AmericanTrucks sells aftermarket parts and accessories for pickup trucks, with a focus on the Ford F-150, Ram, Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra and heavy-duty models. The range covers tonneau covers, lift and level kits, wheels and tyres, lighting, exhausts, tuners and interior parts.
An AmericanTrucks order goes well when the part fits your exact truck, suits how you use it, and is legal where you live.
Getting fitment right
Enter your truck in the AmericanTrucks vehicle selector before browsing: year, make, model, cab style, bed length, engine and drivetrain.
A 2018 F-150 and a 2021 F-150 are different trucks for many parts. So are a 5.5-foot bed and a 6.5-foot bed. Small details matter.
Read the fitment notes on each AmericanTrucks listing. They often mention trim levels, factory options or sensors that change what fits.
If unsure, contact AmericanTrucks support before ordering. Returning a heavy part is expensive and slow.
Choosing a tonneau cover
Tonneau covers are among the most popular AmericanTrucks purchases. The main types are soft roll-up, soft folding, hard folding, retractable and one-piece hinged.
Soft roll-up covers are cheapest and give full bed access. Security is limited.
Hard folding covers are more secure and weather resistant, and still fold for tall loads.
Retractable covers roll into a canister at the front of the bed. They cost more and use some bed space.
Match the cover to your bed length and check compatibility with a bed rail system, bed liner or toolbox.
Lift and level kits
A levelling kit raises the front of the truck to remove the factory rake. A lift kit raises the whole truck more.
Bigger lifts change handling, affect alignment and may need longer shocks, driveshaft work or recalibration. Budget for alignment after any AmericanTrucks lift.
Plan tyres and wheels with the lift. Check backspacing, offset and the tyre size the kit clears.
Lifting a truck can affect the warranty on related parts. Check with your dealer if the truck is under warranty.
Tuners, exhausts and emissions
AmericanTrucks sells tuners, cold air intakes and exhausts. Some are emissions-legal in all 50 states, and some are not.
California and states following its rules require emissions-related parts to carry a CARB approval. Check the AmericanTrucks listing for emissions status before ordering.
Exhaust volume limits vary by state and city. A loud exhaust may fail inspection or draw fines.
Installation
AmericanTrucks publishes install videos and difficulty ratings for many parts. Watch the video before buying to judge whether you can do the job.
Bolt-on items, such as lights, covers and intakes, suit home mechanics with basic tools. Lifts, gears and wiring are often shop jobs.
Get a shop quote before ordering. Installation can double the cost of a part.
Shipping and returns
Large items, such as tonneau covers, bumpers and wheels, may ship by freight. Inspect the box on delivery and note damage before signing.
AmericanTrucks accepts returns within a window for most uninstalled items in original packaging. Installed parts and some special orders may be excluded. Check the current terms.
Wheels and tyres from AmericanTrucks
AmericanTrucks sells wheels and tyres separately and as packages. A wheel and tyre package arrives mounted and balanced, which saves a shop visit and is usually the cheaper route for a full set.
Check bolt pattern, offset and hub bore on the wheel listing against your truck. A wheel that bolts on but has the wrong offset can rub the fender or the suspension at full lock.
Tyre size and lift height go together. Note the largest tyre a lift kit is rated to clear on the AmericanTrucks listing, and remember that a wider wheel with less backspacing pushes the tyre outward.
Tyre pressure sensors on newer trucks may need to be transferred or replaced when you change wheels. Budget for sensors if the package does not include them.
Lighting and electrical
LED headlights, light bars and bed lights are popular AmericanTrucks add-ons. Check whether a headlight is a plug-in replacement for your truck or needs a wiring adapter, and whether it is road legal in your state.
A light bar needs a switch and relay harness. Buy the harness with the bar from AmericanTrucks rather than working out the wiring later.
Paying and tracking an AmericanTrucks order
AmericanTrucks has offered financing for larger orders through third-party lenders. Read the terms and the interest rate before choosing it over paying upfront.
Orders often ship in several boxes from different warehouses. Check the tracking for each item rather than assuming one delivery, and keep all the packaging until the parts are on the truck.
Where the AmericanTrucks savings are
AmericanTrucks codes are mostly dollar amounts, some with minimums:
The $150 code only works on large AmericanTrucks orders over $2,999, such as a lift with wheels and tyres.
The $100 code has no stated minimum and suits mid-size orders.
The 10% code on orders over $299 beats $100 once the order passes $1,000, and beats $150 above $1,500 but for orders under $2,999 the $150 code is not available.
AmericanTrucks codes often exclude certain brands and may not combine with sales. Check the total before paying.
