What camping accessories are actually worth buying for a GMC Canyon AT4X? I’m planning a few weekend trips around Colorado this summer, mostly forest roads and established campsites, and want to keep the setup practical rather than turn the truck into a full overland rig. I’ve read that a bed rack and tonneau cover are a good starting point, but owners seem split on whether they work well together, especially with the short bed. I’ve got about $1,500 to spend for now. What gear have you found genuinely useful, and what ended up being more hassle than it was worth?

I’d skip the rack for now and prioritize a quality bed mat, tie-downs, compact air compressor, and recovery boards. Be careful mixing tonneaus and racks; short-bed clearance gets annoying fast.
