The Chevrolet Silverado is a classic pickup truck that became popular due to its ruggedness and dependability. However, many Silverado owners want to personalize their vehicles for the kind of work and driving they will do. Our expert team at Monument Chevrolet has compiled a list of some popular add-on accessories that you can consider for your Chevrolet Silverado. 

Top Chevrolet Silverado Truck Accessories in 2023

Here are some of the top accessories you can get for your Chevrolet Silverado:

Bed Mats

A bed mat is constructed from durable materials, such as carpet, rubber, and plastic, and provides easy cleanup. It’s also inexpensive, long-lasting, and non-permanent. It protects your Silverado truck bed from small punctures, dents, and stains. However, it only covers your truck’s flat surface and will not cover the side of the bed, the inside of the tailgate, or the wheel wells.

A bed mat can be custom-made for your Silverado, or you can tailor a piece of material to your desired dimensions. Due to its simple design, a bed mat is easy to install and remove. On the downside, this means it can fold, slide forward, or even fly out of the truck because it’s not secured. 

Rear Wheel Well Guards

Think about buying rear wheel well guards if you frequently take your Silverado through deep streams, snowstorms, or muddy fields. They’re affordable and easy to install, and they’ll prevent mud, rocks, and other debris from causing damage to your truck’s underbody. 

Under-Seat Storage Boxes

You can purchase under-seat storage boxes if you don’t want to leave certain items in your trunk. These boxes are durable and perfect for stowing emergency gear, car tool kits, or anything else you don’t need frequently. You can even get anti-skid storage boxes that stay in place when you take your truck off-roading. Keeping your things in these boxes makes your truck look neat and organized and protects your cargo from thieves. 

Front Recovery Bumper

If you plan to take your truck on punishing roads or off-road trails, it might be a good idea to invest in a front recovery bumper. This gives you an extra layer of protection in case you get into trouble and need a tow. Usually made of reinforced steel, it’s much sturdier than the factory bumper. You can even add more modifications to this kind of bumper by mounting a winch or fog lights. 

Tonneau Cover

You might deal with a lot of different weather conditions in the Pasadena, Texas, area: rain, sleet, snow, or excessive heat. Buying a tonneau cover will help keep your gear dry, safe, and protected in your Silverado’s bed. You can easily install this yourself by simply sliding it over your truck’s bed or folding it into place. 

There are several types of tonneau covers to choose from — some are made of hard, rigid materials and others are soft and flexible. Tonneau covers are available from various leading brands.

Bed Rail Caps

If you want to splurge a little, you can get a custom-made bed rail cap for your Chevy truck. This kind of accessory protects your vehicle when loading and unloading cargo. It also protects your truck’s tailgate and bedrail from scratches, dings, and nicks from items that hang over the side. Some bed rail caps also provide you with a place to tie down any cargo that’s lying in your truck’s bed. 

Side Step Bars

If you want to make your Silverado look much more aggressive but also be more practical, you can add side step bars. This multifunctional accessory ensures that your Chevrolet Silverado is protected by a type of side armor and provides you and your passengers with an easy way to climb in and out of the truck. 

It’s worth looking at stainless-steel side step bars, as they’re more durable than plastic ones and can withstand a lot of weight and activity. Some bars come with bolts or mounting equipment, making them very easy to install. 

LED Third Brake Light

If you want to boost your truck’s safety, you can add an LED third brake light. This accessory ensures that other drivers notice when you’re braking in front of them. It makes you more visible on the road, as they are much brighter than traditional brake lights. Make sure to look for LED lights that are in durable and waterproof casings that can stand up to rain and dirt. 

Chrome Door Handle Covers

Door handles are another part of your Chevrolet Silverado that you can easily modify. People often take their handles for granted, but by adding chrome covers, you can easily set your Silverado apart from other trucks. 

It’s best to get a full set with enough covers to upgrade all your door handles rather than just the driver-side door. Find ones with sturdy chrome construction that can better resist wear and tear. You can even get covers that come with double-sided tape backing, allowing you to easily install the covers yourself. Impress your friends with this sleek modification, which will also boost your Silverado’s formidable appearance. 

Lift Kit

Another accessory you can add to your Silverado is a lift kit. This elevates the truck higher off of the ground. You can dramatically change your truck’s look by lifting it only a few inches. The kit also gives you a smoother ride, reduces the need for ride spacers, and allows you to use larger tires and wheels. Just think of all the fun you’ll have riding in a higher truck when navigating challenging Texas roads. 

You can easily install Chevrolet lift kits yourself, as they come with high-quality screws, bolts, nuts, and washers that the automaker designed to withstand punishing travel.
