I have all of these mods aside from the swing cases and this guy is 100% correct. These are some of the best and cheapest mods. I highly recommend all of them. Great video!
Thanks Benjamin!!!!! I really appreciate the kind words. Now go get yourself some Swing Cases. LOL.. joking!!!!
It may be because I wear workboots everyday in my truck, but I i think a good set of floormats (like Weathertech) are a must. Never saw a huge point to bedliners either. If anything, you use the bed to hell and spray a liner in before you sell/trade it in to cover up dents and scratches.
I totally agree about the floor mats. Ford actually threw in their version of a "All Weather " mat when I bought the truck. Front and rear, so I'm good there but totally see your point.
The aluminum flexes and tings like a beer can when walking on it. I think line-x should be standard with the aluminum bed...
@@chancecarlton8403 Couldn't agree more!
You might have been able to do that with a steel bed but I can't hide the damage if you use your aluminum bed hard.
All great practical mods. Ordering my air filter now. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed the video found the Mods useful for your truck. The K&N filter did wonders for my MPG especially in ECO mode commuting to and from work. Thanks again!!!!
Nice, thanks again Frank! Definitely looking into two of them.
Great glad It helped you out... use those links!!!!
An increase in the volume of air detected by a MAF or MAP sensor will inevitably call for increased fuel delivery to maintain a proper air/fuel ratio. The “increase” in gas mileage can only come from not having a lead foot.
not having a lead foot doesn't increase efficiency. you simply accelerate faster. and if your speeding (which you shouldn't) then you simply get to your location faster... now if your spinning tires that can indeed reduce efficiency by a microscopic amount in the long run. cant say the same for tires.
@@levistrnad2965
Lead foot = increased fuel consumption = decreased efficiency
@@notacreativehandle again assuming your not speeding there is no efficiency decrease-increase assuming your in the optimal speed-zone. if your in the last gear and the motors running higher rpm then yes that's less efficient but vehicles are designed to have steady efficiency hence why there's transmissions but again there designed to match speed requirements. what your saying is that it would be using less fuel going 1mph for lets say 5 miles vs 50 for 5 miles. if you look it up a vehicles peak efficiency in total can range from 60-70mph as most vehicles are designed to withstand highway use (in the US).
@@levistrnad2965
You completely missed the entirety of my point
@@levistrnad2965 yeah well i drive 55 on the freeway instead of 70 my truck went from averaging 700 until empty to 850. Might not apply to all vehicles but it does for my 2015 f150.
I like your channel and I love how positive you are.
Thank you.... I appreciate that.
Great video! I was looking far a review on a couple items you shared. Well done.
Thanks Mundo, glad you enjoyed it and found it useful. I have the links in the video description if that helps you out. Appreciate the support.
Some practical mods, thanks for the new ideas.
Anytime..... glad you enjoyed the video.
I’m going to look at the swing toolboxes at some point I just bought my first truck or vehicle but for now I have a bulky one
You love your vehicles Frank. Great mods. 🚛
Thank you!!!!
These are all great suggestions. Thanks!! :)
Glad you enjoyed the video!!!
Mister, that is a beautiful truck. I just bought a real nice looking 01’ F150 manual trans with only 73k miles. I hope I can add some of these mods to my old truck. Thanks for the video! 😎
Thanks Cody I appreciate the nice comment about my truck. Hope you can get some of these mods to work on yours well. Post some of your truck pics up on my Facebook group Bangin Gears Garage, would love to see it.
Very helpful. Thank you so much!
You're very welcome! Glad you found the video helpful!
great presentation. Thanks!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed and hope you found some mods that meet your truck needs
Good list, well done video. Thanks
Glad you agree!
🥳 Virginia! 🔥
Solid list! Thank you!
Thank you!!!! Glad you liked it, hope it helps you out!!!
Thx for the ideas and video. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!!!!!
I got front roll up windows tinted to match the factory 20% of the back doors; stainless steel iBoard side steps (rated up to 500 lbs); a very heavy duty 1/2" rubber bed mat; and quad-fold soft tonneau cover. I installed everything except the tint. All in about $650 out of pocket. 20% Xpell Tint/installation: $100; iBoard side steps: $200; Bed Mat: $100; Tonneau: $250.
