On my 2000 I would have to say lift, wheels, and tires to make it stand out. On the cheaper side aftermarket headlights/tail lights, tinted windows, exhaust, and maybe some custom pin striping will make it stand out also. But after the lift my favorite upgrade has been the 4.56 gears. They make such a big difference.

Awesome truck old white! I have 3:55 gears in my Ecoboost but I thought about going to 4:10's but after installing the SCT custom tune it moves quick so I may just add exhaust and intake, lift and tires.

thanks! the reason for the re-gearing was because the tires were so big for the half ton axles that I was getting 7-8 mpg and had no throttle response. After the 4.56s I was getting 11-12 mpg and my truck, in a way, feels like it has more power then before.

oh how is that Ecoboost? Im thinking about selling my truck and starting over with a 2011 platinum i found.

I like my spare tire carrier, because it gets it out of the bed.

My 6" Pro Comp Stage 2 lift Kit with Nitto Trail Grappler Mt's just makes the truck look mean and first truck able to do this too.

I don't know about the 2011 Ecoboost but I have the 2012 3.5 Ecoboost and it is awesome. I put a custom tune on it and this truck moves. It rides so smooth and fast that I don't realize I am driving 70mph most of the time lol.

I just got a new Extang Trifold bed cover and it fits perfect and looks great.

Why would the environmental protection agency get any better. Lol just kidding don't take it personal, we all know you meant mpg. I think.
