4 Gifts Any Truck Dad Would Love
Name one father who doesn’t love a good gadget for their truck. I’ll wait.
You can’t!
The problem is choosing which gadget to get him, seeing as how the internet is teeming with all kinds of cool tech nowadays.
So we’ve gone ahead and narrowed down the list to what we think are some of the coolest pieces of tech that Dad will actually put to use and may even increase the lifespan of his truck (and Dad):
SUCTION CUP MOUNT FOR MOBILE DEVICES
It’s 2021, and if Dad doesn’t have one of these for his truck yet, you need to get him one ASAP. Though a seemingly small gesture, it says “I care for your life enough to make sure you’re focused on the road as much as possible.” It’s a necessity, not a luxury at this point.
HEADREST HOOK WITH MAGNETIC PHONE & TABLET MOUNT
It’s another budget-friendly yet essential little accessory. This underrated headrest hook takes the stress out of long drives with little ones and channels it into an instantly-installing, bag-holding, rotating hook that works with any headrest and decreases parental stress by 300% (don’t quote us on that).
Anyone with a big-bodied truck can attest to the fact that backing up can be a real pain. There’s no shame in admitting it, and while Dad might be a great driver, he can’t account for random objects suddenly appearing in his blind spot, poor highway lane-switchers, or bad weather. This blind spot sensor system mounts to either side of the vehicle, is waterproof, and comes with both audio and visual alerts that alert him right in the A-pillar when objects are too close.
BACKUP CAMERA SYSTEM WITH REPLACEMENT MIRROR MONITOR
Now that backup camera systems are becoming all the rage with newer model trucks, Dad’s older model may be in need of an update just to keep up with the trend (not to mention safety standards). With a 130° ultra wide viewing angle, waterproof backup camera, night vision up to 50ft, distance grid lines, and a 20G vibration rating, this little system packs a powerful punch for its price point. Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks? Definitely not us--we’re all for tricking out trucks, especially with safety gear.
Here’s to a happy and safe Father’s Day!