Sounds nice!!!!!
If you'd bought a GM, most of these come stock with the exception of the window drip covers (which are ugly) and the swing case which is awesome.
Is it really prudent to get a different truck based on 3 small adjustments?
Amazing, really useful vid thank you a lot
Thank you, glad you found it useful
The K&N filter is the worst thing you could do for your truck. It lets a lot more contaminants into your engine that will accelerate wear on your engine. The best filter you can get is the WixXP. Watch project farm’s testing on the filters.
Awesome! Straight to the point and no BS!!! Thank you, SIR!
Glad you enjoyed it Luis!!!
Great video! I have almost all of them. Hey did you do a chrome delete on mirrors and window trim? Looks awesome.
No actual came blacked out from the factory....all badging is black and the Ford logo is black not blue.
Great video 👍
Thanks RC!!!!
Not bad for your first RUclips video...keep at it.
Thank you
Nice video. I just bought an 05 F150, In Manassas.
Nice, pretty local to me too. See you around the neighborhood!!!
Dude I like your logic. Got a video showing your truck?
@@brucebmendoza no I never made one, it's just a stock F-150 .
Thank you!
Anytime... hope you found some of it useful
I have all these mods for my truck and yes I love each item he discussed and they work as described
Awesome tutorial!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!!
Didn’t know that about tha air filter thanks!
You're welcome, thanks for watching the video.
Great video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!!!!!
Great floor mats
Thank you. OEM from Ford
The tri fold bed cover that I bought.was one of the biggest mistakes. I lost access to a third of the bed from the side with it just being at the standard height. I just gave it away that’s how much I hated it. Rol n lock is a lot more expensive $1,000 and up! But it’s a lot more secure. I see that there is one out there that is a tool box. With the roll top built in. That would be worth checking out. I would also go with the bed rug. Instead of a liner or spray. Your knees will thank you. The one thing that I would not be without for these newer taller trucks. Is a folding step that attaches to the tailgate. And then folds up against the tailgate.? Its removable with just two pins to slide something into the bed. But the plate stays screwed to the gate . Makes getting in and out so much easier. Less than $70.00
Great input, Thank you.
Look at the Lo Max fold-up. You can take them out completely.
@@dustinsmartfishing it's not made to be constantly on and off. But when its completely folded it only restricts 8-10 inches of the front of the bed. Some might find that an issue, I never have. Fits my need perfectly.
Thanks for the input. Can you share the link where to buy the ladder pls.
GREAT VIDEO.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!!!
I like the tailgate assist, but I spent the extra to get the hidden one that goes inside the tail light.
I actually might go that route if this one ever brakes... but still works great right now.
@@BanginGearsGarage I was worried about snagging something on the piston, so went with the hidden one. I love it!
Love the content
Thank you!!!!!
Good stuff. Just bought a black f150. Trying to make it look like yours sir. Gonna go get it tinted next week.
Awesome. Glad you enjoyed the video. What year is yours?
@@BanginGearsGarage 2019 sport edition. Freaking loving it.
Got so excited when he said one bout saving gas, then he said air filter I remembered I had a s-10 which are known for losing power and getting less air when a aftermarket filter is put on
Wow, didn't know that about the Chevy S-10. Sorry to get your hopes up!
Like everything but the swing cases. 4x8 sheet stoppers
The cases don't go into the bed past the wheel wells. So if the 4x8s fit in between your wheel wells the case should not interfere.
Awesome mods. I love my rokblokz mudflaps, and they come in any color you want.
Glad you like them!
Replacing the Air filter with the K&N, or any other manufacturer is purely aesthetic. The only thing you will gain is possibly a bit of turbo sound. They don't perform any better over the stock setup.
and lets way more dirt into your engine
Those #1s aren't needed. They already are built in, plus you have that bracket in the way. #2, 😊😊😊. #5: Those are cool! The plastic liners are a pain as everything you put in the bed slides around. Spray-In is better.
You forgot #8: The smoking hot lady chauffeur! LOL 😂😂😂
I like your #8 idea!!!
