Christmas wish list for a new Lightning owner

[XENOILPHOBE]

1. AC charging adapters 48 AMP or A2Z 80 AMP
2. DC charging Adapter 500 AMP or A2Z (8000 miles in and still haven't gotten my Ford Adapter)
3. All weather floor mats Ford or MAXpider Floor Mats or BaseLayer or LasFit
4. Under seat storage or under seat vault
5. Wireless charging pad that works and doesn't burn my phone up.
6. Dash security camera
7. Mud flaps
8. Fog lights
9. Gun mount magnet or in center console safe and CENTER-LOK Gun rack or ARmA15 or under seat vault
10. Amber running lights (X4) mounted in frunk grill with high beams (see picture below)
11. Starlink Internet
12. Camper Topper
13. CarPlay that connects every time you get in the GD truck.
14. Wheels 20 Inch Monoblock Wheels (30 lbs)
15. Tires Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3's (38 lbs) would prefer an ECO focused tire with low rolling resistance.
16. NACS retrofit
17. Better speakers than the B&O Unleashed junk in my Platinum (could be a settings issue, I think their speed compensated volume software distorts the sound I am spoiled but the Focal/Mosconi System in my FJ)
18. 10mm wrench for when the shifter gets stuck in the down position and I need to cycle the 12 volt power or battery disconnect switch
19. 2" shank, Tow and Stow adjustable 3 ball hitch or Costco Blackout Hitch or other (ball closer to receiver will provide better control)
20. Window Tint
21. Rear seat release drivers side or build your own
22. ICON Stage 4 Suspension System with ICON Intelligent Control (IIC), I have the ICON Stage 6 on my FJ and love it
23. High Gain - Stubby Antenna - all the stubbies reduce gain - looking for something better
24. F-150 Lettering for tailgate (got mine at ETSY)
25. Putco Luminix Ford Logo for Frunk
26. Racks and Carriers
27. MOLLE mounts
28. Bed boxes and storage
29. Coolers or Portable Fridge
30. Bed Liners
31. Tool Box
32. Front bumper (aluminum)
33. Home AC Charging System (your choice) I already had the Tesla Gen 3's and just added the AC adapter mentioned in #1 above.
34 Lithium Low Voltage 12 volt battery (oversized) OHMMU
35. Portable Pellet Grill

Good list. I wouldn’t choose the Ford floor mats, there are better options for less money. I’ve got the 3D Maxpider floor mats on my list.

Also the rear seat release from Builtright Industries for getting behind the seat for regular storage. You can easily rig up something yourself and not buy their piece. My last truck (2022 Pro) didn’t have the subwoofer, but I still think there will be usable space.

20. Window Tint

Our dealership messed up the colour*, so to make up for it, they threw in free tinting.

This worked really well because my wife has a reaction to direct sunlight exposure, even through glass which reduces it. The tinting eliminates the problem.

*We ordered Antimatter Blue, but they entered it as Agate Black on the ordering system. Unless the vehicle is perfectly clean on a sunny day, it's hard to tell the difference.

Ford Charge adapter is supposedly on track to be shipped on my May order before New Years. And My September order in January according to a live ford fulfillment CS rep. See if Santa has it in his sleigh.

As far as a tow ball goes, picked up a killer deal on this 14,000# rated 2” / 2 5/16” Costco in warehouse was closing them out in my store for $50.00. They show 119.00. Online .
With the 3” channel and double pins, planning to make a removable pipe vise and basket.

I want the shortest 2-5/16” ball I can find, not sure on the height yet. The closer I can keep the load to the rear bumper the less leverage the tongue weight will have on the rear suspension.

Thats true. Better control and better ride

4. Under seat storage.

Who makes that one, it looks robust!

It’s built in at the factory, that’s the interior picture from the Ford website for a 2024 lightning Platinum . You should take a look under your seat, it folds flat when not in use and when you fold it up it has locks on both sides.

I'll have to look, I don't seem to have this in my 2024 Platinum Lightning. Just went an looked, no such beast in mine.

Here is a picture I found online

It was a factory option for my 2023 Lariat. Discontinued.
