I just traded my 2021 XLT Sport (carbonized gray) for a 2023 Lariat FX4 Sport (Area 51) . When I bought my XLT, they only had 3 trucks on the lot, so I picked the one I liked most, knowing I would upgrade at some point. Since I now have, I am looking to do some mods. I have ordered or had some stuff already (bed cover, tailgate emblems, smaller antenna). There are a few things I would like to get, but have questions that can hopefully be answered first.

1. Can I upgrade the subwoofer on the B&O 8 speaker system with a plug and play one?
2. I like the Sport rims, but not the Hankook tires so much. What can I get tire wise (size) to replace them with? And what brands are recommended.
3. Is there a 3 piece overlay for the Lariat grille? I found a simple overlay for just the middle strip, but not the whole interior part, if that makes sense.

Any help would be appreciated, and I am open to other mod suggestions. Thanks.

The Hankook tires are surprisingly good on road but as stated need to know your use. I plan to go to wildpeak eventually.

A vinyl shop can probably do what you want on grille. I went with body color tufskinz center strip and I'm happy with it.

I have never owned a 4X4 before, so as of now I'm not really sure how I will use it. My sons (3 of them) encouraged me to get that option. I guess in hoping we will go off roading in it.

I believe this is a plug and play solution:

For tires, I also still have the Sport wheels but swapped out the Hankook for Nokian Outpost ATs. The Hankook were actually pretty great overall and a few of us agreed that we kind of expected to find something wrong with them but just didn't.

Nice, Groovicles, thanks. That looks like a good soultion. I have been looking at pics on here, and I do really like how it looks after the level. So, I believe that will be on the list. I also can't go too high, as I work at a hotel, and park in an underground parking garage. not a lot of clearance.

For the center bar on the grille, you can get some wrap, remove the center bar and wrap it yourself. It’s a PITA to remove the center bar but it’s worth the upgraded look. The little details matter