@@BanginGearsGarage
🤣🤣🤣🤣
You never mentioned the catch can to catch the blow by. Something that I want to install when I get my new truck.
Because I didn't install one, but if I do ill definitely be making a video.
Great video man I have half of these but you’ve just completed my list for the rest. Thanks for your great contact
Thanks TCW!!!! Glad you enjoyed the video. The links are in the video description for the MODS you don't have..... yet !!! Hope you subscribed as well.
Nice video I have all of that. Do you have a catch can
Thanks for the reply...... No my 2020 F150 3.5 ECO has direct injection so catch cans are not needed as that are in previous year s
my f-150 Lariat, I installed an air bag under the drivers seat..... yet retain the factory stock suspension. Just more proof car makers don't know what the hell they are doing . . . . . . .
i like the video but i don't totally agree on the bed liners... i have a box liner that was put in from when i bought my truck.... and only after only 2 to 4 months... i had took it off to clean under it... and parts of my bed paint was worn right to the metal already...and my brother had his sprayed on and it all looked good till he was walking in the bed of his truck and his foot almost went through... he didn't even know that his box was rusting out from underneath.
Both are great points..... I never liked the plastic drop-in liners because water does get under them and if it doesn't fully drain out, it just lays there and if the paint is worn from the liner, could cause the bed to rust. As for your brothers experience..... undercoating from the factory or even an after-market spray would of prevented that or at least dramatically slowed the process way down. The new FORDs are aluminum ...no rust but it does create other oxidation issues is not properly coated.
I think 3 or 4 out of the 5 of these should be put on from the factory...
Oh I completely agree!!!!
I’m 15, just bought my first vehicle from my dad. It’s a Toyota Tundra 2004 that I paid 1 grand for. Got a summer job lol. I am now going insane over making it the best ride ever lmao. Maybe going to see if I can get like a 4-6” lift, idk if that would look tacky or not though, doing some research
Tundra will drain your wallet with gas. Don’t spend to much on it. Have fun with your truck
Does anyone know if they make a rear seat release like that for the 07 Silverado? I would need the latching mechanism itself as the chevy has a loop like bracket that can only be removed by lifting the seat up and away. Chevy seats were not meant to be folded forward I guess?
TIA
Honestly Im not sure..... Just search Amazon i would guess.
I was wondering if I will buy F150 or a gmc sierra after this video definitely I will buy f150 , thanks sir please keep the hard work , I converted from muscle cars and now focusing on trucks because of my work
Glad the video helped you out..... Thanks for watching!!!
@@BanginGearsGarage sir can you do a video on how to install an outlet or similar products
@@Technobug1 An electrical outlet for a house? Unfortunately I'm not an electrician and it really would fit the automotive theme of the channel. I'm sure there are other channel that can help you with this topic. Sorry I could be further help.
I did the same X crypto. From a Mustang to a F 150. Some people think im crazy for a huge change like that . I didnt think there were many mods for trucks like there are for muscle cars but I was wrong 😄 I almost forgot my truck was a F 150 lol. Frank showed the must haves , but there are many more mods big and small. Good luck and thanks for the video Frank 👍🏼
I wish yall had mods for trucks from 1980s i got a ford f-150 from 1986 nice body paint i can't believe how it is. Made in America 🇺🇸
Join my Bangin Gears Garage Facebook page and post up so truck pics, I'd love to see it!!!!
Love your window tint
Love your sprayed in bed in and agreed it Worth it spray in liners because I shopping for truck and bed 2020 are Shot up like it War zone .
Air cleaner mode is Super Great Reviews and idea..
my local shop does it Right $165 for front window and about $130.00 for window shield tint - they do 100 windshield tint a week ..
Like window visors but I am A American Flag and Pow Flag and Firefighter Flags person -+ thee window visors would Not able to put my American Flag or Other's on windows like done for 35 years .
Positivity Got have a Bed cover ( folding Hard cover ) on my or All my trucks because like your truck thee Tool box or anything in bed is Hot Spots for Thieves without a cover on bed and Things Repeat Fly out your truck bed at 70 mph or 80 mph if you do Not have a cap or good bed cover on your truck bed !!!
