The popularity of Toyota models across the world means that the number of available accessories on Amazon can quickly become overwhelming. Whether you’re looking to improve an aspect of your Toyota’s performance or capabilities, or just making it look a little better or more customized, there is an accessory to fill every need.
Being certain of what you’re looking for and searching as specifically as possible are great ways to narrow down results and better find the appropriate accessory for you. To help, here are some suggestions for common types of accessories searched by Toyota owners.
- WeatherTech Custom Fit Floorliner : Best Interior Upgrade
- Goodyear Shatterproof In-Channel Window Deflectors : Best Exterior Accessory
- CKE Aluminum Paddle Shifter Extension/Cover : Best Interior Style Upgrade
- Master Tailgaters Chrome Tailgate Handle with Backup Camera : Best Older Model Upgrade
- Tyger Auto T3 Tri-Fold : Best Tonneau Cover
WeatherTech’s floorliners are the simplest way to protect the interior of your Toyota, especially if you spend any time off-roading or live in an area where dust, mud or snow is common. Laser-measured for each model to ensure a perfect fit, the WeatherTech Custom Fit is available for a range of models and model years, as well as in different colors to match different interiors. The excellent fit and quality of the WeatherTech Custom Fit floorliner comes at a cost. The biggest issues many find with it is the price (but it’s made entirely in the U.S). There is the rare case where a fit isn’t dead on, and some find the material a bit thin for the price.
- Laser-measured fit
- Easy to remove and clean
- Receives high marks from owners
- Expensive
- Some find material a bit thin
- Rare fit issues
Goodyear’s Shatterproof window deflectors slot right into the front and rear window channels and provide some shade while deflecting wind noise along with rain and snow. The price tag may seem a bit high, but like the WeatherTech floorliners, the Goodyear Shatterproof In-Channel window deflectors should be the only ones you’ll ever need. Be sure to double-check your installation or have your go-to mechanic install them to ensure a proper fit. The most common complaint is having issues with being able to close the windows.
- Material made to not crack or chip
- In-channel fit for sleek look and optimal deflection
- Provides some shade as well
- Thickness of material can obstruct windows
- Fit difficult if adhesive is weakened
An easy way to give your Toyota a distinct look is with CKE aluminum alloy paddle shift covers. They come in a variety of colors and attach to the existing paddle shifters with included adhesive strips, making them about as easy to install as it gets. Check to be sure that the CKE shift covers you order are for your specific model and take careful measurements of the covers themselves. Some have found them invasive once installed and so long that they may bump against your knees.
- Inexpensive upgrade
- Easy to install
- Aluminum alloy available in multiple colors
- Can be too long for some drivers
- Colors can run lighter than advertised
Toyota is known for reliability, so it’s common to see many older models on the road for 10 or 20 years. Master Tailgaters makes replacement handles for older generations of Toyota pickups and includes an integrated backup camera. All wiring is included, too, and they’re made to fit right in and look great. Be certain that you’re ordering the right model for your truck and have a professional do the installation to ensure everything sits right and works as it should.
- Seamless factory look
- Upgrades tech for older models
- Good value for money
- Requires pro installation
- May need additional hardware
- Some found camera image quality to be poor
A good tonneau cover is a must for pickup owners who haul anything around. The Tyger Auto T3 Tri-Fold provides great quality at a reasonable, if not inexpensive, price. What you’re paying for is a heavy duty, marine-grade vinyl cover to protect cargo from the elements, aircraft-grade aluminum framing and stainless steel clamps. Buyers like the look of the Auto T3, but some have had leakage issues. The biggest thing to watch is the clamps. Tyger Auto recommends tightening them down twice monthly, otherwise it can lift or in rare cases even come off the truck.
- Tough vinyl construction
- Easy installation in most cases
- Limited lifetime warranty
- Clamps require regular tightening
- Some installations require holes to be cut
- Improper fit can cause leakage
