Monster Energy Wheels, Cali Off-Road Wheels and Panther Wheels are All About Truck Wheels and Innovation

We are living in the golden age of the pickup truck. Once a vehicle found on farms and country roads, the pickup truck is as common today as hipster beards, man buns and open offices, only a heck of a lot more popular and acceptable.

Back in the day, trucks only served a utilitarian purpose, they were made to haul things around. And as such, they were void any necessary additions or luxuries. In fact, you were considered pretty darn lucky if your pickup truck had a radio capable of playing both AM and FM stations.

But that was a long time ago and things have sure changed since then. This, right here, right now, is the golden age of the truck. And here is the proof.

Truck Wheels

There was a time, not all that long ago really, that the only truck wheels you could buy were heavy-duty steel wheels. Quite simply, they didn't make fancy, aluminum wheels for trucks because nobody cares what a pickup truck looks like. The fancy wheel manufacturers made their money selling wheels that fit Chevy Camaros, Dodge Chargers and Ford Gran Torinos.

But today, today you have websites that devote most of their time and effort in selling truck wheels. And not only do you have manufacturers who expanded into truck wheels, you have manufacturers that specialize in truck wheels. Brands like Monster Energy Wheels, Cali Off-Road Wheels and Panther Wheels are all about truck wheels.

Trailer Back-Up Assist

One of the more difficult aspects of owning a trailer is backing them up. This proves to be most embarrassing, especially after boasting about the backing skills you possess, you promptly turn the wheel too aggressively and wind up jackknifing. In front of a crowd of onlookers no less.

Thanks to the innovative trailer back-up assist, all you have to do is input where you want the trailer to go and the rest is done for you. No steering by the driver is required.

360-Degree Camera

Ford offers a 360-degree camera that uses four cameras located on the tailgate, the grill and both side mirrors to create an image that shows every side of the truck. So even if you are driving a big truck, you will be able to navigate those challenging space quite easily.

LED Lighting

LED lighting is working its way into our trucks. LED lights offer a wider, brighter and more penetrating beam in front of you, behind you and next to you. There is even LED box lighting that helps you load and unload in the dark of night.

Park Assist

Active park Assist helps you with one the most hated aspects of driving: parallel parking. Once the sensors determine your truck will fit, the driver controls braking and acceleration while the truck comfortably and automatically steers you into the parking space. Easy-peasy.

Productivity Screen

There is nothing quite like sitting in the cab of your truck and checking the tire pressure on each wheel, gauging fuel efficiency and Reading trailer information. But that is just what the productivity screen is all about, knowing what is going on inside, outside and all around your truck.
