Also known as a truck bed cover, a tonneau cover protects the cargo in your truck bed from harsh winds, rain, and potential thieves. It also streamlines airflow over the bed, effectively reducing drag and improving fuel economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find all sorts of tonneau covers on the market, such as hard, soft, rolling, and folding covers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Top Picks:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/tonneau-cover\/jc-whitney\/jr58330007\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"JC Whitney Tonneau Cover\">JC Whitney Tonneau Cover<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/tonneau-cover\/truxedo\/t70247601\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Truxedo 247601 Truxport Series Vinyl Tonneau Cover\">Truxedo 247601 Truxport Series Vinyl Tonneau Cover<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/tonneau-cover\/bestop\/d341617501\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Bestop 16175-01 EZ fold Series Leather Grained Vinyl Tonneau Cover\">Bestop 16175-01 EZ fold Series Leather Grained Vinyl Tonneau Cover<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tires and Wheels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Replace your vehicle&rsquo;s standard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/wheel-and-tire-package\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"tires\">tires<\/a> with low-rolling resistance ones, and you&rsquo;ll immediately notice an improvement in your car&rsquo;s aerodynamics and fuel efficiency.

Typically mounted on the rear of the vehicle, a car spoiler redirects the airflow over the car&rsquo;s body. This produces a downforce that keeps the vehicle on the ground when driving at high speeds. In doing so, the spoiler makes the car feel much more steady while improving its aerodynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When choosing a spoiler, you may want to research the best type of spoiler to get for your specific vehicle as some are mainly for looks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Top Picks:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/spoiler\/replacement\/reph611105\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Replacement Rear Spoiler\">Replacement Rear Spoiler<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/spoiler\/replacement\/n611107\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Replacement Spoiler &ndash; Primed, Plastic, Direct Fit\">Replacement Spoiler &ndash; Primed, Plastic, Direct Fit<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Diffuser<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to a spoiler, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/diffuser\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"diffuser\">diffuser<\/a> produces a downforce that improves a vehicle&rsquo;s stability and aerodynamics. However, instead of being mounted on the car&rsquo;s body like a spoiler, it&rsquo;s strategically mounted underneath the car&rsquo;s rear. It creates low pressure under the car, reducing drag and boosting aerodynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are different types of diffusers on the market, so you&rsquo;re sure to find one that best suits your preferences. Just make sure your vehicle has under-vehicle covers as well because sometimes, those also help with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Top Picks:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/diffuser\/akrapovic\/akrdibmca3g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Akrapovic DI-BM\/CA\/3\/G Rear Carbon Fiber Diffuser\">Akrapovic DI-BM\/CA\/3\/G Rear Carbon Fiber Diffuser<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/diffuser\/akrapovic\/akrdipoca3g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Akrapovic DI-PO\/CA\/3\/G Rear Carbon Fiber Diffuser\">Akrapovic DI-PO\/CA\/3\/G Rear Carbon Fiber Diffuser<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>When getting an automotive diffuser, make sure your vehicle has its under-vehicle covers as well because sometimes, these help the diffuser.<\/p>\n<cite>&ndash;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/author\/anthonyharlin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Anthony Harlin, ASE Certified Master Automobile Technician\">Anthony Harlin, ASE Certified Master Automobile Technician<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Roof Rack Wind Fairing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While roof racks greatly increase storage space, they can also increase air drag.

Mud flaps keep dirt, snow, and other debris from sticking to a vehicle&rsquo;s body and chassis while reducing air resistance.
