The more you drive, the more likely that the parts in your truck will wear down over time. That’s why it’s a good idea to have your truck checked out periodically.

When you take a preventative approach to auto care, you can have potential issues fixed or replaced before they become major headaches. However, when shopping for Nissan parts for your truck, it’s very important that you choose wisely.

Know Your Auto Parts

If it’s time to have something replaced in your truck – or perhaps you’re looking to have an accessory or two installed – you have two choices when it comes to parts: OEM and aftermarket.

OEM Parts

Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts are made by carmakers. When your Nissan truck came off the assembly line, it contained nothing but OEM components. If, for example, you drive a Nissan Titan, all of its parts were designed and built specifically for your model.

Aftermarket Parts

Aftermarket parts are not made by carmakers. Instead, they are built by third-party parts companies, which means they’re often cheaper than OEM parts.

However, the downside to aftermarket parts is that they don’t provide the best fit, given that they’re not designed for just one make and model. Aftermarket parts are intended to work in a variety of different vehicles, so they aren’t designed to offer the best performance. Plus, they have a tendency to wear out faster.
