Semi Truck Accessories & Parts

When you begin tackling long drives on the road, your commercial truck is essentially your home away from home. You’ll be spending tons of time behind the wheel and inside of your semi-truck, so it’s important that you feel comfortable and proud of the vehicle you’re driving. With that being said, we understand many drivers may be interested in outfitting their ride with semi-truck parts and accessories to add their own sense of style and extra comfort.

Whether you’ve just gotten into the driver’s seat of one of our new trucks or maybe you’ve already spent some time with one of our pre-owned trucks, you can personalize it with some International Truck accessories or other semi-truck accessories to make it your own. Learn more about the International semi-truck parts and semi-truck accessories below!

Commercial & Semi-Truck Accessories for the Cabin

While you’re tackling all those miles on the road, you’ll want to feel comfortable inside of your commercial truck. Even after you’re done with a full day of driving, you likely want to rest and experience a relaxing cabin.

Fortunately, with some of the available interior International truck accessories, you’ll have an easy time staying comfy in your semi-truck. Some of the interior International truck accessories you can opt for include:

• Steering Wheel: The size and shape of the steering wheel can impact the way you drive and turn. There’s a variety of sizes and styles available, such as stainless steel or body-color steering wheels. Opting for a steering wheel that feels comfortable can make a huge difference on the road.
• Seats & Seat Covers: You might think dropping $1,000 on a seat with memory foam is excessive, but when you drive for hours on end, it’s a worthy investment for your back and neck. Not to mention new seats or seat covers can revitalize how your interior looks.
• Floor Mats: Installing heavy-duty floor mats is one of the best ways to keep your cabin floors clean and in good condition — no matter the weather outside.
• Gearshift Knobs & Extensions: Extending the gearshift knob can give you a better grip, ensuring you’re always shifting from a comfortable angle without straining.

Commercial & Semi-Truck Accessories for the Exterior

Once you’re done customizing your interior with popular semi-truck parts and accessories, consider stylizing its exterior as well. Adding semi-truck parts and accessories to the outside of your truck can be a great way to showcase your style and add your own flare. Here are some of the popular exterior semi-truck parts and accessories many drivers opt for:

• Bumpers: Whether you want to give your truck a makeover or replace a dented or scratched bumper, you’ve got a lot of options, including light bars and inserts, end pieces, Texas squares, and more.
• Exhaust Kits: Semi-trucks are most easily recognized by their large grilles and blaring exhaust pipes. You can customize your truck with individual pipes, a set of stacks, or kits.
• Grilles: When it comes to grilles, there are plenty of different shapes, sizes, and materials. Choose from punched inserts, classic stainless steel louvered grilles, or grilles with built-in bug screens. The sky’s the limit!
• Headlights & Bezels: Need stronger and brighter headlights to light up the night while traveling through Miami or Fort Lauderdale? Consider upgrading your current headlights to ultra-bright aftermarket LEDs.

Semi-Truck Replacement Parts

Before you head out on the road, it’s vital to ensure that you complete a pre-trip inspection. This will allow you to make sure that your truck stays in tip-top shape. While pre-trip inspections are always a good idea, they aren’t necessarily a replacement for getting routine maintenance. However, pre-trip inspections will help you avoid being stranded on the side of the road and unexpected costly services.

Be sure to complete regular Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports (DVIRs) to stay ahead of regular services. If you find anything that needs to be replaced, be sure to utilize International semi-truck parts from our parts center. Let’s take a look at some of the International semi-truck parts and accessories you should check during your inspections:

• Brake sensors, cables, and hoses
• Battery
• Radiators
• Condensers
• Charge air coolers
• Engine oil coolers
• Door locks
