SIX mods EVERY truck owner should do first! F150 F250 F350

Easy mods for F250 Super Duty

[SuperDutyXL]

I like the mods; think I’ll do the tailgate strut. The trailer chain connection points are corrected on my 2023 F350 . My headlamps are LEDs already. Great video again. Appreciate you show the details on how to do something instead of assuming everyone knows already.

"You can see what shape it is" lol... Shaped like freedom to me! Very cool

Amazing video. Another suggestion that is often overlooked; getting seat covers for all the seats (front and back). Decent sets for them can be had for $25 to $30, to preserve wear/tear, and prevent staining of cloth seats.
Also, several models of F150s don't come with locking gas latches. This is remedied for only $11 with an amazon locking gas cap plus keys.

Just buying an F350 and saw this video thank you so much for the suggestions simple cheap but really make a difference. You are 100% right!!

I was thinking that this video wouldn’t be that great (mods for under thirty dollars, really) boy was I wrong!! This was a great video and I now want some of these items especially the tailgate shock! Thank you and have a wonderful day!!

One thing you may have forgotten is the $12.00 mod they you attach to the rear de re overs side ‘seat back’ allowing for a shoebox leash to grab, which brings the back of the rear seat forward very easily. It’s amazing how much one can store back there!

I bought a steam cleaner for my truck for around $30. It makes cleaning the interior so easy. You can also use it for your rims.

All great tips and ideas. Items are constantly sliding everywhere in my pickup. I purchased a cheap console organizer and that is one of my best upgrades to date. The console is so deep so it improves that tremendously.

The tailgate strut and hammer locks are very cool. You would think for $75k, Ford could nut up and include a damped tailgate. As for the fog lights, if you really want them to work best in fog, get the lower temp version. Amber light doesn't penetrate better, but the human eye sees that color temperature better. It's why off road race cars have them on the rear, as they can be seen from a greater distance (in the dust) than standard tail lights. The same concept works when looking forward through fog or dust. Great video!

You could get a "Rubber Mast" antenna or a "Shorty" antenna which is a 8 inch version of the long factory antenna..I've had my "Bullet" antenna stolen so make sure you put a little dab of Red Lock Tite on the threads

Ok....this just became a "SAVED" video for future reference. Well done!

You should talk about improving the AC condensate drain. It’s behind the front passenger wheel. Stock one is horizontal (on my 2019) and can leak back into the passenger compartment, ruining your carpet. Glue a 3/4” elbow on it and it’s fixed. It’s a common problem and as of 2 years ago hasn’t been fixed by ford.

The most annoying thing with those Ford tailgates is the fact that it collects rain water like a gutter and promptly soaks you every time you open it. Whoever designed that was no man. Also, it should have had a gas shock to begin with. The same guy made the safety chain holes. Ridiculous.

[robcarr]

You didn't even finish talking about the fog lights and I had to buy them. I live in upstate NY and we have TONS of deer. 🙏🙏

[slawdawg]

Awesome add ons. Thanks for the tips. I did all five except the towing bolt on since I don't tow. Keep up the good work!

[Iammrstclair]

One of the first items I got for my 2019 STX was that bullet antenna. The second purchase was the ‘BuiltRight Industries Rear Seat Release’, for the left side seat back. Because Ford, for some reason, doesn’t think it’s is necessary to easily release that seat back.

Followed your link to the console cover, brilliant our German shepherd always tries to go over it to the front seat .Maybe he would drive better than some I see😂

[G.I.JeffsWorkbench]

Great tips. Shocked at how low priced yet huge improvements. Thanks for sharing.

[itsneight]

Tailgate Strut mod is AWESOME! Didn't know you could add one like that! Thumbs UP for that!!!

[robgrubb]

loved the child netting in the backseat, genius!
