The Nissan Navara is the kind of Ute that can have more than one job.
During the week, it might carry tools, equipment or everyday cargo. When the weekend arrives, the same Navara could be packed with luggage, camping gear or everything needed for a trip away.
That is why choosing accessories should start with how you actually use the vehicle.
You may want better coverage for the tub, more enclosed storage or extra carrying space. You might also be looking for a few simple upgrades that make everyday driving more comfortable.
EGR Auto offers a range of accessories for selected Nissan Navara models, including RollTrac covers, Load Shields, Canopies, rack options, Sports Bars, Weather Shields and Bonnet Protectors.
This guide looks at some simple ways to create a Navara setup that can work during the week and still be practical when the weekend comes around.
Note: Accessory compatibility can vary depending on the Nissan Navara model, year and vehicle configuration. Always check the relevant EGR product page before choosing an accessory.
Start With What Your Navara Needs During the Week
Before adding accessories, think about what normally goes into your Navara.
Do you carry tools or work equipment most days?
Do you need the tub to stay covered?
Do you sometimes need the full load area for larger items?
Or is the Navara mainly used for everyday driving with the occasional weekend trip?
Answering those questions can make choosing accessories much easier.
A good setup does not need to include every accessory available.
It just needs to make the vehicle easier to use for the things you already do.
Keep the Tub Flexible With an EGR RollTrac
For Navara owners who want covered tub storage while keeping easy access to the load area, an EGR RollTrac is one option to consider.
EGR auto currently offers both manual and Electric E3 RollTrac options for selected Nissan Navara models.
The advantage is flexibility.
During normal driving, the RollTrac can cover the tub. When you need more room for a larger load, you can open the cover and make better use of the space.
This can be useful when carrying:
- Tools and work equipment
- Shopping
- Luggage
- Camping gear
- Sports equipment
- Everyday cargo
For a Navara that needs to handle different jobs throughout the week, a retractable tub cover can provide a practical balance between coverage and access.

Choose an EGR Load Shield for a Solid Tub Cover
Some Navara owners may prefer a solid cover rather than a retractable one.
The EGR Load Shield provides a low-profile cover over the load area and is available for selected Nissan Navara models.
The current Navara MY21 Load Shield is also compatible with selected racking options, giving owners another way to add carrying space if needed.
A Load Shield can suit owners who normally carry items below tub height, such as:
- Toolboxes
- Bags
- Shopping
- Sports equipment
- Smaller camping items
- Everyday work gear
It can be a straightforward choice if you want the tub covered without adding the extra enclosed height of a Canopy.

Need More Room? Consider an EGR GEN3 Canopy
A tub cover works well when most of your gear stays below tub height.
But there are times when you simply need more enclosed storage.
An EGR GEN3 Canopy creates additional space above the Navara tub and is currently available for selected Nissan Navara models.
That extra room can be useful for:
- Work equipment
- Camping supplies
- Luggage
- Sporting gear
- Travel bags
- Larger everyday items
For work, the additional storage can make it easier to keep equipment together.
For weekends away, it can provide more room for luggage and gear without filling the cabin.
A Canopy makes the most sense when you genuinely need that additional storage height.

Add Carrying Space With Crossbars or a Platform Rack
Sometimes your tub setup is already working well, but you still need somewhere to carry more gear.
EGR Auto currently lists the EGR RollTrac Crossbar Kit and EGR Platform Rack within its Nissan Navara range.
Crossbars
Crossbars can provide a simple way to add carrying space above a compatible setup.
They may suit owners who only need additional capacity occasionally.
Platform Rack
A Platform Rack gives you a larger carrying area for suitable work or touring equipment.
It can be useful when you want to keep the tub available for other items or when larger gear would otherwise take up too much space.
Whatever rack setup you choose, always check the relevant fitment and load information before carrying equipment.
EGR Crossbars add extra carrying space above the Nissan Navara Load Shield while keeping the tub covered and practical for work or weekend use.
Add a Sports Bar to a Compatible RollTrac Setup
Once the main tub setup is sorted, some owners may want to change the look of the rear of the vehicle.
EGR currently offers an EGR RollTrac Sports Bar for the Nissan Navara MY21, along with a Sports Bar Adapter Kit for compatible setups.
A Sports Bar sits behind the cabin and gives the tub area a more distinctive appearance.
For owners already using a compatible RollTrac setup, it can be another way to personalise the Navara without changing the main purpose of the tub.
The important part is compatibility.
Always check that the Sports Bar and tub-cover setup are designed to work together before choosing the combination.
The EGR RollTrac Sports Bar adds a more distinctive rear-tub look to the Nissan Navara while complementing a compatible covered tub setup.
Simple Upgrades for Everyday Driving
Not every useful Navara accessory needs to be focused on storage.
A couple of smaller additions can also make everyday driving more comfortable or help protect commonly exposed areas of the vehicle.
EGR Slimline Weather Shields
EGR Slimline Weather Shields are available for the Nissan Navara 2021-onwards.
They allow the windows to be opened slightly while helping reduce rain and wind entering the cabin.
They can be useful when:
- You want extra ventilation
- It is raining lightly
- The vehicle has been sitting in warm weather
- You spend plenty of time driving
- The Navara is regularly used for work
It is a simple upgrade, but one that can be useful regularly.
EGR Bonnet Protector
EGR Auto also currently lists a Bonnet Protector within its Nissan Navara range.
A Bonnet Protector sits along the front edge of the bonnet and can add protection to an area that is regularly exposed while driving.
For a Navara that spends plenty of time on highways, regional roads or worksites, this can be a simple exterior addition.

