Tailgating Tech: 8 Cool Must-Haves for Fall 2016 from Autotrader
1. Pickup-Bed Speakers in the Honda Ridgeline The 2017 Honda Ridgeline is an
audiophile's dream come true. This pickup boasts a fierce in-bed audio
system made up of six 10-watt waterproof exciters (think speakers on
steroids) built into the bed walls. Now, game-goers can soak up the
scores and the tunes on the outside -- no more rolling down the windows
to hear the tunes.

more bros on the road? The flip-back, third-row seat on a used Dodge
Grand Caravan is perfect for parties.

tailgaters need access to scores and social media updates on how teams
are faring. Chevy and GMC drivers will love the in-car, 4G LTE Wi-Fi,
which provides seamless Internet access on the go.
4. The Ford F-150You can't think of tailgating without thinking about the
Ford F-150. It boasts a roomy, LED-lit bed for storage, numerous
electrical outlets, and heated and cooled massage seats to add extra
comfort pre- or post-game.
5. RamBox StorageAh, sweet, sweet storage. It's there for us when we need
just a little more room to tote extra bags of chips and buckets of potato
salad. In the 2016 RAM 1500 pickup, the RamBox is your new bestie.
6. YETI Cooler with College LogoNo game-day bash is complete without some
cold ones and a YETI cooler. Even better? Showing your college spirit
with an officially licensed YETI cooler boasting the name of your alma
mater.

StarterSweet speakers, plus a powerful car-battery starter? Done and
done, thanks to Dreamwave Survivor, a high-performance 30-watt Bluetooth

long using its built-in 12,000-milliamp-hour lithium-polymer battery.
