Who's leaving the truck stock besides me?

Been tempted to level, lift, add rims and bigger tires and after consideration going to leave her as she came - pretty dang awesome.

Even the Tire guy this am took a moment and said " hey man, that is a sweet truck and I'm a GMC person"...

Leaving well enough alone - 2012 Eco Plat.

the truck is our company truck, so no mods for me!
Except the brackets to move the running boards out a bit, but that's a safety issue

Might change shocks or add air bags to the back. Might. Probably won't.

First post for me, long time lurker. I have recently traded in my 2010 S/C 4X4 in for a 2013 STX S/C 4X4. I have been so tempted to start modding my truck. My wife always says that I look at a truck as a good starting point. A little older now. Only thing I have done is tint the windows. Thought about leveling it, but with EPAS I think I am going to pass. I admire a lot of the trucks on this site but it is a case of to each his own. I am leaving mine bone stock. The only thing that will change is tires when that time comes. For me to not drive a truck without a custom tune is saying A LOT!

To the OP-
You drive a Platinum. That doesn't need anything to be customized.

Well, unless:

a grill to cover the big hole in the center of the front bumper
an undercover flex tonneau cover
Michelin LT tires
removal of the big 4X4 off of the rear fenders
and an easy down assist for the tailgate....
Ford mudflaps
weathertech floor liners
chrome license plate frames
new OEM HID's
a shorty billet antennae



count as modifications, then I am leaving mine stock too.......

if you ever plan to tow, don't level it or you'll also be adding air bags to the back (to prevent the nose from being up in the air when a trailer is on the back). Also plan on losing mpg if you level/lift it. Besides the tonneau cover, easy down tailgate thing, grip tape on the running boards, and tires my Lariat will remain stock. I only use it to tow my camper in the summer, and date night the rest of the time. My wife is ashamed of my "daily driver", a slightly rear ended 07 Kia Rio with no options but AC and alloy wheels w/spoiler and tint. Hence, the truck is the date night vehicle of choice (cause no body wants to be seen in the minivan without kids).

Don't consider tint, bedrug and bed cover mods - those are must.
