Do you want to give your old truck a makeover without having to spend thousands of dollars on it?

If your truck is old but still dependable, you don't have to invest in a new one. With the help of some smart accessories, you can not only improve the look of your truck but can also improve its performance, life and durability.

Given below are some smart accessories for your old truck.

1. Wireless Backup Camera

If your old truck does not have a wireless backup camera, you should definitely consider installing one.

A wireless backup camera will make driving and parking a whole lot easier and you will also be extra confident of your safety. You can install it yourself since it is much easier to install compared to a hardwired system.

Wireless systems are also more technologically advanced and some systems make it possible to integrate backup cameras into the navigation system.

2. Tailgate Assists

Tailgate assists help in controlling the drop rate of your truck’s tailgate.

This accessory enables a slow and consistent lowering of the tailgate by working with its existing cables. It will also help increase the life of your old truck since every time you open the gate, your truck goes through a jolt.

You can avoid expensive repairs if you get a tailgate assist.

3. Bass Speakers

If you haven’t upgraded the sound system of your old truck, it is high time you give it a thought.

Lets face it, factory speakers might sound decent in the beginning, but they deteriorate over time and this affects sound quality. If you are someone who loves blasting music in your truck, why not invest in some good quality speakers for your truck?

Not only do these speakers have better sound reproduction but they also have amazing bass levels.

4. No Drill Mud Flaps

No drill mud flaps protect your truck’s fenders and exterior from rocks, dirt and mud which are kicked up off the road.

As the name implies, you can install these flaps without having to drill any new holes into your truck. They are custom designed so they fit perfectly into the contours of your truck.

You can also install these on used trucks. Some of the best used trucks available for purchase are the trucks from most renowned European manufacturers.

5. GPS Speedometer

GPS Speedometers are more accurate than the majority of the vehicle speedometers.

These speedometers accurately display your driving speed so you will know whether you are exceeding your speed limit and can adjust your speed accordingly.

A GPS speedometer will make a great addition to your old truck and you can avoid speeding tickets.

6. Cassette Adaptor For Bluetooth

A cassette adaptor converts your cassette deck into a Bluetooth music receiver. There is no need for any complicated installation procedures.

If your old truck has a cassette deck, this is great because you can listen to music through bluetooth and also take hands free calls.

7. LED Light Strips

Attaching LED lights in the bed of your truck helps you get a better view when you are working on it especially at night and also makes it stand out.

They are super easy to install since all you have to do is peel and stick. Some LED light brands are Bluetooth enabled and come with multiple colour options.

8. Truck Fridge

Portable fridges for trucks are becoming very popular and they are perfect for keeping your drinks and snacks cold inside the truck.

12 V compressor fridges are the most common type since they are very efficient and variable speed compressors which draw very little power.

9. Triple Ball Trailer Hitch

A triple ball trailer hitch is very convenient for truckers who have various towing requirements.

This trailer hitch has 3 different couple sizes so you will always have the right sized ball mount. They fit standard 2 inch receivers and the ball mount is easily adjustable.

10. Console Security Safe

If you are someone who carries a lot of personal and important belongings in your truck, you should invest in a console security safe.

It usually comes with multiple lock options and is designed to fit in the floor console of your truck. If your truck is very old, you can purchase a universal floor vault.

Conclusion

Adding these accessories to your truck can make you feel like you are driving a new and technologically advanced vehicle. The best part is that you don’t have to spend a ton of money on them.
