- 1). Add a rear-view camera to your truck. This will enable you to save money from accidents that occur due to objects hiding in rear blind spots. Another option is to have a local professional install vehicle sensors.
- 2). Add a tonneau cover, if you have a pickup truck. Tonneau covers are available in hardcover and softcover form. Variations include roll-up, hinged, snap on, and tri-fold truck bed covers. A tonneau cover can be used to protect items that you carry in the bed of your truck.
- 3). Add wi-fi service inside your truck. This is a good idea for truckers who carry a laptop to access the internet while traveling on the road. This service is also good for individuals who travel in remote areas, where local, wireless internet service may not be available.
- 4). Update your tires and rims. If your truck has stock 16-inch wheels, you may want to increase the tire size to either 18-inch wheels or 20-inch wheels. Tire Rack is an online source that allows you to select the year, make and model of your truck. Once you select a tire size, a wide selection of rims will appear on the screen. When you choose a particular rim, you can instantly view how it appears on the truck.
- 5). Install headrests that are equipped with liquid crystal display, or LCD, screens. This can be nice on long trips, allowing passengers to watch movies or videos on the road. In addition, be sure that your truck has bluetooth, iPod and mp3 connectivity.
- 6). Place running boards on each side of the truck. Running boards are available in materials such as fiberglass, heavy duty aluminum, stainless steel, ABS molding -- a polymer material -- chrome plating and diamond plating, to support rust-free performance. The boards benefit both drivers and passengers, providing a boost when climbing into a truck.
