    VIOFO A129 Pro Duo Dash Cam

    viofo.com
    Look, if you don't have a dash cam, you're asking for trouble. This VIOFO is a solid choice, 4K front and 1080p rear, uses a CAPACITOR so it won't melt in the heat like those cheap battery cams. Captures everything, day and night. Protect your assets.

    Thinkware U3000 Dash Cam

    thinkwarestore.com
    For those who want to go all out, the U3000 is top tier. 4K with a Sony STARVIS 2 sensor, so you can actually read license plates at night, not just see blurry shapes. Plus, it's got built-in RADAR for parking surveillance, which is just smart.

    BlackVue DR970X-2CH Dash Cam

    blackvue.com
    Another premium option, if you want that CLOUD connectivity... so you can check on your SUV from your recliner. 4K front, good quality, but you'll probably pay a premium for those remote features. Still, good for peace of mind if some knucklehead dings your parked car.

    Tymate TPMS M12-3 (Wireless Solar TPMS)

    tymatetpms.com
    Tire pressure. Critical, people. Don't be that guy stranded on the side of the road with a blowout that could've been avoided. This wireless TPMS charges with solar, shows you REAL-TIME pressure and temperature. Stops you from ignoring those low pressure warnings.

    Accele AVS1300 Blind Spot Monitoring System

    accele.com
    SUVs have blind spots, it's just a fact. And given how many people drift lanes without looking... this aftermarket system can save you a world of hurt. Radar-based, so it's not just some cheap camera. Helps you see the idiots you know are there.

    Garmin BC 50 Wireless Backup Camera

    garmin.com
    Backing up an SUV, especially a big one, is a pain if you don't have a clear view. This Garmin camera gives you HD resolution and a wide 160-degree field of view, even has a night vision option. Less chance of hitting a kid's bike... or, you know, another car.

    NOCO Boost Plus GB40 Jump Starter

    no.co
    Not for *your* battery, obviously, because you maintain your vehicle. But for when some inconsiderate driver leaves their lights on and needs a jump... or when your own kid inevitably forgets to turn something off. 1000A, good for gas up to 6L, diesel up to 3L. Keep it in the trunk.

    Bouncie OBD GPS Car Tracker

    bouncie.com
    Want to know where your SUV is at all times? Or, more likely, where your TEENAGER is driving it? This plugs right into the OBD-II port, gives you real-time tracking, driving habits, even crash detection. For peace of mind... or for busting your kid's joyrides.

    ANCEL AD310 OBD2 Scanner

    amazon.com
    Your Check Engine Light comes on and you don't want to get fleeced by a mechanic for a simple diagnostic. This little gadget plugs in, reads the codes, and tells you what's wrong. Simple, functional, saves you money. Don't be a bozo, get one.
  10. 10

    AUTO-VOX T2 Backup Camera Monitor Mirror

    auto-vox.com
    Replaces your entire rearview mirror with a screen that shows your backup camera feed. OEM look, so it's not some ugly add-on. Offers super night vision and a wide view, making parking way less stressful. Less neck craning, more seeing.
  11. 11

    Ring Car Cam

    ring.com
    Dual-facing HD cameras, road and cabin, with real-time alerts. So if someone's messing with your SUV while it's parked, you get a notification. Cloud storage (with subscription, naturally) and GPS location. Good for monitoring, but watch out for those subscription fees.

    ZUS Smart Vehicle Health Monitor Mini (Gen 4)

    nonda.co
    Plugs into your OBD-II port, monitors engine health, battery, and even helps clear those annoying check engine codes. It logs your trips too, which can be handy. Basically, it helps you keep tabs on your SUV's vitals without needing a mechanic for every little thing.
