Truck Bed & Tailgate Accessories

What Truck Bed Accessories Can You Add to Your Pickup?

You can add truck bed accessories that protect your bed, organize cargo, and make loading easier. Most pickups accept several upgrades at once, so you can build a setup around how you haul.

Here are the main part types you'll find in this category:

• Truck bed rails and side rails for tie-down points and a finished look
• Tailgate protectors and tailgate caps that shield the top edge from scratches and dents
• Cargo slides and drawers that bring gear to the tailgate
• Tie-down anchors and load stops that keep cargo from shifting
• Truck bed lifts that help one person raise heavy loads

Want to cover the floor too? Shop bed mats and liners to guard against scrapes and spills. To lock up and weatherproof cargo, pair your bed with tonneau covers and truck bed covers. Hauling ladders, bikes, or lumber? Browse cargo carriers and racks, or explore all exterior accessories for your truck.

Truck Bed Rails and Side Rails for Cargo Control

Truck bed rails give you secure tie-down points along the bed walls and protect the top edges from cargo scuffs. They also add a clean, finished look to your pickup.

Go Rhino truck bed side rails are available for 2007-13 Silverado/Sierra, 2009-16 Dodge Ram 1500/2500/3500, 1992-11 Ford Ranger Styleside, 1997-14 Ford F-150 with 78.0" or 78.8" beds, and 2007-16 Toyota Tundra. If your truck isn't on that list, check the universal Multi-Fit rails.

Putco Nylon Oval Locker side rails fit 2015-2017 Colorado/Canyon and 2007-13 Silverado/Sierra 1500 trucks. You'll also find Putco lockers in this category.

Before you buy, match the rail to your bed length and model years. Use the Material, Color, and Finish filters to narrow options, and check Mounting Hardware Included so you know what's in the box. The Drilling Required filter shows how much work the install takes.

Tailgate Accessories: Protectors, Caps, and Hardware

Tailgate accessories protect the top edge of your tailgate, where loading and leaning cause the most wear. They also give the back of your truck a sharper look.

A tailgate protector covers that edge to block scratches and dents. Dee Zee offers Brite-Tread and Black-Tread tailgate protectors for select Silverado/Sierra 1500/2500/3500 HD trucks. Pick the finish that matches your trim, and add your vehicle first to narrow protectors and caps to options built for your truck.

A tailgate cap does a similar job with a styled cover. Putco tailgate caps fit 1973-88 GM C/K pickups and 1993-10 Ford Ranger trucks. Restoring an older Chevy? Stainless Fleetside tailgate protectors fit 1967-1972 Chevy/GMC C/K trucks.

If your tailgate rattles, sags, or won't latch, replace the worn hardware before you add a protector. Shop tailgate latches and tailgate hinges to restore smooth, secure operation.

Cargo Slides, Drawers, and Tie-Down Anchors

Cargo slides, drawers, and tie-down anchors help you reach, organize, and secure gear without climbing into the bed. Choose based on what you haul and how often you unload it.

The BedSlide 1500 Contractor cargo slide measures 78 in. x 48 in. in black. It rolls your load out to the tailgate, so heavy boxes come to you.

For organized storage, the ARB 4x4 drawer with roller floor measures 37.2 in. x 19.8 in. x 11 in. in gray steel. A matching cable guide routes power for fridges and roller drawer systems. Comparing storage options? Read our truck tool box guide.

To keep cargo from shifting, add eyebolt anchor points rated at a 300 lb load limit (single) or 500 lb load limit (set). Hi-Lift Slide-N-Lock tie downs give you another way to strap down gear. Load stops help keep longer items from sliding toward the cab. Lifting heavy items alone? A one-person truck bed lift takes the strain off your back.

How to Choose Truck Bed Parts That Fit Your Truck

The fastest way to find truck bed parts that fit is to add your vehicle before you shop. Use the Add a Vehicle tool to guarantee parts fit your truck's year, make, and model.

Fitment matters most for rails, tailgate caps, and protectors, which are built for specific model years and bed lengths. If you're unsure of your bed size, follow our steps on how to measure your truck bed.

Then narrow your results with the page filters:

• Part Type and Product Line to focus on rails, protectors, or slides
• Brand to compare options from manufacturers you trust
• Material, Color, Style, and Finish to match your truck's trim
• Drilling Required and Mounting Hardware Included to plan your install

Once your list is set, check each product's notes for fitment details. Then add your parts to the cart and get your truck ready to haul.
