Truck Accessories For Summer

At Lone Star Auto Brokers, we know summer in Texas means road trips, lake days, hauling gear, and tackling every adventure head-on. Whether you're cruising around Arlington, heading to Joe Pool Lake, or taking the family down to the coast, having the right accessories on your truck can make all the difference.

We’ve rounded up some of our favourite truck accessories for summer—perfect for improving comfort, boosting capability, and getting more out of every mile. Let’s gear up!

1. All-Weather Floor Mats

Between summer storms and muddy lakeside excursions, it doesn’t take long for your truck’s interior to get messy. A good set of all-weather floor mats is a must-have. They’re easy to clean, durable, and custom-fit to your truck's interior—keeping things looking sharp no matter how wild the weekend gets.

2. Truck Bed Covers (Tonneau Covers)

Want to keep your tools, camping gear, or fishing tackle safe and dry? A tonneau cover is the solution. Whether you go with a soft roll-up cover or a hard folding one, a bed cover adds security and protection from the elements—plus, it gives your truck a sleeker look. Bonus: It can even help with fuel efficiency by improving aerodynamics.

3. LED Light Bars & Off-Road Lights

If your summer plans involve late-night drives, camping, or off-roading, a set of LED light bars or fog lights is a great upgrade. They improve visibility and safety while giving your truck a rugged look. Many truck owners around Arlington and Fort Worth install them for both style and function.

4. Bed Extenders & Cargo Organizers

Make the most of your truck bed with bed extenders, dividers, and cargo management systems. Whether you’re loading up bikes for a trail ride or carrying coolers and chairs for a day at the park, these accessories keep everything secure and in place—no sliding, shifting, or wasted space.

5. Tailgate Assist & Step Systems

Make loading and unloading easier with a tailgate assist or step system. These accessories reduce strain, especially when hauling heavy gear, and they make your truck bed more accessible—perfect for family outings, home projects, or setting up camp.

6. Upgraded Seat Covers

Beat the Texas heat with breathable, washable seat covers that protect your interior from sweat, spills, and sun damage. Whether you choose waterproof neoprene or stylish canvas, seat covers are a smart investment that adds comfort and preserves your truck’s resale value.

7. Portable Truck Bed Tent or Awning

Want to take your truck camping? A truck bed tent or retractable awning turns your pickup into an instant base camp. It’s a game-changer for weekend getaways, overnight fishing trips, or just chilling out in a shaded tailgate spot with friends.

8. Window Tinting

Not exactly a bolt-on accessory, but still one of our top recommendations—especially in Arlington’s scorching summer sun. Window tinting not only keeps your truck cooler but also protects your interior from UV damage and adds a little privacy for good measure.

Bonus: Bluetooth Tech & Phone Mounts

Make your summer drives safer and more enjoyable with hands-free Bluetooth phone mounts, wireless chargers, or upgraded infotainment systems. Keep your playlists going, navigate easily, and stay connected—all without taking your eyes off the road.
