5 Awesome Ram Accessories to Add to Your Holiday Shopping List5 Awesome Ram Accessories to Add to Your Holiday Shopping List

When you own a Ram truck, there’s no shortage of ways to upgrade your rig. Whether it be for style, functionality, or a little bit of both, there are hundreds of available accessories currently on the market. 

With the holidays finally upon us, there’s probably some of you out there scrambling to come up with the perfect gift idea. For the Ram owner in your life, might we suggest some authentic Mopar parts and accessories to upgrade your loved one’s Ram 1500 to the next level? 

If you’re at a loss about what to shop for, here are some of our personal favorite accessories. 

Tonneau Covers 

One of the main reasons to own a pickup truck in the first place is to make use of the bed space to haul cargo, but sometimes, you need to carry something that you don’t want exposed to the elements. That’s where a tonneau cover comes in handy—it fits neatly over the cargo box and protects your valuables from the beating sun and driving rain. 

There are a few different kinds of tonneau covers. The most affordable version is a roll-up soft cover, but Mopar also makes a folding soft cover, which makes it much easier to partially remove the cover and access your cargo. However, if you want the best protection from harsh weather, you’ll want a hard folding cover, which splits into three different sections and does a great job of weatherproofing your bed. It also has the added bonus of giving the truck a clean, classy look. 

Remote Starter 

With the winter weather almost here, we’re getting to that time of the year in Lee’s Summit where being outside is a massive pain, and the cold has a way of putting a major damper on the old morning commute. 

There are multiple advantages to a remote starter. With a simple click of a button, your truck can be totally warmed up by the time you get outside, saving you the inconvenience of having to spend the first ten minutes of your drive shivering in the cold. It also allows you to defrost your windows early, which makes scraping ice off much easier and saves you time before work. Warming up your truck before driving is also well-known to be much better for the engine in the long run, so we call that a win-win-win. 

All-Weather Floor Mats 

Keeping your truck’s interior in good shape is a hugely important factor in preserving its resale value. The factory floor mats do a fine enough job at this, but if you want to go above and beyond, a tough set of all-weather mats will all but guarantee to keep your carpet looking pristine. 

All-weather mats feature a cupped design that traps mud and dirt, which prevents the mess from spreading and makes it easy to simply remove them and shake them out. Their smooth construction also makes them super easy to wipe down, making the need to waste minutes vacuuming a thing of the past. 

Locking Console 

Unfortunately, break-ins happen from time to time. There’s nothing worse than coming out to your truck to find a broken window and your precious belongings gone, but with a locking center console, you can leave your truck with the peace of mind that, even if it does get broken into, your valuables will be safe. 

This insert is made of durable materials, and it essentially turns your console into a portable safe. It’s also incredibly easy to install, and it still allows for full use of the lid and armrest. 

Utility Bars 

The Mopar kit that’s currently available comes with two high-strength bars that stretch laterally across the bed, giving you the perfect base to mount other accessories like cargo carriers, bed tents, and sport racks. Utility bars massively improve your ability to enjoy camping and other outdoor activities. 

They also allow you to store supplies above the main bed storage space, so you can pack all sorts of cargo underneath. This makes them ideal for moving—just stow all your boxes below and throw heavy furniture like couches and dressers on top. The potential uses are nearly endless.
