Truck upgrades you like and dislike
Posted on 4/16/18 at 8:12 pm
Posted on 4/16/18 at 8:12 pm
I searched for a truck for 5 months and naturally the more I looked the more upgrades I thought I wanted. I finally bought a F150 at the end of December and here are my likes/dislikes on some of the upgrades.
Dislikes
Moon roof: I never use it. Waste of an upgrade IMO.
Power deployable running boards: Annoying when you just need to grab something out of your truck quickly. I have hit my shin a couple of times. They are nice but not something that had to be a must.
FX4: These are extra skid plates and stronger shocks. 4x4 would have worked for me.
Park assist: Again it is nice when I parrell parl which is rare. Just something I could do without.
Pro Trailer back up: Tried it once and I hate it so far. Just easier for me to do it the old fashion way.
Likes
Adapative cruise control. Easily my most used upgrade. I use it everytime I drive except for when I’m pulling something.
Massage seats. My biggest surprise. I was against these for a long time b/c I thought they might make me too relaxed and I would fall asleep. Heated seats with a seat massage is great. I use them on long distances and my wife loves them.
Tailgate step up and 36 gallon gas tank.
FordPass: It is nice starting your engine from anywhere. I have started it several times from being out of range to begin cooling off or heating up the interior many times. And I have already remotely unlocked my truck for people who needed to get in my truck and I did not want to hand them my keys.
What are yalls likes/dislikes for upgrades?

A/c seats. There is nothing like having a cool crotch on a hot Louisiana day.

I have more rock dings on my rocker panels with the electric running boards than I had with the fixed ones. Like the tailgate step, power rear window, box lights, cooled seats. Heated steering wheel is one I could live without. Opted to not get the adaptive cruise control, hate it on my wife’s car. Adaptive steering is pretty cool for boat launches / parking lots. Can’t stand the gaudy KR and Plat exterior pieces, so I built a lariat with everything I wanted. But sadly no option for the massage seats on the lariat. They sound nice.

Forgot a few other likes. 360 camera package and auto wipers are also on my like list.

Mine is an LT from 04, which surprisingly came with a lot of features that new vehicles tout. Chicks dig the heated seats for sure.
The upgrades I've added that I like are:
Brush guard (haven't had time to build a bumper)
Side steps (need to build new ones)
Floor mats
Bigger fuel tank
Toolbox
Backup lights in rear bumper
Backup camera
Line-X
I have had all of those, except for the bigger tank and backup camera, in every truck I've owned. All of them in the future will have that stuff

I thought the same thing until I used them for a couple of months. Now I am wondering if first class seats have them on airplanes and if they do, it probably is worth the upgrade.

None on my truck, but would have no use for a moonroof.

As Chappy said, A/C seats. It’s awesome.
If you have them you will never be without them again.
I have the adaptive cruise control. Hate it. Always turn it off.

Can't use the key pad features on the f250s so it's pretty much pointless.

Got used to using the key to start my F250, but kind of rather the push button start and smart lock/unlock on my F150 now. Pretty handy this morning when I had lunch, my son's bat bag and cleats, and my extra clothes and shoes to change in to after work. Also that heated steering wheel is the GOAT on cold mornings.

I finally bought a F150
Best upgrade I can think of is trading it in for a Sierra

Trucks have massage seats these days? No wonder they're asking 50k for them these days. You baws are driving around in a spa.
