Adding truck accessories to your vehicle can be an excellent way to express yourself, dress up the truck, and add some functions you need. There are many different accessories to consider, and more auto parts stores and online shops can help you get the right parts for your truck model. 

Steps And Running Boards

If you have a truck with a modified suspension that is tall and hard to get in and out of, truck accessories that help with access are available. Steps mounted to the frame and allowing passengers to get in easier is one option that may work for you.

Similarly, running boards that bolt onto the truck and offer a step that runs from the front wheel opening to the rear are also popular. The running can be cab mounted or two pieces that mount separately on the cab and bed. The benefit to longer running boards is the added ability to use the step along the side and of the bed to assist with retrieving items. 

If you are concerned about having truck steps hanging down under the truck, you may want to consider a powered set of steps that fold under the truck when the door is closed. Anytime someone opens the door to get in, the step will extend and then retract once they are inside the truck. These are an excellent option for trucks that spend time offroad but may need cleaning and maintenance if the truck gets into a lot of mud and water that could affect the working parts of the steps. 

Truck Toolboxes 

If you use your truck for work, you may want to consider a truck toolbox or cargo box that fits in the bed. Any truck accessories dealer will have a wide variety of truck box styles that you can consider when looking for one that will carry the tools or equipment you need. 

Getting a toolbox with a good lock and one that is easy to access from the side of the truck may be necessary to you, so take some time to look at all the options for your vehicle before you purchase a box. Truck boxes are available in aluminum, steel, and polyethylene plastic and are durable enough to withstand heavy use. 

Polyethylene boxes will not rust, so they are a good option in parts of the country where corrosion is a concern. Aluminum boxes are also good at preventing corrosion, are lightweight, and often have a polished finish that looks great in any truck. While steel boxes do have more potential for rust, they are highly durable and can be painted to match the truck if you like that look.
