Just a few simple upgrades to your truck can make projects and errands a lot easier, enhance your vehicle’s performance, and protect its appearance. For a truck that does more and looks better, use our 10 simple upgrades to trick out your truck.
Tow Hitch
This one is probably the most obvious and a good place to start. What’s the point in having a truck if you can’t tow big stuff? Even if you don’t intend on towing much, it’s always better to be safe than sorry.
Truck Bed Caps
Buying and installing a truck bed cap is one of the easiest ways to achieve a factory-finish look. Bed caps also protect the edge of your truck bed from unsightly scratches, as well as provide a no-slip grip for climbing in and out.
Tailgate Assist
The terrible sound of your tailgate carelessly falling open can be a cringe-worthy noise, but with tailgate assist, you’ll never have to hear it again. Tailgate assist will keep your tailgate from clanging open by using a big spring to let it down easier. You can order DIY kits on Amazon and install it yourself with a few basic tools.
Tailgate Cover
Just like bed caps, a tailgate cover will give your truck a nice finish and provide that no-slip grip, which is especially useful on your tailgate. In addition to appearance and convenience, it will also protect your tailgate from scratches.

Bed Liner
A bed liner is essential to keeping your truck in pristine condition. Not only does it protect the bed of your truck from getting scuffed and scratched, but it also provides good traction that will prevent your things from sliding around. This is also useful for situations that require you to stand in your truck bed to load or unload big items.
Tail Light Covers
Tail light covers are a must-have upgrade for your truck, especially if you’ll be taking a lot of off-road or mudding adventures. Tail light covers can be purchased for less than $30 a pop, which is definitely worth it considering they protect your lights from rocks, debris, and other harmful projectiles. These tail light covers will add a nice finish to your vehicle’s look and are available in a high gloss smoke or clear finish.
Tonneau Cover
A Tonneau Cover is the best way to protect your truck bed from the elements and preserve its great condition. We suggest you spend the extra cash to buy a quality roll-up cover that will make for quick and convenient use.
Car Wind Deflectors
Adding car wind deflectors to your truck can make for a more enjoyable ride. Wind deflectors will regulate the airflow in your vehicle and can help reduce window fogging during rainy or snowy weather.
Running Boards
Running boards are a simple upgrade that will make things easier on your and your passengers when stepping in and out of your truck. You can order your favorite style online and install them yourself in almost no time at all.
Bed Lights
Installing a couple bed lights can be a convenient and appealing upgrade. In fact, several newer models come with bed lights already built in. These are especially useful for those who often find themselves working around the bed of their truck in the dark.
