    I had posted a thread like this before, but it's disappeared. Like, actually gone. Google still finds it, but the link doesn't exist here. I had created that thread as a list for folks (Namely, myself) to reference once they got their truck and were wondering accessories to get first.

    So since that thread is gone, I'll start a new one.

    Most useful thing I put on/in my 2017:

    Bed mat

    Sliders / roof rack, but the truck came with the factory tonneau cover. I can stand on the sliders to strap my canoe to the roof rack. Also fond of the weather tech floor mats for protecting the carpet from all the mud.

    'Gram wise the 255/85 MTs are really useful.

    I also frequently use the collapsible crates I got for holding stuff in the bed without sliding around.

    Bug deflector. I used to cringe driving down the highway, because my windshield would constantly get pummeled by small rocks. Since installing it I've noticed the number of rocks making contact is drastically less.

    Bed mat was installed before I drove it off the lot. Other than that, I’ve only used my seat heaters more.

    Not the exact one I have, but a lot like it:
    https://www.amazon.com/VAVA-Magneti...939&s=gateway&sprefix=magnet+,aps,205&sr=8-10

    I also love this thing too:
    Kuelor Waterproof Car Trash Can, Leakproof Auto Garbage Bag for Litter with 3 Mesh Pockets, Collapsible Storage Organizer, Black
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071YJF6NW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Also this. Had to rivet the velco on, but now I have quick action to my flashlight, leatherman, nail clippers, fire extinguisher, towel, quicksand knife (yes, it was $7 worth it), and various grocery store cards.

    This visor organizer is very useful:

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HNXN8DH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0179KBKTS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Additional Bed Rail rings:

    Cup Holder Phone Mount, almost returned it because it wobbles quite a bit but have gotten used to it, the placement is perfect. You may wish to try the shorter version to reduce the wobbling.
