New 2024 F150. What accessories to get

[Highway 11]

Builtright makes a latch for the back seat so you can easily move it forward and not have to fiddle with the Ford OEM method. You may not use it much but it makes it significantly easier if you do use it.

To expand on this:

The backseat on the F150 is split 60/40 with the single seat on the right. From the factory, you can fold down the single seat to access the jack and fuel funnel. I put booster cables and my recovery kit in behind there.

But, the centre/left seats don't fold down. There's a latch that is used to install the seat at the factory (worker pushes the seat in, it clicks into place, it stays in place forever). There's no mechanism, which is where Builtright comes in. They make the mechanism that bolts on and turns that one time use latch into a regular latch. So now you have a large space behind your centre/left seat to store items. I store two 12' tool bags with my cargo securement (ratchet straps, bungie cords, cargo net) and my emergency kit (air pump, boost pack, gloves, reflective vest, LED flares). In the winter I'll throw my collapsable shovel behind the seat as well.

I bought the folding storage under my rear seats to store these items. Turns out I really didn't need it with the space behind the seat.

If your lady has long nails like mine, a door handle cup protector is a good idea as well.

What do you recommend for the wife grocery bags? Have been trying to find a solution to this.

Adjustable cargo bar from harbor freight. Cheaper and easy

I agree. This is a cheap, and easy alternative to the factory bed divider when you only need a simple bar to go across.

As for my earlier post, the wheel well liners. The way the factory has left some of the rear wheel wells is pretty bad. The King Ranch is notably bad since it is a two tone and the line is clearly visible while the paint looks like it's merely overspray.

I opted for the factor rear wheel liners, and I was hesitant at first as to the value...however after seeing your post, I'm glad I did...especially since mine is white.

As others have said, I went with the following and will do the same on my 2024 which, hopefully, will arrive by the middle of May.

1. Line-X Premium spray-in bedliner.
2. Ceramic coating of all exterior, (paint, trim, glass, etc.).
3. Ceramic tint (50%) on all windows and twin panel glass, (not front windshield).
4. Line-X undercoating.
5. Weathertech mats in Cocoa color.
6. OCD Plug matte screen protector on 12" screen.
7. OCD Plug B Pillar clear gloss protectors.
8. De-badge dealer and FX4 stickers.
9. Truxedo X15 Pro tonneau cover in woven fabric matte-black.

Oh man I got a Retrax Pro XR (the Ford branded one) cover and then added Rhino Rack bike racks that fit in the T tracks. They are SO handy, especially when dragging the trailer. Bed is still accessible with the bikes up there. It wasn't cheap but every time I use the cover or the bike racks I smile.

This is really beautiful. Thanks for posting the pic, so we can see what the setup looks like. ?

It’s just my wife and I 95% of the time, so we keep the back seats folder up and carry around two of these collapsible crates from Ace Hardware. They fit nicely on the (flat) floor, fold up when not in use. Often, when we get home, it’s simpler just to carry the crates in the house.

The flat floor in the back seat was one of the major reasons we selected the F-150. It makes the truck immensely more useable.

Costco sometimes carries these same crates, and you get 2 for the same price...my wife has several she keeps in the camper and in her Explorer.

I'm against that, for potential liability reasons.

Other ideas:

- Wheel well liners
- Truck nuts.

I deleted mine with this kit, it was a great choice. I’ve only been in one situation where a lady was standing in front of my truck as I was trying to pull out of a parking space and she was oblivious because of no noise. Obviously no danger, as the drive I knew she was there. It was funny to watch her stand there talking until her husband realized I was trying to go and pulled here out of the way.

There is probably a 0.000000000234563% chance it would ever be a factor, but my OCD won't allow it. I'm annoyed while it beeps for fractions of a minute over weeks of time. But yeah. Get the fuck out of my way..

I have this one - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B8ZPNJ5J

It's not the fanciest out there, but it looks oem and is out of the way.
