EDITORIAL W elcome to The Big Book of Buyer's Guides – the contractor's one-stop digital resource guide for aftermarket products and accessories that make pickups more efficient and perform better be it for work or play. Every issue of ProPickup contains at least one "buyer's guide" to some product category that's of great importance to those working in the contracting and construction trades. So just in case you missed an issue in 2011, we've pulled them all together into one easy-to-navigate resource: The Big Book. Inside you'll find more than 200 new products with contact information and links to the product manufacturer's web sites. From auxiliary lights to engine programmers, tonneau covers to locking differentials, bed racks to snow tires, heavy duty batteries to combo tool boxes, exhaust systems to bed liners, winches to wheels, we've got it covered. But The Big Book of Buyer's Guides is more than just a product catalog. Each buyer's guide within these pages is prefaced with valuable information to help make your purchase decision a good one. Our editors explain the ins and outs of how products work; what to look for in quality; what to expect in performance; installation tips; safety concerns; and other valuable information that will help make your purchase decision sound. In short: These are real buyer's guides, not just product showcases. We've even thrown in a few product reviews of new products our staff has jobsite-tested.
