I have to be very careful when constructing this list seeing as how there are so many interior accessories available for pickup trucks nowadays. With gigantic e-commerce sites like Amazon, many sellers are selling different versions of the same product and it’s up to the us to decide and test which ones are the best ones.
This list of interior accessories will comprise of items I have actually used in the past that I found to be very practical. I’ll also do my best not to recommend similar products. God knows I’ve tried at least five or more different cell phone holders in the past.
The links below will take you to Amazon because hey, who doesn’t love Amazon?
1. Speaking of cell phone holders, the one that has lasted the longest and is still in my truck is the magnetic car mount. I actually have three mounted in various locations in my interior. I like these magnets because they aren’t bulky or take up space on your dash or windshield. I don’t recommend the ones you can stick on your vents because with your phone attached, it blocks a whole vent that you can use on a hot summer day.
2. This may not be a significant accessory to you but being from Texas, it’s very important to me. This special sun shade not only helps keep your truck cooler but it also prevents those pesky mosquitoes from invading when the windows are down. If you have children in the backseat, these shades will keep them cool while your A/C is powering up. As you can see, these aren’t like your typical roll-up shades that once attached, you are unable to lower the window. Just be sure to get the proper sized one!
3. The gap between your seat and the center console is considered the “black hole” of all vehicles. It’s where you can find quarters, french fries and business cards that you’ll never get back again. The Drop Stop is a nifty little seat gap filler that prevents you from losing anything in “the black hole” ever again. It’s such a simple yet genius design that is extremely easy to install. If you want something even more function, take a look at the gap filler with storage.
4. I don’t know about you, but I almost never clean my cup holders unless I make a significant spill. Therefore, my cup holders are always dirty and sticky. These vehicle cup holder coasters allow for a fast and easy clean-up. The coasters are of course easy to install and remove.
5. There’s nothing like a good ol’ fashioned steering wheel cover to accesorize your truck. If uncovered, steering wheels go through much wear and tear whether it’s from UV rays or oil/dirt/friction from your hands. Replacing a steering wheel is expensive and a good cover will maintain the value of your truck overall. This is the one I have in my Tacoma right now.
6. This isn’t necessarily a truck accessory but it’s useful nonetheless. I’m probably speaking only for myself, but many truck owners prefer to clean the exterior of their vehicle vs the interior. However, this portable vacuum makes cleaning your cabin more bearable. The best part about this particular one is the hose attachment that allows you to get into the tight spaces between your dash and windshield.
7.This clothes hanger bar is super useful if you visit the dry cleaners often, need to hang a suit jacket, or need to carry light groceries. It’s easy to install and the rubber texture on the bar prevents items from sliding down the bar. You can hang this bar on cabin hooks or grab handles.
8. I don’t know about your truck, but I have plenty of space behind my back seats for storage. This cab organizer can be attached to your back cabin wall with mounting screws. In it, you can store small tools, a first aid kit, or anything valuable you want kept from curious eyes.
9. If you like sleeping in your truck while camping or your spouse kicked you out of the home for the night, consider geting this backseat air mattress. It comes with two inflatable pillows and an airpump. It will allow you to sleep flat in your backseat. And yes, it will fit ANY truck.
10. I know I’m not the only one who keeps valuables in their truck when they’re not supposed to. Sure, my goods are normally out of sight, but they can still be stolen if the thief is motivated enough. To further protect my valuables, I keep one of these portable safes underneath my driver seat. It comes with a cable that you can wrap around anything bolted down like your seat rails.
11. A seat back protector/organizer is great if you constantly transport little ones or guests in general in your truck. It will prevent wear and tear on your seat back upholstery from kids kicking your seat back or when guests lean on the seats. Additionally, there is plenty storage space for whatever your lifestyle dictates.
12. These auto hooks are perfect for grocery bags, small purses, light jackets, or anything you want to keep off the seats or floor. They are small, easy to put in and take out. I decided to get these when my groceries kept rolling out of the bags and onto the floor. They’re so useful and very inexpensive.
13. Nowadays, everything is charged via USB—phones, tablets, toys, cameras, etc. This is why you need a USB splitter charger in your truck. The nice thing about this charger is you can mount it anywhere in your truck with adhesives or screws in order to make your interior look cleaner.
14. This particular one may not fit your truck, but a dashboard cover is an excellent way to keep your dash undamaged, thus maintaining your vehicle’s value. If your truck is normally parked outdoors where it’s constantly exposed to the sun, your dashboard WILL show damage at a faster rate. The sooner your cover, the less likely damage will occur.
15. Some folks may find these cheesy, but interior lights can look classy if installed properly and displaying the right color. I prefer white myself. This light kit can display many colors and can go with the rhythm of your music.
