There’s an argument to be made that the pick-up truck is the most useful four-wheeled vehicle ever to be devised. Sure, that may be a bold statement, but pick-up trucks are indeed that amazing. They’ve been hauling everything from building materials to soil and everything in between for just over a hundred years. Nowadays, we’ve adapted the pick-up truck to not only do our dirty work but also for recreation.

The bed of a pick-up truck is a blank canvas ready for casual outdoor enthusiast­s and seasoned explorers alike to customize to meet their wants and needs. Taking the family out for a weekend romp? Throw a bed rack and rooftop tent on the bed. Planning to take a once-in-a-lifetime trip to a faraway land? A sturdy, well-equipped camper would be key. Even for daily drivers, a covered and secured bed is mighty useful.

Let’s take a look at some of the latest pickup truck bed accessorie­s to hit the market as well as some perennial favorites. Keep in mind there are many bed accessorie­s, the following list is just the tip of the iceberg. We encourage you to hit the web to see what other accessorie­s each manufactur­er may offer for your truck.