Buy your truck in the Phoenix Metro area as they all come with factory tint, hmm I wonder why 🤔
As they all should.....cause it's hot as hell out there. LOL
CAI (Cold Air Inductions), makes a better Air Intake system than K&N and it looks so much better when installed.
1) CAI only makes Intakes for GMC and Chevy trucks and 2) this video is about mods under the $200 mark. The CAI intakes are around $380. Definitely a great product made for specific trucks.... maybe in another video.
@@BanginGearsGarage Gotcha. I didn't realize CAI was GM specific and I forgot about the under $200 part for your video. My apologies!
@@JMilMovies all good dude, no worries... just glad you watched the video.
i live in frederick md
So swing cases are essentially aftermarket RAM-boxes? Kinda neat
Kinda sorta... but removable to take with you if needed.
what I'm not sure why it doesn't come standard is that tailgate damper, you would think without it you can dent your tailgate and it doesn't come standard from the manufacturer
Exactly!!!!!!
Which tint did you go with?
Went with the Pinnacle Series from Formula One/ Llumar , and went with what the darkest Legal shade is in VA for the driver and passenger sides.
Do the black f150 badges come black or did you but them somewhere?
All the black badges and the Black Ford Logo all came from the factory that way.
🔥🔥👍
Thank you Moria!
@@BanginGearsGarage you're still awesome
Can you fit a sheet of plywood with the swing cases?
Yes, if the plywood fit between your wheelwells it still will. The cases are a good 5 inches above the floor and don't intrude into the bed past the wheel wells. Great question, hope i answered it for you.
the case is also removeable
@@alonzocoley2913 yeah. After thinking about it. I figured the same thing. 😂
Btw K&N let’s in more particulates than any other air filter.
Oil filters arnt good either and it saves you like .2 mpg nothing noticeable or able to save you a day or two from the gas station😂 and it gives you like 1-2hp without a tune nothing noticeable
I wouldn’t fit a K&N Air Filter into any of my vehicles ever again, as they are not as effective as a standard factory air filter element I’ve ran numerous test over a 2 year period on gravel roads and in the outback of Australia. The K&N failed miserably. 🦘🇦🇺🦘
Yeah, K&Ns are garbage...
Ohhh Wait... I better remove those on the Sprint Car, Silver Crown Car & Midget, the Baha Race Truck, ARCA Dirt Car & Modified... etc, etc, etc...
Yulp, You never see them on roadrace bikes, dirt track motorcycles or a Harley on the street.
Apparently someone is not following the directions on cleaning and preping the filter yet assumes their limited experience is the final decision. Nothing like building a $70,000 to $100,000 engine and relying on a paper filter.
(Said NO Engine Builder EVER)
I feel like this is an old man mod list other than the bed liner. No hate. Git rid of those plastic pieces over the window and mud flaps.
No worries i respect your opinion. They are just mode that I use every day and feel the increase the benefits of owning, maintaining and the overall use of the truck.
I notice that your tailgate assist that all the components are black did you paint the plates? Clicking on the link you provided from Amazon it shows the Crome from Dee Zee. What company brand did you purchase. Thank you
I did use the Dee Zee and mine came all black. There is no black option in that link? The video is over a year old, the company might of change it up. After you hit the link, it you scroll to the bottom of the page you may see a few other options.
@@BanginGearsGarage thank you very much.
@@ROBERT-eg4ys anytime always happy to help.
@@BanginGearsGarage My Dee Zee just came in unfortunately not black I’m going to need to spray paint them to match my tailgate. Thank you again.
@@ROBERT-eg4ys sorry it wasn't exactly as you wanted, but now it's custom!

What was the % tint on your front windows?
What ever the state legal limit is in Virginia. I have no idea.
@@BanginGearsGarage ah ok, 50%

K&N air filters let in way too much dirt into your engine
He said “15, 17, 19, 20+” as my truck gets a solid 9 maybe 10 depending where I’m at😭

Your smoking more then a cigar for paying a grand for a bedcover

heard of diamondback?
