Showcase Truck Accessories

When replacing lighting for a truck’s accessories, owners are presented with LED light bars and fog lights. While both have their merits, they are different in use. Knowing how they function and where they excel will help truck owners decide which option is most applicable to them. LED Light Bars Broadly using intense illumination, these powerful light sources are positioned on the roof, bumper, or grille, putting them in favour of off-road trips, job sites, and rural driving. Because LED light bars create a highly effective beam that covers a wide area, they can be used in the more heavily visible areas. Unlike traditional headlamps, LED lighting bars produce flood and spotlighting. Spot beams extend their field of view into the distance, while flood beams diffuse light over a wide area. They are ideal for the person who needs reliable illumination in dark or low visibility conditions because many have both features. Fog Lights Fog lights are designed to provide visual aid ...

Luckily there are Curt hitches for every job, and this blog will help break down what you need to know to get your truck set up with the right one.  Classes and Types of Curt Hitches  Hitches are meant for hauling, however, depending on the purpose and required capacity, there are different classes and styles of hitches for different jobs.  Receiver Hitch  A Curt receiver hitch is the most common style of hitch and comes in 5 different classes organized by coupling size and towing capacity.

However, while your tonneau cover is putting in the work to keep your gear safe and dry, what’s protecting it from damaging snow, sleet, and frost? How to Care for Your Tonneau Cover The good news is tonneau covers are built tough. They were designed to be rugged and extremely durable so caring for them is pretty low maintenance. But they aren’t maintenance-free and if you want your tonneau cover to last you’ll need to put in a little effort. Keep Your Tonneau Cover Clean But how can you possibly keep anything clean in the winter? As soon as you pull out of the driveway you’re hit with rain and mud or snow and slush or whatever else Mother Nature is throwing your way. While it’s true that keeping your tonneau clean on a day-to-day basis is unlikely, periodically scrubbing off the layers of built-u...

Some vehicles get you from A to B — and then there’s your truck. A pickup truck is more than just a means of transportation; it’s a workhorse, an adventure partner, and sometimes even a second home.

If you’re in the market to upgrade your truck situation, here are some accessories that are worth investing in.   Tonneau Covers No matter where and how you use your truck, a tonneau cover is a must-have truck accessory.

These versatile covers come in a range of styles and price points; from affordable rolling covers to premium hardcovers, there’s a tonneau to fit any budget and routine.   Truck Bed Liners Even though your pickup truck is mea...

These heavyweights are two of the most popular tonneau covers on the market —and for good reason. You can’t go wrong with either choice, both Extand and BakFlip offer industry-leading durability, performance, and quality, but the devils are in the details. So, let’s break down what might give one of these tonneau covers an edge for your truck needs.  Design & Materials   Both Extang and BakFlip deliver durability, but they use different materials to get there.   Extang Solid Fold 2.0 uses EnduraShield polymer panels, which resist dents and UV damage while providing a sleek matte-black finish.

With today’s rising fuel costs, fuel efficiency is a priority for many truck owners. Unbeknownst to many, one of the most effective ways to improve the truck’s fuel economy isn’t found under the hood, but rather on the bed of your vehicle. This is where Extang tonneau covers come into play. Tonneau Covers and Fuel Efficiency The open design of a truck bed creates significant aerodynamic drag, especially when driving at highway speeds, acting as a parachute, catching air and reducing fuel efficiency. By installing an Extang tonneau cover, this drag is dramatically reduced. The cover smooths the airflow over the bed, preventing air from getting trapped and causing resistance. This streamlined design leads to a more fuel-efficient ride, saving you money at the pump. Efficiency in Design Extang tonneau covers are specifically engineered to maximize performance and fuel savings. Their low-profile designs are built with aerodynamics, ensuring your truck bed remains streamlined. Whet...
