where you can reach them. On the plus side, you get more storage space that lets your tools stay organized instead of turning your truck into a place of chaos.
Truck bed anchors are essential for every haul-pulling truck. To learn more about truck bed tie down anchors or truck bed hooks, contact BullRing today.
Considering trucks as a towing service vehicle a must-have tool is ELD (electronic logging device) to make sure your driver performs well and gets to the point asap.
