Purchased my truck - Now what’s next?!

[JPerkmr954]

Just picked up my 2022 XTL 302A High not even 24 hours ago and still can’t believe I got this truck!

Now I need direction/guidance/feedback for hopefully only a few modifications and how to go about them. I’m getting tint done right away but I have a few wants:

Paint matched side vents (not sure if that’s the proper name)
Black Ford Front and rear emblems or Red if they exist
Paint Matched F250 Tow Mirrors
Paint Matched Front grille or Paint matched STX front grille

BAP Headlights and Tails

Any insight / direction / things to note and know will be a big help

Congrats, good looking truck!

My suggestion is to just enjoy driving and taking time to get to know your truck before going mod-crazy.

IMO / IME downloading the full PDF owner's manual from the Ford Owner's website and referring to that before asking questions here is a great way to learn about your vehicle.

Have Fun!

Thank you! Coming from a sedan - this is a huge adjustment driving. I'd like to think I'm not going to mod it, but I don't want to lie to myself lol
So just a few things, some may never come to be in reality.

Step 1: Read the owner's manual

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the "club"! You have impeccable tastes in color. As you will come to find out, there's a lot of knowledgable people on this forum willing to help and share in your appreciation for the F-150.

As others have said before me, download the owners' manual. IMO, looking at it on a computer is much easier than a phone. Mods - all weather floor mats if they were not included, tri-folding hard cover and mud flaps. IMO, not flashy mods, but very useful.

Here's to many happy miles with your new to you truck!

Thank you! Found a few sets of the mats on FB marketplace so we will see if I can secure a set - and def want a hard cover soon but they are a little pricy.

Compared to most around here, I've barely touched my truck but it suits me.

Mods that come to mind, in approximate order ...

1) Switched license plate halogens for LEDs
2) Matte finish screen protector for the big screen.
3) Rubber floor mats.
4) RokBlox mud flaps.
5) Weather Tech, bed and tailgate mats.
6) Soft rollup tonneau.
7) Switchable back up beeper delete (PB specific).
8) 1000lb. version of rear Sumo Springs.
9) Air cutout mod, in front of the snorkel.

Sometime in the near future, I'll install AVS vent shades.

Edit, somewhere in there I had an eyebrow installed.

Much appreciation for this list. #1 is def needed - is it difficult to do and where did you source your led from?

I had some extra LEDs from an earlier project on my tractors. Don't recall the numbers but search halogen license plate lights on this forum and I'm sure you'll find it. You may not need them, as the previous owner may have done it. Pretty common mod for the affected years.

The screen protector was not hard to do, Just follow the instructions. Get everything clean, including your hands, use enough mounting solution and position it properly. Its a reasonably tight fit but with a little care, I'm sure you'll be fine.

Beautiful truck, welcome!

I'm looking to verify the light bulb size online right now. This will be done today as soon as I can get to AutoZone and find the right bulb.
Is your screen protector from OCD? That's what I found on google.

I do have a tip for the light replacement. Let your truck sit for a while once home from the parts store. Those halogens get hot enough to burn you.
