Was told the long antenna had a purpose other than signal. It’s also used for clearance (parking garage, car wash…) if the the antenna doesn’t hit, you’re good.
Yep. I heard that too!
@@barry4134 I have absolutely no issue with mine.
Have you ever been in a parking garage where a 4x4 F150 with no lift kit didn't fit? Most garages and car washes have that yellow bar that hangs at the entrance to check clearance.
@@tdtommy196 I've been in a few parking decks where a 4x4 f150 wouldn't fit. I'd rather not go back to them
Absolutely correct about the reason for the antenna height. However, garage entrances are still a bit higher when not on an incline. But, before removing, I do recommend a garage test fit to make sure!
I wish I would have watched this video before I bought my 2023 F150 4X4 Crew cab. I made some mistakes, and hopefully anyone who reads this saves themselves some money and don't do what I did.
First, I bought the spray in bed liner and Tonneau cover from the dealer. That cost me $1600. I could have saved myself 50% getting them aftermarket. But the cover has a cool ford logo embossed on the leather so I go that going for me which is nice!
Second, I paid $600 for the tire and wheel protection. I previously had a car, and I had curbed my wheels and was sick over it. But the truck has 275/60 R20 tires. I would really have to try my hardest to find a curb tall enough to wreck those wheels, so imho now that I have had the truck for a few months I wasted my money on the wheel and tire protection. I guess its not a total waste, because if I ever get a blow out, it's covered. Or if I do somehow manage to screw up a rim that is covered too
Third, I paid for Ceramic coating from the dealer. It's a "7 year" coating and it cost me $1000 (it came with their version of scotch guard for the interior too). The reason I did this is because this truck is going to live outside, in Buffalo NY, and it is going to hopefully see at least 10 winters. I wanted make sure the paint is well protected from the salt and grime that comes with winter driving. But what I am quickly realizing is that those professional ceramic coatings are really intended for vehicles that live in a controlled environment. So unless you have Cameron's dad's 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California (it's so choice, if you have the means I highly suggest you get one) that lives it's entire life in a garage, it's just not worth it. They talk about the coating helping to prevent swirls and scratches, but it really doesn't. I already have a few light scratches into the clear coat, and I can't polish them out because it will remove the ceramic coating that I just paid $1k for. Consumer grade ceramic coatings are dirt cheap, like $20 for a spray bottle, and can be as easily applied as your standard wax and last for up to a year. If you get clear coat scratches or swirls, you can polish them out and not feel bad about it, because you can just reapply the coating to the panel after you polish it out. I could have used the money I spent on the dealer installed tonneau cover and spray in bed liner, tire and wheel protection, and the ceramic coating, and just got the whole damn truck wrapped in 3M PPF instead!
Lastly, do not go out and buy floor liners or wheel well liners. When you buy a new ford, you get ford pass, and they give you points to spend on stuff at accessories.ford.com. I got my Truck on July 31. On August 8th they gave me 42,000 points to spend, which is exactly enough to get the F-150 Embossed front and back floor liners, They cover exactly like the Husky liners in this video. Then on August 28th, they gave me another 42,000 points (I don't know if this was a mistake on their part, or they meant to send me those points) which was just enough to get the Ford rear wheel well liners. I mean you could use your points on something else, like a year of Sirius XM or some crap, but imho that is silly. Wheel Well covers and floor covers will last the life of the vehicle. Get those instead.
I just got a 2021 with a 2.7 Ecoboost the truck is absolutely beautiful and such nice smooth power
Nice man!
It really is a great engine! I have the 2.7 too and I have no regrets on not springing for the 3.5L.
Just bought my Lariat 2 days ago. It had the FX4 that came with weathertec mats. Love them.
Awesome!
Ha!! Great minds…. I have a 24 on order. It is still a couple months out but I already ordered an antenna, floor mats and fender liners. I ordered the truck itself with spray in bedliner and mud flaps. Only things I need now are PPF and undercoating.
Awesome!!
I got the husky liners as well I love them.
Yeah.. def a must where I live haha.
I have done all those upgrades on my 2021. I also will cover the rear bumper, painted door thresholds, and door handle cups with 3m PPF on my own.
Since it is a painted bumper, I am also applying POR 15 to the inside and underside of the bumpers (out of view)and topping that with rubberized rocker guard. My 2019 had rust specks on the underside of the rear bumper from rock chips. I also bought a tempered class screen protector for the large touch screen. Also black lug nuts. and emblem /badge de-chroming.
