YOUR XL HYBRID BED UPGRADES?

[nicemaverick]

Hi everyone, I Just got my maverick XL, and it's bone stock. Right now I would like to add a tow hitch. And upgrade my bed cubby. I would like to see what everyone's upgrades have done to their bed. Please leave pictures and links. This will help others that wanna upgrade their Maverick XL.

Man. Too bad you didn’t option the tow hitch for $100 from Ford. Installing it now is over $600.

@LShaped210 unfortunately I had to buy mine off a private seller.

I currently have an order in for a bare bones XL Hybrid. Here's my basic upgrade plan:

1. Get a liner sprayed in
2. DIY some LED light strips
3. Get a tonneau cover that fits these criteria:
   1. Ball bearing slider
   2. Doesn't block window at all
   3. Locks securely
   4. Supports a rack system above the cover
   5. Something like this - link
4. Paint the steel wheels black (truck is Cactus Gray)
   1. Eventually get some lighter/better looking alloy wheels
5. Black out the chrome around the logos with these
   1. I'm going for the cheap-o DIY blackout look, I don't like the silver and chrome with the Cactus Grey color
6. Window tint

Regarding the hitch, I took the advice to ditch it to get my order fulfilled. Unfortunately, I've learned it's a pain to add it aftermarket and tapping in to the nearby wiring might cause a warranty issue. I'm thinking about amending my order and having Ford add it.

Put a bed rug on the bed, added a cubby on the left side to help block the dirt from the wheels, and sprayed Dupli Color clear bed liner to protect the sides. Added lightswitch and two led bars at the rear to shine forward

along with a 12v outlet, usb port amd a voltmeter. Tonneau cover and tailgate assist. My hitch was put on at factory. May get a full cover bed rug in the future.
