5. Custom Floor Mats
Today’s pickup truck interiors rival those of upscale sedans to include plush carpeting. Unlike the foot that steps into an upscale sedan wearing Florsheim, the truck owner’s foot will probably be a muddy boot.
Protecting the carpet is a bigger priority in a pickup and customized floor mats are an easy, inexpensive solution. Floor mats run $20 to $100.
4. Fog Lamps
To paraphrase an old ranching saying, fog lamps are about as worthless as mammary glands on a bull. Automotive lighting specialists have proven time and time again that fog lamps are dangerous when used by themselves and only provide a marginal improvement in visibility when used with low beams.
However, they are awesome looking truck accessories and add just the right aggressive look to the big front end of a pickup truck. To add these essentially non-functional truck accessories will set you back $100 to $500.
3. Running Boards
One of the advantages of a pickup is that it rides high, giving the driver exceptional visibility. Unfortunately that high ride can be a major drawback as well. Think of all the people in your life that are less than 5’6″ are arthritic or elderly or who wear a skirt. These folks are going to have a tough time climbing in and jumping out without the assistance of a running board.
Running boards come in a wide variety of designs from bolt on Smurf Bars to full size running boards that fold out of sight automatically. This essential accessory can be had for $250 to $1,500.
