The Best Chevy Silverado Accessories
Powerful, luxurious, and agile, the Chevy Silverado great for work and recreation. But there's always room for improvement, which is why we like to upgrade our pickups with accessories that enhance work and play. If you're looking for a little added flair to your Chevy Silverado, you've come to the right place. We've done the digging for you and found some of the best accessories for the Chevy Silverado on the market. In our search, we focused on three main questions: Is it a practical addition to our truck? Does it have the same high quality and matching look as our Chevy? Is the price fair? Our favorite was the center console organizer from JKCover, which eliminated the mess we had in our center console. It also matched the rest of the internal components (so much so, in fact, that it looks like an original part). We also found an antenna for those who want to replace their original saber-like antenna with something shorter, compact, and car-wash-ready. Clearly, there's a lot to consider. Read on for more of our in-depth reviews.
JKCOVER Center Console Organizer Tray
Keeping it clean
We love the Silverado for its ample space. The center console boasts an impressive volume and works great for storing your loose knick-knacks. But to keep your most important items on top, easily reachable, and organized, you’ll want this center console tray from JKCOVER. Installation is as easy as opening the center console and placing the tray inside. It sits on top with a few inches of room so you can still access the space underneath the tray. Anti-slip rubber mats keep your items from rattling around inside noisily. With this center console tray, you can give yourself a little extra peace of mind and keep your truck tidy and organized.
Pros:
- We were impressed by the obvious durability of this tray. It feels really solid, which is great for those of us that are rough with our stuff.
- We like that it matches the look of the rest of the interior, so it seems like an original part.
- It’s a great way to protect more delicate items, such as sunglasses, from jostling around in the bottom of the console.
- The price is really low and the practicality is really high.
Cons:
- The rubber liners cling to dirt and hair, so you have to take them out and wash them individually when they get dirty.
Tyger Auto Underseat Storage Box
Trucks mean storage — lots of storage. The Chevy Silverado certainly delivers in this regard, with its roomy truck bed and spacious interior. However, you may still find yourself needing extra storage space. That’s where this under-seat storage box comes into play. Made with heavy-duty, impact-resistant polypropylene, this durable storage tray slots neatly underneath the back seat. You won’t even notice that it’s there, but it holds an impressive amount of stuff, measuring at 55″ x 16.9″ x 9.7″. For precious tools and other valuables, this is the perfect hiding spot.
Pros:
- For those of us with tools spilling out from under the back seats, this storage box is a must-have. We could fit all sorts of ropes, tow straps, maintenance kits, jumper cables, and much more.
- It’s not cheap, but considering the amount of storage space and the ease of the installation, this box is a bargain.
- It’s super space-efficient and fits the contours of compatible vehicles with extreme precision.
Cons:
- All-weather mats and other types of floor liners may not fit, so you might have to trim them. We suggest comparing the dimensions of your floor liners with the dimensions of the box to make sure everything is compatible.
Rydonair Radio Antenna
If you’ve ever gone through a car wash, been off-roading, or driven through powerful winds, you may have noticed your Chevy Silverado’s whip antenna flopping around like a freshly caught fish. Or maybe it scrapes your garage door as you park your truck. If you love your pickup but hate that long antenna, we’ve got just the thing for you. This low-profile antenna from Rydonair measures only 7 inches in height. That’s almost five times smaller than the stock 31-inch antenna. Amazingly, the reception is just as strong. If you want to give your truck a sleek, modern profile, this antenna will do you nicely.
Pros:
- The range and reception are just as good (if not better) than the original at a fraction of the length.
- The installation only takes a couple of minutes. All you have to do is twist off your old antenna and twist on the new one.
Cons:
- Some people may need a wrench and some elbow grease to unscrew their original antennae.
Tyger Auto T3 Tri-Fold Truck Bed Cover
The ultimate protection
Keeping your truck bed dry can be difficult, especially if you live in a rainy or snowy area. Tarps are tedious, unwieldy, and can flap around in the wind. So what’s the best option for covering your truck bed? We think it’s this tri-fold cover from Tyger Auto. It has a soft top of vinyl and does a great job at keeping your valuables safe from the elements. Freezing temperatures, heavy snow and rain — this tonneau cover handles it all like a champ. On top of protecting your stuff, this cover even makes your pickup more aerodynamic. Your truck will drive more efficiently while keeping your belongings safe and snug.
Pros:
- The installation is super straightforward, so you likely won’t even need the included instructions.
- We were pleasantly surprised by how nice it looks on the back of the truck.
- Unlike other bed covers, this one doesn’t shrink too much in the cold. That way, you won’t have to exhaust yourself trying to stretch a cold, shrunken cover onto the back of your truck.
Cons:
- The clamps have some plastic parts, but they seem durable enough.
TN TrunkNets Inc Envelope Style Mesh Cargo Net
Keep loose items at bay
Keeping loose items in the back of your truck is not only messy but dangerous. Stray items can smash into the slider or other vehicles, potentially causing harm. You also might lose something if you hit a bump in the road. In order to keep your truck bed organized and safe, we recommend this mesh cargo net for the 2013-2021 Chevy Silverado. It stretches across your truck bed, held in place with hooks in either the front or back of the truck bed. You can store plenty of objects inside, and when you’re all done, simply snap it off the mount.
Pros:
- The design fits compatible truckbeds really precisely, so it stays taut rather than sad and saggy.
- It’s perfect for grocery bags, sports equipment, luggage, and toolboxes.
- We really like the “envelope style”, which cradles all its contents inside it like a hammock.
Cons:
- We wish the bottom line were adjustable so we could change the tautness.
