Default Hello from Central Valley of CA

Hi folks, glad to be a part of a vibrant community. I've got a 2019 XLT agate black 4x4 SuperCrew 5.0L with tow package. It's also got far too much chrome, so I'm looking for my best options to delete the chrome (door handles, tailgate handle, bumpers, grill, side steps, and wheels), and I've already found several other mods I'm interested in (adding inverter/110V plugs, adding hill descent control, adding trailer brake, 2.5" level, 17x9 wheels and A/T tires, SE or STX grill to replace two bar XLT grill). I've already absorbed a bunch of info from the great posts on here, and will be looking for more as I financially recover from the initial purchase and start to have disposable money!

Welcome to the forum. I feel the same, I can't get too excited with my truck upgrades since my monthly payment is still bogging me down. Just a few more yrs and then I can do more like fully upgrading my lighting and audio system.

Thanks for the welcome! First mods done... Tailgate dampener (oem ford behind the taillight) and 60 split rear seat pull installed. Next up (is this a mod)... getting a second key cut and programmed since it only came with one! After that, probably going to post up my experience with vinyls... I have 6 gloss black metallic vinyls coming to see which is the best match for Agate Black.

Change That cabin filter often, that valley is smoggy and dusty. Lived in the Visalia-Fresno area for years.

QFT! Heh
I love living in the Central Valley, but it does tend to get socked in with all the crap from the bay area and LA. I expect to be clay barring this thing often to keep the black paint nice!
