Default Just bought New F-250. Need help upgrading.

It is a pretty stock F-250 (6.2 engine.) I'd like to make it not look so bland. Don't want to lift it (I'm an old guy,) but I'd like to make it look a little nicer.

I pretty much hate the wheels on this thing. Just look too small for the wheel well. Can I go bigger size? Can you add those fancy mod's that go above and around the wheel well? They have them on the King Ranch. Also hate the jump seat and would like to replace with a console if possible.

Just couldn't afford the King Ranch, so trying to do what I can here...lol

Thanks for any suggestions.

Here's a pic of it. They are adding chrome running boards.

I kinda did the same thing, bought an STX and added what I wanted. The jump seat was the first change I made. You probably will get more help in an F250 forum. Not much is common between the 150 and 250.

Ahh...this said "Super Duty" forum...but, I guess it's still a f150 site.

I'll keep looking. Thanks.

^ you are in the right place, but the ratio here is about 1 SD guy for 10,258 F150 dudes, so it might take a while before you get constructive answers

I like your truck, but I really like the wheels.

Lots of options. Common changes are obviously wheels. Lots of people use fuel wheels (look them up on google.. Fuel off-roading) ptm mirrors can look really clean, especially with the tow mirrors. Window tint can really change the look. Other things like LED's can make a truck stand out. If you can find mikeyfitz or 2012platinum's builds you'll get a wide variety of ideas

You could do some wraps.

Some of the best values, and a really nice upgrade, is putting uplevel newer model but still factory Ford wheels, on an older or less well equipped truck.

Here are some with 100 miles on them...there are scores available on the internet.

That is a nice color you have there.
Tinted windows for sure.
Could also get a unpainted grill surround if you want to cut down on the bright front end and have it color-matched painted to match your truck, like the King Ranch or just get the insert decals to highlight the Superduty letters.(the Letters are available on ebay)

Great idea Austinga...those look nice. Lot of them on there too.

And your truck is gorgeous SWBF. I don't think any color looks better in the sun than that. What size wheels are on that? The one I have has 17"...a $375 "upgrade," but smaller than the 18" wheels that come standard.
