Components and add-ons designed for a specific model year of a full-size pickup truck fall under the category being examined. These items range from practical upgrades such as floor mats and bed liners to cosmetic enhancements like chrome accents and custom wheels. An example would be a tonneau cover purchased to protect cargo in the bed of a 2011 Toyota Tundra.
The availability of aftermarket and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts allows owners to personalize and improve the functionality of their vehicles. The enhancement of utility, protection, and aesthetics contributes to the vehicle’s overall value and the owner’s satisfaction. Historically, the market for these items has grown significantly alongside the popularity of pickup trucks, reflecting a desire for customization and optimized performance.
