Anyway, here are some aftermarket accessories that help people take care of their cargo and their pickups. Pickup Bed Covers A pickup bed cover —also known as a tonneau cover—helps a truck owner protect tools and anything else that might be in their truck’s bed.

Sure, they might end up getting constant requests to help friends/family/acquaintances move, but owning a big, bad piece of automotive muscle is still worth it. Trucks are not always complete right off the lot, though. Depending on what people plan to use their Ford/Chevy/Toyota/Honda for, they may need to invest in accessories like bug deflectors, winches, hitches and truck bed extenders. A pickup bed cover or tonneau cover is one of the best accessories that someone could get for his or her truck.
