The New 2017 Honda Ridgeline, look for it in the Fall of 2016.

The first Ridgeline had some novel features, such as a two-way tailgate and a lockable trunk/beer cooler recessed in its bed. But it also had critics, traditionalists who insisted that trucks without separate frames are as useless as stockings without garters. 10 Years has passed since that first Ridgeline launched and, with unibody crossovers having all but supplanted body-on-frame SUVs, the market might be more accepting. Honda is no doubt remembering the Ridgeline’s strong initial sales, before everyone including Honda lost interest in it. And they’re certainly calculating what an additional 40,000 to 50,000 annual units will add to the bottom line.

The new 2017 Ridgeline will share the 2016 Pilot’s direct-injected 3.5-liter V-6 and six-speed automatic, as well as its four-wheel-drive system. Output should be similar, at close to 300 horses.

Keep an eye out for this exciting new pickup. We sure hope it performs as good as it looks!

Pickup Truck Tool Boxes and Storage Solutions from TruckLogic.com

If your job requires you to transport tools to and from the work site a pickup truck toolbox from TruckLogic.com is what you need. Tools aren't the only thing truck boxes are used for, recreational items or emergency equipment as well as groceries or other items that need protection from the elements or prying eyes. There are several different styles and materials to choose from. We'll discuss a few here.

When considering a tool box, you must first think about what you want to place in the box and where you want to place it. Certain factors like toppers, tonneau covers, ladder racks and fifth wheel or gooseneck hitches might interfere with operation or placement and will limit the amount of options on truck tool boxes. 

One of the most popular designs is the "crossover" box, which is installed directly behind the cab and sits on the bed rails. Other boxes include side storage boxes called "innersides" or "topsiders", which are attached to one side of the bed, and tailgate boxes, which are installed next to the gate. 

The Crossover tool box style is the most common style for a pickup truck bed. It fits across the front of your truck's bed behind the cab. Typically crossover style tool boxes are available in a single lid model or a double lid model. Options include extra deep for added storage area, low profile for added visibility into your bed, slimline to save space and accommodate certain hitches, or even extra wide and deep for maximum capacity. 

The various style of side boxes offer additional storage and compliment a crossover box. Topside tool boxes are a rectangular shape and mount on top of the truck bed rail. Innerside tool boxes also mount down the side of the truck bed rail but partially drop down into the bed due to their "L" shape. 

Underbody boxes, designed for utility beds and commercial applications, mount underneath the truck bed to save valuable space on top.

Wheel Well tool boxes are pork chop shaped boxes that sit right on top of the wheel wells and can be accessed from the side of the truck.

A chest tool box is very popular and in most cases offers the maximum storage capacity because it has no notches or cut outs.

Storage drawers are great for organizing tools, equipment and other small items like fasteners. The drawers mount near the tailgate for easy access. These drawer models are very popular for contractors.

Most truck tool boxes are available in diamond plate aluminum as well as black diamond plate and white steel too. Diamond plate provides a nice chrome finish with a rugged non-slip look. The smooth steel models compliment the truck's body. These options will make it easy to ensure a nice match to your truck as well as the needed functionality.

So whether it's a Ford, Dodge, Chevy, GMC, Toyota or Nissan pickup truck, TruckLogic.com has the box for you! We choose only the finest quality manufacturers who provide premium workmanship and materials. Our brands include Delta Storage, Delta Pro, Jobox and UWS tool boxes.

Whatever your tool box choice might be, PLEASE use the TruckLogic.com tool box dimension charts to insure a proper fit and function for your pickup.

Tonneau Covers from TruckLogic.com

Tonneau Covers are flat covers that extend straight over the top edge of truck beds, front to back and side to side. These covers have become perhaps the most popular truck accessory. A tonneau cover provides security for your gear and tools, and also protects the contents of your truck bed from rain and snow. Tonneau covers will enhance a pickup trucks appearance by complimenting other truck accessories. Also, studies have shown that a tonneau will increase your fuel mileage by reducing wind drag in a pickup truck bed. 

TruckLogic.com offers many different brands and styles of tonneaus and bed covers. Below are the some of the basic types. 

Roll Up Tonneau Covers
Roll up covers, such as TruXedo and Access Cover, are the most common and least expensive tonneau. They are usually made of industrial strength vinyl with sewn in support bows. Roll up tonneaus fasten to your truck bed rails with a heavy duty velcro like material. When rolled up all the way they are stored at the front of your truck bed.  

Retractable Tonneau Covers
Retractable covers, like Pace Edwards and Roll-N-Lock, operate very much like a garage door. They can be made of an aluminum support structure sandwiched between vinyl or other materials. A canister mounted at the front of you truck bed rails will contain the cover itself as it is rolled up. Typically retractable covers can be key locked to your truck tailgate. Some are electric and can open or close automatically with the touch of a remote button.

Folding Tonneaus
Folding covers, such as the Bak Flip, are two, three, or four rigid structural. The panels are folded up depending on how much truck bed space you need.   

Hard Lid Bed Covers
Hard bed covers are a one piece solid unit that usually is hinged at the front of your truck bed. The Undercover brand for instance, can easily be removed for full pickup truck bed use.

So whether you drive a Ford Super-Duty or a Toyota Tacoma, or a Chevy S-10 you have a lot to choose from when deciding which tonneau would be the best accessory for your truck.

Truck Accessories from TruckLogic.com

A Truck Accessory is an aftermarket part that is used to enhance the style or functionality of a pickup truck or sport utility vehicle. Truck accessories are different from replacement parts, usually referred to as "hard parts" or "cores" which include brake calipers, alternators, water & steering pumps, radiators and other similar items that originally came on the truck.
Some of today's most requested accessories for trucks and SUVs include nerf bars & running boards, grille guards & bumper replacements, tonneau covers, truck tool boxes, floor liners and bed liners. 
Truck accessories for appearance did not become truly popular until the '90s. Beforehand manufacturers including Chevrolet, Ford, Dodge, Toyota and Jeep, as well as other manufacturers, considered their light-duty trucks & SUVs as work vehicles and did little to accommodate styling accessories. Aftermarket accessory suppliers were focused on work enhancing accessories such as snow plows and lift gates. However, the market options expanded as manufacturers began to grow with a selection of pick-up truck sizes. With the emergence of the extended cab, trucks started taking a more urban appeal and were purchased for their looks as well as functionality. 
The new breed of truck owner wanted more than just a tool box to accessorize their vehicles. That began the industry wide development of accessories that would enhance the look and performance of the vehicle. Manufacturers started to accommodate the demand with products like chrome trim, power programmers, louvered tailgates, window visors and hood deflectors.
If you are considering accessories for your truck or SUV, check out TruckLogic.com (a division of Meadow Creek Truck). Since 1983 Truck Logic has been a leading supplier of top quality aftermarket Truck & SUV accessories. We have taken the guessing out of truck accessories by offering only the best products from our industry's finest and most reliable manufacturers, like Delta Tool Boxes, Ranch Hand Grill Guards and Ranch Hand Bumper Replacements, WeatherTech Floor Liners, Bak Industries Pro Caps & Bak Tonneau Covers, Kargomaster Ladder Racks, Truxedo Tonneaus and many more.