Great things to do! I also got the tempered glass for the touch screen as well. Well worth it.
Isn't the whole body aluminum?
1. Air to water intercooler would be a great mod, Air to water intercooling is 13x more effective than air to air and keeps your charge air temps at a consistent temperature with out heat soaking. Which is great if you do any towing.
2. Water meth injection, because that truck is Direct injected, they have issues with carbon build up on the back of the intake valves. I know ford updated the eco boost with Port injection for idle and low revs to alleviate the problem, but its still a bit of an issue. The water meth will keep the valves clean which will prevent you from having to do the intake valve walnut blasting service in the future. Also you could get away with running regular fuel because the meth system would artificially raise the octane level beyond premium fuel levels.
Sadly Both mods would likely void warranty even though the engine would never come back for any potential damage due to poor fuel quality or excessive towing.
Mine is the 5.0L ! Has both injection style for this gen.
Really enjoyed your work as Mitchell on Modern Family.

Husky liner was my first mod because weathertech doesn’t have 2021 F150 mats
I like how they have the spill over coverage as well.
No mods needed to the truck because it's already perfect
At least these seem to be superficial mods.
I was thinking about leveling and getting slightly bigger tires for mine. It rides so smooth and is so well balanced though, I feel like that would be tainting the truck. Also when I put 750-1000 pounds in the bed it's nice and level anyways.
Just don't get the stubby antenna expecting your local car wash to leave it on. both of the ones that I go to locally put it off before your truck goes through the wash.
Literally got every one of these on my new truck Tuesday. hehe Great minds.........
Haha that's 👌
Definitely going to do paint protection on the body colored bumpers and a Pillars. Never thought about doing the lights. Definitely need seat covers as well!
Be careful of what protection you get i got a 3m hood done and it was trash when dust got on it, looked terrible
Thanks for the info!
Anytime! Glad it helped
Smart move on paint protect
Congratulations on your new truck… I totally agree with the mods you’ve done up to now. God bless you and your family may you have many many years of enjoyment with your new vehicle
Thank you for the kind words!:) likewise. 🙏
Good list of preservation mods. What are the mud flaps you got? Do you have any better angles of them. I want some but can't find any that look good and have good quality.
Hey! Thanks. I actually got rid of them.. I hated the way they were mounted to the body... scratched the fender lip. They were gatorbacks.
I now have Husky mudflaps and love them. They are alot less heavy duty though.
I get the .50 cal replica antenna. Its a nice loook
I personally like the long antenna to be honest
I'm indifferent. Stock antenna does serve a purpose.
That long antenna shaking a lot on the freeway 😅😅😅 I put a 7inch on mine truck
I do like the reg long antenna. my opinion.
My first upgrade was S.C.
only thing I lie about the longer antenna is if you're going into an underground parking area it bends before u hit the roof as a pre warning if ur not paying attention to hight signs.
Yeah agreed. I just avoid that all together.
where do you live that an F150 wont fit in a parking garage? I can understand maybe a superduty. But never saw anyone with a regular 4x4 with no lift or even a 2 inch lift not make it into a garage.
I just ordered my rear wheel liners. That would make a huge difference.
Awesome!
I was told by the dealer that screwing mud flaps to the fender would void the paint warranty!
That doesn't make any sense haha. They are held there by screw clips
2nd upgrade was rear end
How about "Tail Gate" indication.........
I have two f150's, 1997 & 2019. While installing a Roush CAI on the 19, it was still running when I popped the hood, I was surprised to see a "Hood Ajar" indication. With that said, WTF can't they put a "Tail Gate Ajar" or "Tail Gate Down" indication. I have tonneau covers on both and on more than a few occasions I left "contents" on the ground. I figure since they spent the time to let me know what's going on in front of me, how about letting me know what I can't see. Also, luv my engine compartment light on my 97.
Have you noticed any difference in the signal from the shorter antenna? I just got a new F150 and I keep getting distracted by the long antenna flopping around in the wind when I drive - I was thinking about doing the same thing
Nope. Short antenna is great. The specific one I purchased said it had like a repeater in the antenna so reception would be better than oem.
Generally if you listen to AM, longer is better. For FM you can get away with a shorter antenna (but longer is still better). . . If there is no 12 volts supplied to the antenna "booster" it's just some extra wire coiled up (to make it electrically longer). Generally longer is better (for reception) but for how you use it (and how most radios automatically boost weaker signals and cut down stronger ones) you might get away with a shorter one and not notice any difference. But if you live in the sticks and listen to far away stations on am or fm I would stick with the stock one.
