If you’re thinking about adding a truck cap, tonneau cover, or upgrading your truck setup, this might be the most important blog post you read this spring. And if you’re reading this in West Bend or anywhere nearby, you’ll want to act fast.
Why?
Because prices on truck accessories are going up. Soon. The truck accessories price increase folks are about to face is no joke.
We just got word from both Leer and Ranch, two of the biggest names in truck caps and accessories, that a new round of tariff-related price increases are on the way. According to their notice:
“Due to ongoing and increasing global tariffs on aluminum, fiberglass components, and related hardware, we will be adjusting prices very soon.”
Translated: the cost to make truck caps, tonneau covers, hinges, and even smaller hardware accessories is going up, and that means you’ll be paying more unless you beat the increase.
And if history tells us anything, these prices don’t usually go back down.
So What Does This Mean for You?
If you’ve been on the fence about getting a cap or cover for your truck, or you’ve been eyeing some accessories for your work rig or weekend toy hauler, now’s the time to lock it in.
Because let’s be honest. You use your truck for more than grocery runs and hauling mulch. Whether it’s for work, your weekend hunting trip, or keeping your dog dry while you hit the trails out in the Kettle Moraine, a good setup turns your truck into a Swiss Army knife.
And you shouldn’t have to pay more just because of trade politics. The truck accessories price increase West Bend customers are facing is creeping closer every day.
What’s Causing This Price Hike?
It’s all about tariffs. In the simplest terms, tariffs are taxes the government places on imports. Right now, certain materials that Leer and Ranch rely on like aluminum, fiberglass, hinges, and some sealant hardware, are facing steeper tariffs.
That raises their production costs. And like a bad game of hot potato, that cost gets passed along until it lands squarely in your lap.
These aren’t made-up excuses. This is straight from the manufacturers themselves.
And it’s not just Leer and Ranch. We’ve seen it before with tonneau covers, hitches, and even accessories like bed rugs and mud flaps. When tariffs go up, prices follow.
Why Shop Now?
Because we still have inventory in stock that hasn’t been affected by the new pricing yet.
Here’s the deal:
- Secure current pricing before the tariff hike hits.
- Get expert install from folks who do this every single day.
- Beat the spring rush. Once prices rise, so does demand from folks who waited too long.
If you wait too long, you’ll be caught in the middle of the truck accessories price increase West Bend buyers are trying to avoid.
Wait Too Long, and You’re Paying More for the Same Gear
It’s like gas prices before a holiday weekend. Everyone says they’ll fill up later, and next thing you know, that $3.19 just jumped to $3.89.
We don’t like playing pricing games, and we sure don’t enjoy telling our customers that prices went up overnight. But this one’s out of our hands.
If you want to get ahead of the increase, come in this week. Not next week. Not after your buddy gets his gear. This week.
