You need the Ford Aeroskin Hood Protector, made by Lund. It's $79 on Ford Parts. To protect the leading edge of your hood from rock chips.
I'm not a fan of glueing things to the hood, I wish they made a bolt on option.

Tailgate assist
I thought about the assist, but others said that tailgate was light enough so it wasn't needed. Do you have one? How do you like it?

Have a tinted curtain put on the windshield when you get the front windows tinted. $50 more or less.
I have a tinted visor on my WRX currently. I was thinking about a tinted visor on the Maverick or transparent tinting the whole windshield to help with heat transfer, it's hot in FL lol.

Tonneau cover

T Slot rails for bed crossbars

Bed Crossbars

Hitch cover of appropriate style.

Keyfob Protector

Bottle of size /style to fit elusive door pockets
No rails/crossbars for me, I'm putting dirt bikes in the back. I have a hitch cover already (actually got it last year when I though I was going to receive a Maverick soon lol) but the water bottle sized for the door pockets is a great idea. Do you know if any brands that fit?

First, Congratulations! on getting the Mav Built.
A lot of folks like to get the short antenna to replace the longer stock antenna.
What's the benefit of switching it out: looks? stronger signal?

I have always had the dark band applied to the AS-1 mark on my windshields, it does reduce glare from the low winter sun. To those that are going to apply ceramic tint, does it reduce glare as much as a dark band? I don't see how as I equate a dark band to help reduce glare.

A tinted windshield visor band helps reduce sun glare. Tinting the complete windshield (clear) helps reduce heat transfer into the cabin. Two separate things, not sure if they can be combined.

I think it’s a critical upgrade. The tailgate is light but is also at toddler head level and I like to open it and walk away or have other shit in my hands and can’t hold it. Its a small price for convenience.

I have the hood lead edge guard without the wings. Looks nice doesn't stick up and when washing the truck this summer, only God knows how many micro paint chips it prevented. Bugs get big around here in the middle of the summer.

I am a big fan of convenience, I'll add it to the list!

Im not buying anything until its parked in my driveway. I dont trust the dealer that much.
Neither did I. Most of my accessories were not ordered until the truck hit terra firma at the dealership.

Don't forget giant speakers to put in place of the rear seats to rearrange the cells in your brain and annoy all the other drivers.
