Popular Pickup Truck Accessories



Pickup trucks are one of many types of vehicles that we often see decked-out with lots of aftermarket accessories. Just look at Rocky Ridge Trucks – you can choose to buy one of their many limited edition versions, all of which have themes and come with a variety of special accessories. No matter what you use your truck for – from off-roading to toting around equipment for carpentry jobs – there's always a way that it can be improved. That's why these accessories are the most popular in the world of pickups.

Truck Tailgates
Did you know that you can swap out your tailgate for one that will help you get better gas mileage? Stock tailgates are heavy and known for trapping air in the truckbed, which creates drag and makes the engine have to work harder during acceleration. Air flow tailgates are just as secure but help to eliminate that drag, giving you better fuel efficiency and equal confidence when moving equipment. Best of all, they're extremely easy to install with standard tools.

Tonneau Covers
One thing a lot of people don't like about pickups is that they're often afraid to leave them unattended when the bed is full with valuable equipment. That's the beauty of tonneau covers. They're attractive and provide coverage so that you don't have to worry about bringing everything in and out of the house when you aren't finished a job. They come in both hard- and soft-tops, always keep your cargo secure, and don't leave everything out in the open.

Engine Chips
There are a lot of ways to improve an engine's performance, such as using high-quality air filters and upgrading your exhaust system. However, nothing gets the job done quite like engine chips. They allow you to personalize the performance of your pickup to allow you to increase your horsepower, get better gas mileage, and simply perform better and more efficiently. They're inexpensive, easy to install, and make a huge difference when you drive a vehicle of this caliber.
