2024 is an exciting year for truck customization, offering upgrades with impressive capabilities in terms of functionality, safety, and aesthetics. Finding suitable upgrades can enhance off-road adventures as well as help ease workday tasks with greater ease.
Exterior upgrades such as C4 Fabrication bumpers and Camburg Engineering suspension kits enhance off-road performance, while roof racks save interior space for recovery gear and camping tools.
1. Fox Dual Live Valve Shocks
2024 truck accessories offer endless customization and innovation. From utility-enhancing add-ons like the Recon Recovery front bumper to modular gear storage solutions and lighting upgrades that illuminate dark paths, this high-caliber lineup can transform your pickup into an adventure machine.
Honda Talon 1000R and 1000X two-seaters now feature smart adaptive suspension upgrades that provide off-road enthusiasts with an edge. Both vehicles ride on premium Showa shock absorbers equipped with FOX Live Valve technology that gather real-time data from acceleration, braking, steering and inertial sensors every few milliseconds to independently adjust compression and rebound damping forces independently of each other.
FOX Factory Race Team athletes like Justin Lofton have developed race-winning position-sensitive internal bypass technology with this approach, making their shocks race-winning. Furthermore, the FOX Live Valve X2 shock has an innovative 3.0-inch body design which allows more oil to pass through its regulated bypass ports for increased control authority and provides race winning performance.
2. Modular Bumpers
At first glance, a modular front bumper for Ford Broncos may appear as nothing more than an aesthetic upgrade; however, closer examination reveals it to be much more than that; acting as both a fashion statement and source of protection on the trail.
As opposed to standard or heavy-duty truck bumpers, modular types feature thicker steel tubing designed to prevent damage while protecting key components such as radiators and headlights from potential hazards. Furthermore, these aftermarket accessories also use rugged powder coat finishes for an aggressive appearance.
Modular aftermarket front bumpers make mounting winches, brush guards, full grille guards and full grille guards easy, offering full protection from rocks and branches while still maintaining the sleek appearance of the truck. Furthermore, modular designs enable customization with different mounts and lights as your needs shift over time.
3. Pro Access Tailgate
Ford’s Pro Access Tailgate is an innovative solution that helps truck drivers more easily access their pickup beds. Unlike traditional dropdown tailgates that must be lifted up and down, this swing gate opens 100 degrees from the driver side for easier loading of items without moving trailer or jack.
This tailgate features built-in stops so it will not hit trailers or bumpers when opening it – something especially helpful for trucks with trailers attached, winches or tire carriers mounted to their bumpers, etc.
This feature is optional on Lariat and Tremor trims while standard in King Ranch and Platinum vehicles for 2024 model year pickup trucks.
4. GFC Camper
GFC creates many fantastic products, from truck campers and roof top tents to its platform wind skid. This innovative low-profile truck bed cover effectively mutes wind noise as well as road debris to create an environment conducive to restful sleep.
The company claims their product aims to transform a truck into more of a two-story vehicle by providing direct access to the pickup bed without the need for ladders, and permitting users to install accessories without impacting its original purpose.
Wind skids offer another key benefit of improving comfort for off-roading trips or long hauls: noise and vibration reduction from engine and transmission noises and vibrations are reduced significantly, allowing you to sleep better when off-roading or just enjoying driving more comfortably during long hauls. On a scale from 1-10 (where 10 represents quietest), the wind skid scores 9. That is quite an achievement given that its main function lies purely within sleeping space of your truck!
