CAI without other modifications is a way to throw away your money...the OEM intake flows just fine...

Unless you're going to upgrade turbos and exhaust and add a tune...don't bother with a CAI...

The only "must haves" your new truck doesn't have that I added are ceramic window tint and maybe a bed liner and tonneau cover.

Swap that eco boost out with a 5.0 and throw on a borla exhaust.

Some swear by it here during the Texas summers, but I have no direct experience.

Yuck. I don't like the blue cast. Look at 3M Crystalline. CR70 works great on the windshield, and it's light enough that most people aren't going to notice it.

Welcome... Always first mod is ceramic window tint, weathertech mats (or husky), bed liner if it doesn't have one, and bed cover, at least that's me ...
