Bought a used 13 FX4 Ecoboost Screw. What to do first?

I've been attempting to read as much as possible. There's just so much out there. It's hard to know what to search for when you just don't know what is out there.

I'm hoping to get the advice of the forum on what to do it.

A few things I've come across:

1. Reverse lights aren't bright. Either LED bulbs or mount LED lights.
2. Tailgate damper
3. MyFordTouch screen customization
4. Mud flaps and wheel well liners
5. Line-X
6. BakFlip F1 tonneau cover

Are there any other must-do's?


Oh and I'm coming out of a Chevy Silverado. One of the best damned things about that truck was the rear bumper step. I've been looking around for aftermarket options but all I'm finding are hardcord offroad all-metal bumpers. Any options out there for a bumper step? (Not a fan of the ones that sit under the bumper and extend out)

If you have the 6.5' box, you can install some tie in strips from Mac's. http://www.macscustomtiedowns.com/ca...VersaTie-Track
I guess you can put them in the 5.5' bed, but the inside of the bed doesn't have the perfect ledge to install them like the longer box does.

I used Nut-serts to bolt into and they were awesome for my purposes.
I also like full floor mats but that might not be fore everyone.

Since I am retiring my truck for just weekend use, I will be installing my Warn 9000i behind the bumper with a hidden mount, adding a larger LED light bar behind the grille and adding LED backup lights under the bumper. I also have seat heat elements for the back seats to install yet. I already have the full mud flaps. Air bags are in the shop ready to install as well.

I'm thinking the 3rd detent for the front doors is probably a good idea.

And maybe the tailgate lock.
