HOW WE RATE
Review Categories
Every product is rated across five key areas that matter most to professional drivers on the road.
Build Quality
Materials, construction, and how well it handles the vibrations and temperature extremes of a working cab.
Ease of Use
Setup time, menu navigation, and how intuitive it is to operate while on the move or during a quick break.
Value for Money
Price versus performance. Does it deliver enough for what you pay, and are there hidden subscription costs?
Features
What it does beyond the basics. GPS logging, night vision, voice control, app connectivity, and extras that earn their keep.
Durability
How well it lasts over months and years of daily use. Heat resistance, cable quality, mount strength, and long-term reliability.

Top Rated
Nextbase 622GW Dashcam
Dashcam | 4K Ultra HD
“Best dashcam on the market. 4K, what3words, image stabilisation. Worth every penny. The emergency SOS feature gives you proper peace of mind on nights. Footage is crystal clear even in the dark.”

Garmin Dezl LGV1010 Satnav
Satnav | 10″ Truck Specific
“Made for truckers. Custom routing for vehicle size. Live traffic is brilliant. The 10-inch screen is massive and the height/weight/length restrictions actually work properly. Never sent me down a dodgy lane.”

TomTom GO Expert 7
Satnav | 7″ Truck Specific
“Good truck satnav. Decent screen. Garmin still edges it on HGV routing but the TomTom interface is slicker. WiFi updates are dead handy. Suction mount is solid. Good value if you can’t stretch to the Garmin.”

Best Budget
Viofo A129 Pro Duo Dashcam
Dashcam | Front + Rear
“Budget king. Front + rear for less than a Nextbase front-only. Great night vision. The parking mode is a bonus. Only gripe is the app can be a bit flaky on Android but the footage quality is spot on for the price.”

Quad Lock Phone Mount
Phone Mount | Vibration Dampened
“Rock solid. Vibration dampened. Phone never moves even on rough roads. The twist-lock mechanism is quick and secure. Had mine two years now across three different wagons and it’s still perfect. Buy the case + mount kit.”

Midland Alan 48 CB Radio
CB Radio | 40 Channel AM/FM
“Reliable CB for UK trucking. Not the fanciest but does the job well. Clear reception on channel 19, compact unit that fits in any cab. Still the best way to get traffic info from other drivers. Old school but it works.”

Ring RTC1000 Tyre Inflator
Accessory | 12V Tyre Inflator
“Fast inflation, accurate gauge. Essential bit of kit for any cab. The preset pressure feature means you set it and forget it. Saved me twice at services when tyre pressure was low. Stores neatly in the locker.”

Cobra MR HH350 Handheld Radio
Handheld Radio | Waterproof
“Decent handheld. Good range. Battery life could be longer. Useful for yard work and when you need to communicate outside the cab. Waterproof rating is a bonus in British weather. Carry a spare battery though.”
