Add-ons and extras are like breathing air for some truck and SUV owners. They have to have them and sometimes just want to have a little extra. Last week several product lines were rolled out that not only look good, but also help with safety.
RealWheels Corp’s TheRealStep is a stainless steel cover for the plastic sidebar that is present on quite a few makes and models of trucks and SUVs. Apparently this side step can be slippery, which can be dangerous in icy or wet conditions. The stainless steel cover slips over the original plastic cover and adds a bit more room for the foot at the same time. After debuting on the SPEED channel, the product started to sell like hot cakes. TheRealStep fits a variety of vehicles, so is popular among dealers. TheRealStep designers also came up with a LED version. Again, safety along with looks - very smart!
Another truck add-on is Tailgate Accessories’ LivingStep. This step can be installed on the tailgate of many trucks in a short amount of time. As the name suggests, it is a moving part that can be turned into both a step (to climb into the bed of the vehicle) and a bed extender. Climbing in and out of the bed of a truck can be hazardous. Repetition of that motion can cause lasting effects. The LivingStep addresses these problems and allows the truck owner to climb easily into the back to load or unload cargo. The test will be if the hinge on the step can hold up to weather and extreme conditions.
Both products not only have to opportunity to save someone from a doctor’s visit (or the dentist for a tooth cap for that matter), but they are also gizmos and gadgets that can be shown off to neighbors and friends.