Turning a Work Navara Into a Weekend Navara
One of the useful things about a Ute is that it does not need to have only one purpose.
A Navara used for work during the week can still be set up for weekends away.
The key is choosing accessories that can work in both situations.
A RollTrac can cover tools during the week and luggage on the weekend.
A Canopy can hold work equipment one day and camping gear the next.
Crossbars or a Platform Rack can provide additional carrying space whenever the tub is already full.
And smaller accessories such as Weather Shields can be useful whether you are heading to work or leaving town.
That flexibility is often more useful than building a setup around only one type of trip.
Which Nissan Navara Setup Makes Sense for You?
The decision can be kept simple.
Choose a RollTrac If...
You want covered storage but still want to open more of the tub when carrying larger loads.
Choose a Load Shield If...
Most of your cargo stays below tub height and you prefer a solid, low-profile cover.
Choose a Canopy If...
You regularly need more enclosed storage above the height of the tub.
Add a Rack If...
Your existing storage works well, but you sometimes need additional carrying space.
Add Everyday Accessories If...
Your storage setup already works and you simply want to improve comfort, protection or the overall look of the vehicle.
The right setup is not necessarily the one with the most accessories.
It is the one that works best with the way you actually use your Navara.
Build Your Navara Setup Over Time
You do not need to add everything at once.
Start with the biggest issue you have with the vehicle today.
If your gear regularly sits in an open tub, start by choosing the right type of cover.
If you constantly run out of enclosed storage, a Canopy may make more sense.
If your tub already works well but you occasionally need more carrying room, Crossbars or a Platform Rack could be the next step.
And if the main setup already suits you, smaller additions such as Weather Shields or a Bonnet Protector may be enough.
Building the vehicle gradually can help you choose accessories you will actually use.
Nissan Navara Accessories FAQs
What are useful accessories for a Nissan Navara?
Useful accessories depend on how you use your Navara.
A RollTrac or Load Shield can provide covered tub storage, while a Canopy can provide more enclosed space. Crossbars and rack options can add additional carrying capacity, while Weather Shields and a Bonnet Protector can add everyday benefits.
Is a RollTrac or Load Shield better for a Nissan Navara?
They suit different needs.
A RollTrac provides retractable tub coverage, while a Load Shield provides a solid, low-profile cover.
Think about what you normally carry and how often you need full access to the tub.
When should I choose a Canopy for my Navara?
A Canopy can make sense when you regularly need enclosed storage above tub height.
If most of your equipment fits comfortably below the top of the tub, a simpler cover may be enough.
Can you add racks to a Nissan Navara?
EGR currently lists Crossbar and Platform Rack options for compatible Nissan Navara setups. Always check the relevant product and vehicle fitment before choosing a rack.
Can you fit an EGR Sports Bar to a Nissan Navara?
EGR currently offers a RollTrac Sports Bar and Sports Bar Adapter Kit for selected Nissan Navara MY21 setups. Compatibility should always be checked before choosing the combination.
Do EGR accessories fit every Nissan Navara?
No.
Compatibility can vary depending on the Navara generation, model year, vehicle configuration and individual accessory.
Always check the relevant EGR product page before choosing a product.
Final Thoughts
A Nissan Navara can have very different jobs during the week and on the weekend.
That means the most useful accessories are the ones that help the vehicle adapt.
If you want flexible tub coverage, an EGR RollTrac may suit your setup.
If you prefer a solid tub cover, an EGR Load Shield gives you another option.
If you need more enclosed storage, an EGR GEN3 Canopy may make more sense.
From there, Crossbars or a Platform Rack can add additional carrying space, while a compatible Sports Bar can change the look of the tub area.
Weather Shields and a Bonnet Protector can then add simple everyday benefits.
The goal is not to fit as many accessories as possible.
It is to build a Navara that works for what you actually do — from Monday morning to the weekend.
