If you own a truck, then you already know that its best feature isn’t just the horsepower or rugged looks—it’s all that prime real estate out back! No other vehicle offers the same versatile hauling potential, which is probably why you’ve taken your time to find the right bed accessories.
With so many innovative options available, you’re smart to shop around and do your research. At Parts Via, we’ve done the legwork for you. Not only can you enjoy FREE shipping to a nearby dealer, but we've also curated a list of the best truck bed accessories that offer practicality, durability, and style.
These seven must-have items are sure to elevate your truck’s functionality, with options to fit a variety of budgets.
DeeZee Guardian Tonneau Cover
While any tonneau cover is better than none, and there are plenty of options across all price points, the DeeZee Guardian stands out. Winner of the Best Truck Accessory award at the 2024 Keystone BIG Show, this sleek aluminum-top cover for full-size pickups goes beyond just bed protection.
With an impressive 800-lb. weight rating and endless tie-down and accessory options, it allows you to safely transport a variety of gear on top, maximizing your truck’s cargo-carrying potential. Inside, your items are well-protected thanks to its .056 Brite-Tread aluminum construction, robust tailgate seal, and built-in channel system that drains water away from the tonneau surface. Even better, user- friendliness wasn’t sacrificed in favor of durability—the lockable rear panel opens effortlessly with dampened gas shocks, ensuring you can easily access everything you need.
DÜHA Humpstor Truck Bed Side Toolbox
With a name you’re unlikely to forget, the DÜHA Humpstor is an all-in-one storage solution that takes advantage of the often-overlooked space above the truck’s bulky wheel well. Whether you need a cargo organizer, bedside toolbox, or gun case, the Humpstor can handle it all—storing everything from expensive tools to hunting gear without eating up valuable truck bed space.
Featuring a lockable lid, no-drill installation, and compatibility with most tonneau covers, it’s one of the best truck bed accessories for drivers seeking versatility. It’s also among the most durable and value-packed options, boasting a heavy-duty rotomolded polyethylene construction and sub-$500 price tag.
ARIES Switchback Aluminum Headache Rack
When thinking of “innovative” truck bed accessories, a headache rack might not be the first thing that comes to mind. But the ARIES Switchback is anything but traditional.
While it still protects your cab’s rear window from stray cargo, it packs in some seriously cool features, including a rugged, rust-free aluminum construction, a patent-pending stake pocket mounting system, and a unique slotted top edge for adding aftermarket lights. Plus, the styling is ARIES’ most aggressive yet, with sharp angular lines and a punched mesh center that can be removed for easy rear window access. Each model is also designed for specific truck applications, giving you a more custom look.
Although the Switchback sits on the higher end of the price spectrum for headache racks, you can save big with FREE shipping to a parts store near you if you order through Parts Via.
Putco Venture TEC Overland Rack
For truck owners looking to maximize utility for off-grid adventures, an overland rack is a perfect addition—and the Putco Venture TEC stands out as a top choice. This modular cargo system offers endless mounting options through its patent-pending TEC channel system, allowing you to customize the rack with all kinds of accessories—from molle panels and gear mounts, to tents and tables.
The Venture TEC is constructed using lightweight 6061 T6 aluminum, but still boasts impressive weight capacities—up to 1,000 lbs. static, 600 lbs. dynamic, and 300 lbs. off-road dynamic—making it ideal for rugged journeys. Plus, it’s tonneau cover-compatible and requires no drilling for installation, making it as practical as it is innovative.
BedRug Bed Liner
Whether you’re hauling gravel to the job site or sports equipment to the kids’ soccer game, shifting cargo can take a toll on your truck bed over time. Even the smallest scratches and dents can invite rust and corrosion.
While a standard bed mat or liner offers some protection, only BedRug adds the look and comfort of carpet in an ultra-tough 100% polypropylene product that withstands heavy impacts, bad weather, mold, and even bleach and chemical damage. Easy to install and even easier to clean (just hose it down), BedRug is affordable, stylish, and made in the USA.
AMP Research BedXTender HD Max
If you need extra cargo space but only in a part-time capacity, the AMP Research BedXTender HD Max might be the ideal solution. Ruggedly-built yet easy to handle, this accessory maximizes cargo space by instantly adding 2 feet of length to any truck bed.
Simply open the truck’s tailgate and flip the extender down when you need more usable space for larger loads. Then, when you’re finished, flip the extender back inside the bed and close the tailgate. In this reverse position, the BedXTender acts as a cargo corral, keeping tools and items secured in place.
BEDSLIDE MAX Extension 2000
For truck owners hauling heavy, bulky items, a bed extension can be a game-changer. Unlike a bed extender, which frees up space, the BEDSLIDE MAX Extension 2000 transforms your truck bed into a massive, 1-ton capacity sliding drawer.
Equipped with heavy-duty cam-follower bearings, a hard latch system, and weather-resistant composite decking, this rugged sliding drawer system makes accessing gear at the front of your truck bed a breeze—significantly easing the toll on your body during the loading and unloading process. Perfect for contractors and tradesmen who work from their trucks, the BEDSLIDE MAX Extension 2000 also appeals to overlanders and outdoor adventurers who use their pickup as a base camp. Multiple locking positions ensure safety and convenience, while the available BEDTRAX T-slots let you easily attach sports racks and other accessories.
