2026 XLT 4K tow pack newb here!

[Knucklehead729]

Hello, I'm new here. I am getting a lot of great info on this new truck I bought.
I am coming from a 2001 Mazda B2500, so this is a huge leap in Comfort, safety, and quality.
I am looking for your input. I want to build this as a nice-looking truck that I can still use to go camping when I want to book it to Daytona for the bike rallies every year, or to the mountains in Tennessee. For now, I want to make it my own.

Here is my list of what I want so far. If anyone has input on what to add and what not to do, please feel free!

Window tint (installed)
All-weather floor mats (installed)
Tailgate Dampener (installed)
Spray-in bed liner (installed)
Bed mat for protecting the spray-in bed liner.
Front Bug Shield from Mabett with the led's
Mabett fender badge LED lights
Change all Halogens to LED's
Mud flaps by rokblokz (ordered)
Dash mat (Ordered)
Window rain visors
Diode Dynamics Elite Fog Light Kit
Rear lowering kit to remove factory rake (down the road)
Either 18x8.5 or 19x8.5 Rims and tires (Down the road)
Chase Rack?
Hood Struts by Redline
FORScan mods (add 4 blink lane change blinkers instead of 3, when the fog light kit is installed turn on Bambi mode, add FX4 Off Road drive modes)
300T Package or a tune to get more HP out of the stock motor (Down the road)
Exhaust (down the road)
3rd Brake light spoiler?
Tailgate spoiler?
Inside rear seat trash can instead of the cheap cup holder (ordered)
3rd Brake light bracket for Starlink?
I have the XLT Lux package, so I have the inverter; is there a way to make that more usable when the truck is off? I have looked into aux batteries, but is that the only way to go?
Undershield for making oil changes easier.
Oil catch can- is that needed?
Blow-off valve?
More to come, but that's it for now.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome! Great 1st post, you remembered to include a pic, so you're off to a great start.

Enjoy the new ride, great list of upgrades you've got there.

Very nice Mav! What brand LED bulbs did you go with? Any hyper flash?

Looks good! I would recommend a strip of paint protection film on the edge of the roof right above the windshield. This area is prone to getting stone chips and then rusting.

Welcome & congrats!

For the factory tie down bracket that had to be removed from the tailgate to fit the assist strut - there are options for a replacement tie down point that works with the strut. I have one available that I make and sell.

Works well and clears the new strut and no issues with the cable. And made in the USA by a fellow Maverick owner. I have a thread here in the For Sale forum. Don't lose a tie-down point!
