Tailgate-GrillShow Your Colors

If you want a tailgate that really shines, be sure you’re letting everyone know who your favorite team is. There are many tailgating products and accessories that let you do so. Show off your favorite team or mascot by using magnets that adhere to your vehicle or using vinyl graphics. For optimal flair, try sporting a team flag. Not only will your team colors fly high, but it can also help friends and family locate the party!

 

Bring On the Food, but Forget the Mess

Tailgates are synonymous with lots of delicious and messy foods. Make sure your truck bed or SUV cargo area stays neat and tidy by using cargo mats! This way, any crumbs or spills won’t have the chance to stain your interior, and the mats are easily removable for a quick cleanup when the party’s over.

 

Make Some Noise

Tailgates come in all shapes and sizes, but if you’re the type that likes to go big or go home, we suggest bringing speakers or a TV for a bold celebration. Portable speakers let you play your favorite tunes from anywhere, and most can last up to 10hrs on a full charge, so you’ll be set for the day.

Make sure to consider power sources when you bring the big screen. These days most electronics come with power converters that enable them to work with a vehicle’s DC lighter. If it doesn’t require an alternative power source, turn up the volume and watch on!

Create Some Shade

Even in early fall, the Louisiana heat can wreak havoc on partygoers and guests at a tailgate. Nobody likes sunburns or warm beverages, so consider investing in a collapsible canopy or umbrella to produce some shade for your guests.

 

Use That Hitch!

From packing food, drinks, chairs, tables and more for a tailgate celebration, it’s easy to run out of room in your vehicle. Add some storage space with an installed hitch and cargo carrier! Lockable models also offer superior security when you have to leave your vehicle unattended.

On top of cargo additions, there are many tailgating accessories that are compatible with a hitch! Grills, tables, and other products can sit or attach to the hitch, making tailgating easier and for economical for space. And remember, whatever hitch accessory you choose, always be sure they don’t block your turn signals or brake lights for optimal safety on the road.

 

No matter what vehicle you drive or team you support, tailgates are always better with preparation. When you outfit your vehicle with convenient gadgets and stay organized during the event, you ‘ll have more time to enjoy yourself during the party. If your vehicle isn’t the ideal tailgate partner and you’d like to trade up, stop by our lot today to find a better match!
