Talking First time F150 owner

Hello Everyone. Seeing as this is my first F150, I thought that this might be a great place to find knowledgeable F150 owners that can provide first hand experience on great accessories, products, and help resolve any issues that might come along (but hopefully no issues). I just brought home the new truck 2 days ago. It's a 2018 XL STX 4x4 crew cab. I'm coming from a 2014 Tundra, a couple of Avalanches before that, and a diverse plethora of other cars and trucks before that.

The truck already has aftermarket tires and wheels (thanks to some very ballsy thieves that robbed this particular dealership of about 8 sets of factory tires and wheels). I've already ordered a Bakflip MX4 bed cover, a Husky bed mat, Ford under seat storage, and a DeeZee tail gate assist. Not sure yet how much more customizing I will do....time will tell. But if anyone has any recommendations, I'm open to suggestions. Thanks in advance, and I look forward to seeing what everyone else is doing with their trucks.

Here are the first pictures of her...

Great looking truck. Welcome to the forum. It sounds like you have a great start with making the truck your own with the modifications. I would suggest a quality exhaust system, such as Borla. It's a great addition and I really enjoy mine with the 5.0 V8.

Welcome to the F-150 forum! Glad to have you join us.

Have any fun performance modifications planned for the truck?

I haven't put any thought into performance mods yet. I'll have to do some research in that department. Right now I'm just trying to sort out storage and other functionality issues as I'm not wanting to put the toolbox on this truck that I had in my last one, so I have to figure out where to put all my crap. But it's always fun customizing a truck to your own personal needs. I guess that's why I'm always buying new trucks.....it gets boring when you run out of stuff to do to them.
