Truck Accessories

From Wikipedia, the
free encyclopedia A Truck
accessory is an aftermarket part that is used to enhance the style or
function of the original OEM pickup truck. Truck accessories are
differentiated from other parts, typically referred to as "hard parts" or
"cores" that include distributors, water pumps, radiators and the like. Some
of the more popular accessories for light-duty trucks include tubular
products such as nerf bars, grille guards, tonneau covers, truck tool boxes,
autocarts, and bed extenders.

History
Truck accessories to change the look of the vehicles did not become popular
until the 1990s. Previously, domestic U.S. manufacturers including General
Motors, Ford Motor Company, Chrysler, and American Motors considered their
light-duty trucks (Chevrolet, Ford, Dodge, and Jeep) as work vehicles and
often did little to accommodate appearance accessories. Aftermarket
suppliers were often focused on specialty work-enhancing accessories such as
snowplows, spreaders, and lift gates.
However, the market segments expanded as manufacturers offered a wide
variety of pick-up truck types and sizes. With the dawn of the extended cab,
trucks began taking on a more urban appeal and were being purchased for
their style as well as their utility. This new audience of truck owner began
to demand more than a simple tool box to adorn their trucks. They began
developing an appetite for accessories that would complement the look of
their truck and manufacturers began to accommodate their desires with
products like billet grilles, chrome fender trim, nerf bars and hood
deflectors. In addition, truck manufacturers began collaborating with and
designing their vehicles to easily accommodate these accessories with
bolt-on ease.
