Truck driving is an adventurous activity. The wind being felt as the truck passes by, off-roading with friends, and just cruising down the road are all part of what makes the truck experience so special. Trucks are also highly undutiful. Making your truck more efficient, good looking, or adding some sort of functionality to it can be efficiently done. Oh, and don’t forget… whatever improvements, replacements, or repairs you make to your truck, your auto insurance must be current. So, let’s take a look at five cool truck accessories to try out in 2022, without further ado. 🙂
Lift Kits
Lift Kits are the ultimate truck accessories! What could be better than riding down the road on an elevated chassis, your hands tightly gripping the wheel, as you press down the accelerator to hit a decent speed? Not much, that’s for sure! Lift kits offer a means to raise your vehicle’s suspension and increase your wheel size. Having a higher up off the ground is ideal for off-roading or other more extreme driving. Also, be useful for snowy or blizzard conditions. Which kids make your vehicle tower above others, and ultimately could make it look quite a distinct, pretty vehicle on the road.
Wheels and Rims
If you cover many miles behind the wheel but do not engage in off-roading, it might look great to you to change your truck’s wheels and tires. The wheels upgrade will make the aspect ratio of the tires different. So what do you look for when buying some new awesome truck rims? The width is important and correlates to your tire size, but typically the wheel should be two to three inches narrower than the tire. The wheel diameter should never be less than half that of the tire. Offset, which is the wheel’s balance from the center is also critical. The bolt pattern of the wheel and rim should match your axles as well, for safety reasons. Bigger Wheels have higher low ratings and can handle more weight. Ultimately, upgrading your wheels and rims gives your truck a new look while adding a new layer of driving ability to the vehicle.
Bumpers
Bumpers are a pretty important accessory when it comes to any vehicle, but especially trucks. A rear-end accident or other damage. Although installing a new standard bumper can be a nice aesthetic alteration to your vehicle, you may want to consider installing a hitch or a winch on your vehicle. If you find yourself towing things such as boats, jet skis, or other vehicles often then a hitch can be a great bet. A winch can be useful for many different issues. It can help pull you out of the ditch when you’re stuck, do some heavy lifting, help out with towing, and other useful features. Deciding on a bumper accessory ultimately depends on your driving style and needs, but these are three of many unique options that can really make your truck stand out.
Lights
Lighting is an essential feature of every car. As far as your truck is concerned, the sky is the limit. You can swap your regular halogen headlamps for the LED part. LEDs provide significantly longer life, superior energy efficiency, and much gentler to the eye type of light. Another place to add lights to your truck’s cab would be on the top for some supplementary lighting at night. You can also add lights to the top of the truck’s cab for some extra lighting on those dark nights. LED light bars also have a classic look and feel to them. For dark, foggy, or stormy nights, installing some fog lights can be a great idea. For the vehicle’s interior, a few accent lights can add a tasteful touch to the inside of your vehicle.
Exterior Accessories
Outside the engine and wheels, upgrading some of your truck’s exterior components is a lot of fun as well. For exterior upgrades, some popular choices are beds, Bullbars, and Tonneau covers. A tonneau cover is a type of truck bed cover that can keep cargo safe and secure as you drive along or park. They come in different styles and sizes. They might be hard or soft, or even made of a canvas material that’s in between. There are roll-up covers, trifold covers, and hard covers that can cover pretty much any of your cargo needs. Outside of covers, you can get a liner for your truck bed and even a step to help get inside the truck. Accessorizing is appealing to a lot of truck owners, and the sky’s the limit when it comes to upgrading/enhancing your vehicle.