Lol I've had the same one for 5 years and it's still in great condition. I say $1,200 well spent. I'm constantly throwing things in the bed of my truck. Been through hell as far as weather goes and my cargo is 100% dry
I have a 08 Chevy Colorado and I cant find tailgate assist that fits. Any ideas?
And I'm assuming you looked around the Amazon pages? I'll do do digging around as well.
@@BanginGearsGarage thanks man that was quick! Yeah I've added it to "My Garage" on Amazon and the only results that come back are "Universal" dampers and they seems to meant for car hoods, rather than the tailgate.
@@dylandushack994 yeah, im looking as well and thts all I see

@@BanginGearsGarage yeah this truck is always a pain to find parts for because it's basically a Japanese model just rebranded as a Chevy haha. Thanks so much for the effort though! Loved the rest of the video and ordered 2 or 3 new accessories already
What year model is your pickup
2020 XLT
Me too so the back seat will fold down
@@Anthony-ip8fp yes the Latch is all the way down towards the middle of the seat. You have to slide your arm between the seat and the rear window to unlatch.
No wonder why the swing cases are so expensive they made in American
Is there any proof about the 2 mpg increase? It sounds pretty substantial and almost not believable lol. I don’t mean this in a rude way just genuinely curious
Just going by the information sheet that come in the package and the MPG that I have gained on my own vehicle. That being said, how you drive has a lot to do with the gains. I don't have a heavy foot and use the truck as a daily commuter so I'm always in ECO mode on the highway . Is it a miracle product, no but where gas $ is today, every little bit helps.
🎯🇸🇪
I have the backseat latch extension. Never used it. Waste of money
I think it's a matter of opinion. You have it and don't use it, while others may use it all the time and wonder why its not on the truck from the factory. Sorry you feel its a waste of YOUR money.
The swing out is a no-go where I live. Too many drug addicts the city council calles "homeless" who just want to steal your sh!t.
I can totally understand that. The added security of a bed cover to hide the swing cases, even though they lock, is always a good idea to keep them out of the public eye.
@Bangin' Gears I love the idea of the swing out. I am just asking for trouble. I can't even cover my bed. Homeless be like "I KNOW THERE IS SH*T TO STEAL UNDER THERE"
Sigh..
I need to move 😫
Why am I looking to spend more money after buying a ~$50k truck 😩
One word.... Customization!!!
Awesome video Frank . I’ve got a few videos on mods as well. Check out my lifted f150 called Legend on my channel.
You bet!
Bedliner, seat clasp and tailgate hydraulics DO come with a Dodge Truck.
Hehehe...F__kin Ford
True statement right there.
my ford has it also
Why buy a truck if you don’t want to put anything in the bed?
I mainly use the truck for towing.There are not things consistently in the bed, there have been bags of mulch, firewood, even an engine stuff like that. But I specifically needd the truck for towing the trailer long distance.
@@BanginGearsGarage I just got a used 2018 3.5 ecoboost. Came over from a Ram ecodiesel, I will take it on my first trip with the trailer this week. I know the mpgs won’t be as good but power should be there. How does it perform in hot weather? It will be over 100 degrees in some of the area I’m traveling through.
@@fenwaywest I haven't have any issues, but it does get a little sluggish on the hills if you are towing with the AC on
... as an update, I have ceramic window tint on my '23 F150. Direct sun can barely be felt coming in my truck glass.
It's hands down the best investment you can make on your vehicle for the price!!!
5 mods that take almost 16 minutes to explain
17 18 19 miles to the gallon? never heard of it, all I know is 8 9 10 miles to the gallon

Thanks for letting me know
First thing you do is go spend $115 with tax and get your shit undercoated so the salt dont rust your shit. Had a 10yr old truck with 120k on it and did it once a yr and had zero rust not even rusty bolt
You’re not getting extra horse powers for switching air filter. 🤦
Stock filters are designed to get plenty more than engine needs with full open throttle.
Uneducated idiot. K&N filters are dyno tested and proven to provide small horsepower gains. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
I cringed every time he said pick up truck
Why?
17mpg???? I get 6 :(((
That are you driving? What Engine do you have? What Size Tires?
You actually get less gas mileage with that air filter
Hows that?
Your pronunciation of tonneau is making me cringe
He's old
