Lightning PRO trim -- what are the must have options from the factory?

[RickKeen]

+Extra Key Fob
... there appears to be a way to program a backup code into the truck in case of a lost key. Not sure if that functionality depends on the Phone as Key option or is even available on the Pro. ...

Reading the User Manual more closely, the Backup Start Code functionality is part of the Phone as a Key option which is not available on the Pro.

Can the tailgate step be added later? I know they have after market ones but I’m curious about the oem one?

I think this is a good case of let the factory do it, I can't imagine aftermarket being much cheaper and the labor to do it could be a pain in the ass.

I ordered the Ford storage bins that bolt to the front of the rear seat brackets. Seem well worth the $39 cost. You could make your own from wood or other material, but I wanted a stock look.

What is the part number for this?

My Pro has Max Tow, Tow Tech, spray liner, and tailgate step. You can’t easily add anything but the spray liner after the fact. The 360 cameras and other bits from the tow tech are very welcome.



The third key is easily programmed at home with a key I bought for $65 online, no need to go through the dealer for this. A locksmith or any dealer can cut the blade with your key code (dealer can give you the key code) Instructions are in the owners manual. These guys are out of stock, but it’s the right part number.

I just ordered the parts to add the door keypad on my Pro. Total cost is about $120 with shipping then I’ll program at home with forscan. There are also vendors on eBay selling the template to cut your door trim for the keypad for $40. The keypad portion is on intergalactic backorder due to chips. My buddy who runs a Ford parts department in Scottsdale was able to find me a store in CA that showed them in stock, so I ordered two yesterday. Assuming I have a spare I’ll offer it for sale here. My cost on two shipped was $90.

The Builtright latch doesn’t seem entirely necessary on this truck. Once I knew where the OEM latch is and how to reach and manipulate it, I can consistently get it easily on the first try. I like Builtright and their products, but this time it seems like a waste of money. My 2020 Raptor was a different story, I needed the Builtright latch.

Some other thoughts on accessories:

I think aftermarket seat heaters are imperative on this EV. I’ll be adding some before winter. I’ll try DIY. The kits are less than $100.

I think step bars and some sort of at least front mud flaps are necessary to protect the paint. I added OEM steps off eBay and have Rokblokz mud flaps arriving today.

I ordered Weathertech floor liners, they were the only ones I found made for vinyl floors and come with adhesive pins to hold the front mats in place. Arriving today.

I ordered the Ford storage bins that bolt to the front of the rear seat brackets. Seem well worth the $39 cost. You could make your own from wood or other material, but I wanted a stock look.

E&G is supposed to be releasing their console safe next month. Compared to most it only takes up half the console. I will be ordering one when available.

I’ll be adding some Xpel PPF door edge guards, the roll of 1/2” material is $20 on Amazon and will do a dozen cars. I’m planning on DIY ceramic coating.

Put me first in line for the extra key pad please!

A good list.

I also want to point out that theTuxMat comes with a mix of adhesive/Velcro attachments as well as edge clips that use your moldings to hold some areas in place. Seems to be a decent system and looks good.

Good options.
I need to keep the price below 45k to get state tax exemption. So might lose Bedliner and max two but will keep tech and pro power…

$45k? Doesn’t Pro start at $60k, before any options added?

Yes. Originally, it was $40k, but currently, it’s $60k.
