Redesigned Half Ton Trucks of 2013

Monday, May 21st, 2012

We have had a couple of years now between half ton truck redesigns. For those of you out there toggling between buying aftermarket parts for your current truck or waiting for the new redesign to come out before buying that grille guard you have been itching for. We are here to help you with that decision.

 

Ford- Ford will be unveiling a new grille with two horizontal bars, surrounded by bracket shapes at either end, as well as a new in dash navigation system for 2013. The 2013 f-150 will be similar in body style to the 2012, with only a couple different curvatures in the exterior. This should be the last refresh of the current f-150 era; ford enthusiasts should expect a complete overhaul by 2014 / 2015.

 

Dodge – The Ram 1500 will be stepping its game up in 2013 offering more technology and better fuel efficiency. Released at the 2012 New York auto show, the principal news for the renewed Ram is the availability of the Dodge’s Pentastar V6 engine, with 3.6 liters while tuned to distribute 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The new engine makes 42% more horsepower, 13% more torque and returns at least 20% (19-20 total mpg) better fuel economy than the outgoing 3.7-liter V6.

Another new feature of the ram is the adjustable height function. In normal mode the truck operate with almost 9” of ground clearance. When getting into and out of the truck, it will lower itself two inches. For those times when you find yourself getting a wild hair and pulling off onto some muddy old dirt road, you can raise the truck either 1.2” or 2” depending on what conditions you have.

 

Sierra- GM has set aside hundreds of millions of dollars to invest into a new redesigned sierra. They are trying to take a new approach to the exterior design of the truck to differentiate them selves from the Silverado. 1st, the basic version of the 2013 GMC Sierra Redesign is reinforced by the Ecotec 1.4 liter Turbocharged engine, and there is additionally announcement which claimed that other model will likely be applying the Ecotec 2.0 liter turbocharged engine. Other engines that’ll be offered to the 2013 GMC Sierra Redesign are the 2.5 liter as well as the 2.8 litre Duramax turbo diesels engines; in which the car will probably be ready to reach 346 ft of torque. The 2013 GMC Sierra Redesign is designed to run by utilizing the 6 speeds manual transmitting system.

Interior for new 2013 GMC SierraThe interior looks to be something completely knew for GMC. While I am sure this interior is for the high end models, it still looks very classy and almost sports car-esk.

 

Chevy Silverado- The interior of the Silverado is in desperate need of a revamp in order to stay on par with its competition. According to general motors, the 2013 Silverado will have a new design that combines retro style fascia Chevrolet trucks and Chevrolet Cheyenne modern look. The exterior is rumored to be designed after the Chevrolet Camaro.

New Shocks Really Make a Difference On-road and Off-road

Tuesday, April 10th, 2012

Rough Country makes the suspension systems you need to survive rough country off-roading. Truck Add Ons proudly offers these suspension systems – including shocks – as a solid alternative to the other fantastic name brands we carry. One of the selling points that sets Rough Country shocks apart from the rest are the “Velocity Sensitive Valving”. What this means is the shock varies the resistance according to the piston rod speed. This improved valving increases the “smoothness” of the ride and improves control in serious off-road situations. The benefit to you is that you don’t have to turn any knobs or set the shocks to utilize this improved valving. The shocks re-adjust automatically, so you can just enjoy the ride!

The value of good shocks cannot be underestimated. Even for individuals who merely drive cars on smooth terrain, quality shocks are of the utmost importance. With poor or low-quality shocks, riders have an extremely unpleasant experience. If you are an off-roader, a good set of aftermarket shocks is a must. Hilly terrain, rocks and uneven ground push your vehicle to the extreme, and without quality shocks, you might as well stick to playing ATV video games.

Truckaddons.com has all the brand names you’ve come to love. Edelbrock, Rancho, Pro Comp, Skyjacker, Trailmaster, etc. Whether you choose Rough Country or another quality name brand, you’re in good hands with us. We guarantee the lowest price online for shocks!

What are the most practical ways to update your vehicle?

Monday, April 9th, 2012

So you’re not in the market for a nerf bar, truck bed cover or winch? Are you looking for some practical ways to add accessories to your outdated truck, jeep, SUV or car? You can actually modernize your car without having to spend thousands on a new one. There are several sensible products for the frugally-minded available that can make travels easier, safer and more efficient.

Stereo

Few accessories in your vehicle will give you more pleasure while driving than a nice aftermarket stereo. While new cars often offer Pandora, Netflix or other forms of internet entertainment built-in to the dash, your old clunker probably doesn’t have these modern luxuries. There are many aftermarket options that include Bluetooth and MP3 capabilities. There’s really no reason to be stuck listening to archaic radio stations that play the same ten songs over and over again. You can enjoy automatic syncing of your iPod, data from streaming devices, and listen to your entire music collection in your old car.

GPS

Many new vehicles have onboard navigation systems; if yours is older it probably does not. It is a fact that a GPS will relieve stress. With a GPS, never again will you feel lost and have to deal with the stress that brings. You won’t have to ask for directions and you won’t end up in a less than savory part of town. GPS’ easily lead you to restaurants, hospitals, gas stations and other necessities. And, if you know where you are going, it’s comforting to have a map easily visible. Many GPS make it easy to dodge traffic; sometimes you can bypass a traffic jam by skirting through side roads. They are timesavers and are a valuable resource for busy commuters.

Cell Phone

Another viable GPS option is to use a Smart Phone with a GPS Data Plan as a navigation system. Cell phones are great additions to your car’s interior and obviously have multiple uses beyond simply navigation. Cell phones can also utilize Bluetooth making talking, texting and driving safe and legal. Many phones utilize talk-to-text features. iPhones and other Smart Phones are essentially like having small computers attached to the dash of your car. The options to improve your driving experience with them are limitless.

Floor Mats

If you have kids or dogs, ditch the carpet floor mats and get some Husky Liners or mats from another top aftermarket floor liner manufacturer. New aftermarket floor mats seamlessly fit to your specific model’s floorboard and keep milk, lollipops, OJ and other carpet destroying food stuffs from smelling up and staining your already-too-old clunker’s floor. Even if you don’t have kids, get some new liners anyway, everybody spills coffee on the floor at some point!

Fog Lights

Fog lights really work. If you live in an area of the country that has serious fog problems, these aftermarket lights are a great addition to any kind of vehicle. You can’t use high-beams on fog, and low-beams are often not strong enough. Add fog lights to your low-beams and you’re good to go! Instant visibility means increased safety, making fog lights well worth the aftermarket investment.

 Remote Start

If it’s freezing outside, it is so nice to know that you won’t be freezing once you get inside your vehicle. And, if it’s ridiculously hot, remote start can help to start cooling your car down before you get in it. There’s no need to burn the backsides of your legs on leather seats, when it’s avoidable! Some may argue that an old vehicle with remote start is better than a new car without it.

Tires

New tires are expensive, but when your tires hit 50K to 60K miles, it’s usually time to update. New tires increase stability, fuel performance and the overall safety of your vehicle. Updating old tires is a responsible way to make your old car look a lot newer and make it a lot safer without having to buy a new one. Even though a new set can run $600 – $1200, it’s still cheaper than buying a brand new vehicle.

So you see, even if you think it’s a waste of money to update your vehicle with aftermarket parts, it’s really not. Think about it, you’ll save $10,000 – $20,000 by not having to buy a new vehicle. Tires will save you money on gas. A stereo will make your trip more enjoyable. GPS and Cell Phones can keep you safe and save you time from getting lost. Floor mats keep your car cleaner. Fog lights keep you safe in bad weather conditions by increasing your visibility. And a remote start just simply makes your life a lot more comfortable.
