Accessories & Exteriors across the Valley

From grilles and runners to floor liners and tow hitches, exterior accessories finish the truck and make it work. In the RGV we pick parts that handle dust, salt, and the occasional flood — and style that turns heads without looking borrowed.

Texas Tops fits and installs the pieces that make your truck yours.

Accessories & Exteriors at Texas Tops in the Rio Grande Valley

In detail

Exterior accessories are where a truck becomes yours, but they are also where cheap parts show. A chrome grille looks sharp until it pits from Valley dust and road salt; a textured one hides the same abuse and keeps looking new. Running boards make a lifted truck usable for kids and older passengers, but a set bolted to the body instead of the frame will flex and rust. Floor liners are the cheapest way to protect resale — custom-fit ones trap mud, salt, and meltwater that would otherwise soak into carpet and start to smell.

Fit and finish matter more than people expect. Model-specific parts line up with body lines and mounting points; universal parts usually need drilling and never sit quite right. We use model-specific parts wherever they exist, seal the edges, and wire lights and sensors properly. If a part needs a calibration — like a grille with front sensors — we handle that too.

Think about the finish for how you use the truck. Chrome for a truck that gets detailed; textured or powder-coated for a truck that works. Either way we install to last, not just to look good in the parking lot.

Options we install

  • Grilles

    Chrome, black, or textured faces for a signature look.

  • Running boards / steps

    Easier in and out for bigger tires, durable for ranch work.

  • Floor liners

    Custom-fit to trap mud, salt, and meltwater.

  • Tow hitches

    Class-rated receivers for trailers and recovery.

  • Mud flaps

    Guards that keep mud, gravel, and road spray off the rockers and the trailer when you leave the pavement.

  • Snow brushes and ice scrapers

    For the rare Valley freeze and for trips north, so you clear the glass without scratching it.

How it compares

Chrome grabs attention but shows swirls; textured handles the work life. We'll match the finish to how you use the truck.

Common mistakes

  • Universal parts on a specific truck

    Universal grilles and steps need drilling and never sit quite right. Model-specific fits.

  • Bolting steps to the body

    Steps should mount to the frame or reinforced points, or they flex and rust.

  • Chrome on a work truck

    Chrome pits from dust and salt. Textured finishes survive a working life.

  • Cheap floor liners

    Thin universal mats curl and leak. Custom-fit liners trap everything.

Frequently asked questions

Do grilles need a calibration?

Most are bolt-on; some with sensors need a quick relearn.

Are running boards worth it?

Yes if you run bigger tires — safer in and out.

Do floor liners fit all trucks?

We cut to fit your exact cab and bed.

What hitch class do I need?

We size it to your trailer weight — Class 2 through 5.

Do running boards fit with a lift?

Yes, and they make a lifted truck much easier to get into. We size them to the lift.

Will a grille affect my sensors?

Some do. We recalibrate front sensors so your driver aids keep working.

How do I keep chrome looking new?

Wash it often and avoid abrasive polishes. In the Valley, dust and salt pit chrome fast.

How much do running boards cost?

Running boards and steps run about $400–$1,200 installed, depending on length and finish. Floor liners are $100–$300, and tow hitches are $400–$1,500 depending on class.
