What are the best accessories or mods you've done?

So far, no mention of an audio upgrade. I don't have my Maverick yet but upgrading the audio is on my short list. I thought that'd be more popular than a tailgate dampener.

I don’t mind the stock radio. I used to install for a living, for about 10 years of my young adult life. I find it balanced and enough for someone like me who doesn’t crank it anymore. Also, the tailgate damper, to me is not needed. You lose a great tie down spot for sheet goods and I could close the super light tailgate with a finger.

I’ve been rocking a convex mirror for 28yrs. Since I was 16 and found one at a flea market. I still have my original one which never went with a car I sold.

Just thought of another “silly?” Mod. As easy as it is to scratch the interior plastic, I added felt to the points where the buckles hit. I noticed that mr drivers side buckle was scratching my center console so I bought the felt tape. I found out that they simply forgot the felt tape on the drivers side buckle as the passenger side already and it. Then just added it to the B pillar since the seatbelt flies that way when getting out.

I'm sure it depends on the model, but can you set the dash cam to be motion-sensitive? Rather than worrying about being hit on the highway, I'm more concerned about getting hit or dinged while I'm in a store and someone doing it and taking off.

Yes, there are multiple options for parked dashcam modes depending on the brand/model you buy.
Motion, always on, bump detection, I'm sure there's others.

The stubby antenna was awful for me, especially for HD radio. Returned it.

Not going to sacrifice functionality for looks.

Kills me man, cause I -do- like the look of it. The price I pay for living in the boonies....

I'm semi-serious about that antenna though.

Did you go with the combo package?

I didn't, I'd already ordered LEDs for the other lights and took advantage of a Valentine's Day Sale they had on the Lasfit switchbacks afterwards.

It's on the list for me, but it's a bit more of a "lots of options, lots of decisions" kind of thing so I'm taking my time. Could just do drop-in replacements on the front two speakers, I've heard that helps a lot on it's own... or I could go all out, replace them all, amp, and a hideaway. Since I'm not sure, I'm holding off until I get that squared.

Tailgate dampener was $50 and the only decision was "do I get rid of a tie down".

The easy decisions get made easily, lol.

Yo, bless you I was just thinking about this today and how I was going to address the plastic-on-plastic warfare happening in my truck.

Here was my install for the Lasfit LED bulbs (switchback + 3rd brake light/cargo light):

Anyways, that was the first mod I done, the second was the drop in bed liner - haven't finished the sides yet, only installed the main floor, back side of cab, and tailgate.

Thank you!

All weather floor mats and window tints. No other mod/accessory I can think of will benefit me with this Truck. Unless I upgrade the manual adjusting mirrors on my XL to power adjustable mirrors in the future. I literally can't believe Ford was cheap enough to not give us power mirrors.

Hell, my 2005 base model Toyota Corolla CE with a manual transmission that I paid 12k for out the door in 05 had power mirrors.

Regarding the tie-down: I opted for the tailgate assist. I figured someone out there would come up with an alternate tie-down that doesn't interfere with the dampener. Alas, someone in the club has and apparently are selling them on the forum.
