Built for Work and Weekends: Summer Parts & Accessories Every Chevrolet Owner Should Know About

Posted on July 23, 2025

Whether you're towing your boat to Lake Couchiching, hauling supplies for a job in Severn, or planning a weekend camping trip up Highway 11, your Chevrolet is more than just a vehicle — it’s your summer workhorse and adventure companion.
 
At Orillia Chevrolet, we believe every driver should get the most out of their vehicle — not just with what’s under the hood, but with the right accessories and add-ons that match their lifestyle. From functional upgrades to travel-enhancing features, here’s your guide to the top Chevrolet parts and accessories to explore this summer.
 

Best-Selling Chevrolet Accessories for Work & Utility

Summer’s a busy time for contractors, landscapers, and business owners across Simcoe County. Chevrolet trucks like the Silverado 1500 and Colorado are built to perform — and with the right accessories, they become even more versatile.
 

Top Work-Ready Add-Ons:

• Spray-in Bed Liners & Bed Mats: Protect your investment from heavy loads and equipment.
• WeatherTech® Floor Liners: Perfect for muddy boots or dusty work sites.
• Ladder Racks & Tool Boxes: Organize your truck bed and free up cab space.
• Remote Start Systems: Beat the summer heat by cooling down your cabin before the workday starts.
• All-Season Wiper Blades: Stay prepared for sudden storms on rural roads.

 

Installation Available: All accessories can be installed by certified GM technicians right here at Orillia Chevrolet — saving you time and ensuring a perfect fit.
 

Family & Travel Essentials: Make Every Trip Easier

Heading to Bass Lake for a family picnic? Taking the grandkids up to Wasaga Beach? Your Chevrolet SUV — whether it’s a Traverse, Tahoe, or Equinox — has the room to roam. But with the right accessories, you can turn “plenty of space” into maximum comfort and convenience.
 

Top Family-Friendly Upgrades:

• Roof Rails & Crossbars: Free up trunk space and bring bikes, kayaks, or a rooftop cargo box.
• Rear-Seat Entertainment Systems: Keep kids occupied on long drives — great for road trips.
• Portable Cooler Consoles: Keeps snacks and drinks cold for day trips and picnics.
• USB Charging Kits: Add more ports for smartphones, tablets, and gaming devices.
• Cargo Nets & Storage Organizers: Secure your gear and keep things tidy, even on bumpy roads.

 
These add-ons help you make the most of every weekend getaway — and keep passengers happy along the way.
 

Chevrolet Towing Accessories: Confidence for Cottage Life

Many Orillia drivers use their Chevrolet to tow campers, fishing boats, ATVs, or utility trailers. And while your vehicle might be equipped with raw power, having the right towing equipment makes a big difference in safety and control.
 

Smart Towing Essentials:

• Trailer Brake Controllers: Smooth, safe stops for heavier loads.
• Trailering Mirrors: Boost visibility and reduce blind spots.
• Hitch Guidance Camera Systems: Easily align your trailer solo — especially handy at busy launch ramps.
• Tow Hitch Packages: OEM kits with the wiring, mounts, and structural support you need.
• Transmission Coolers (select models): Help keep your truck in peak condition on long uphill pulls or hot days.

 
Orillia Chevrolet stocks GM-certified towing gear, with experts ready to match the right setup to your model and trailer weight — and install it for you.
 

Seasonal Must-Haves for Summer-Only Driving

Some parts aren’t needed year-round, but they make a big difference for Ontario summers. Whether you're maximizing comfort or protecting your vehicle from the elements, these seasonal upgrades are worth considering.
 

Quick Wins:

• Window Deflectors: Crack the windows for airflow without letting in rain.
• Sun Shades: Keep your cabin cooler while parked at the dock or store.
• Bug Deflectors: Especially helpful on long drives or rural roads.
• Tire Storage Services: Store your winter set while your all-seasons are on — ask about our secure storage options.