I replaced mine with a crappy short one from autozone. The only thing I noticed is that when I listen to WGR 550 which is the AM sports station in Buffalo, and I pull into a parking garage, it gets slightly static, but still fine to hear. Where as with the long antenna there was no static at all. Not big enough of a deal for me to put the long antenna back on. sirius XM and FM work just fine.
That one of those goofy rubber ones that bends in the wind? Or is it pretty solid.
No lol. It's solid. Doesn't move.
Why bother, buying rubber mat, antenna, Ford already included rubber mat that perfectly designed for 2022 F-150, the Antenna is pretty damn cool antenna, why I think so, because I just purchased one of them 2022 F-150 Lariat space white loaded with future on it, including panoramic roof, fantastic sound system leather seat, the Truck is a gorgeous luxury Truck is powerful smooth ride, absolutely futuristic, I did not understand why some guys wanted messing around with it. I think whoever designed and the engineer that truck is must be brilliant, I’m not an engineer or truck designer, the day I purchased my Truck, I do some researches, read and listening, and watch media for that type model/Lariat before I purchased I also do spent some time to inspected myself and did a driving test with it. Before I do inspection, I took a good look that truck and I just fell in love at the first sight. And yeah…I must admit The Truck absolutely a gorgeous looking truck and it’s also a beast. I’m not going do anything with it, except that I did purchased a bed liner, mud protection, and wheel well liner and Leer power retractable Tonneau cover, that’s all I’m not going to lift or level it either I’m just going to keep original the $75 grands plus taxes and licenses is little bit over $80 grands I have not noticed if Ford missing anything to it, is a fantastic ride smooth as butter smooth maneuvering, plus as I said pretty damn futuristic for a Truck, why do I want messing around with it, I’m not engineer nor designer
You buy products that are designed by professionals to better the truck. That's what the world of aftermarket is. My truck did nit have rubber mats. And again, my mats I purchased are better than factory IMO as they cover the creases. Which is a great example of why to buy aftermarket.
I lifted and added mudding tires to my 2020 limited. you can do what you want to anything. 100k plus truck :)
What about the spash guards in front of you back wheels are those factory-installed?
The splash guards for the rear wheels? No they are not factory installed.
@BoltsNBoost can u share the information about them brand where u got them. Thank you just to be clear. I'm talking about the ones in front of the rear tires
I put weathertech no drills on my 22' F150. Love them, I've put them on my last 2 trucks as well.
Do you have a catch can
Not yet. But I have been thinking about one.
I m still waiting for mine. But i won't buy anything husky. All husky products sucks. Weathertech is much better...
Should have just checked the box when you ordered.
The husky liners is fits a Lariat2022 too??
It should! Yep. Same truck! I just checked the link in my description and the ad says fits Supercrews without the fold flat storage!
@@BoltsNBoost thank
All F-150s are the same truck except for Raptor.
It’s crazy that ford doesn’t do wheel liners, I have to buy them every time🤬
Yeah, agree
Only higher trims comes with those installed.
@@angelc7140 my dad just bought the highest trim. No Liners.
@@BoltsNBoost I guess it's different from dealer to dealer. I just bought at 22 f150 yesterday and a platinum there with the liners installed. Also my xlt came with the rubber mats from factory and I know alot people don't get it on the xlt
@@angelc7140 yeah it probably varies. Would make sense.
Did you paint gray or black your original rims? If so how you did ? Thank you
No I didn't. They are factory gun metal.
Do you have a 302a high you should of added leather seats I have a 302a dealer gave me option to add leather for $1200
I have that option. Katzkin. I like my seats. Leather causes extreme cold kr extreme heat
Try driving in the middle of nowhere with that short antenna. It don’t work. I gave mine away to a city driver and went back to factory
I'd rather listen to my own music anyway, or Sat radio . I'm good.
I may have misunderstood but how did you have rust issues on an f150
Frame? Any other steal.
Aluminum still corrodes. And corrodes fast when it starts.
@@BoltsNBoost yes but it’s not the same as rust. You said rust so that’s what I thought you meant. I have a brand new f150 I just bought in December going to the body shop under warranty for galvanic corrosion next week.
@@TheQwikset no way! Already? Where at
@@BoltsNBoost front right quarter panel. They're gonna fix it under warranty I'm worried that it will come back
@@christopherbell8903 damn. My front right was damaged by the dealer. And it was a complete nightmare. Body shop did a piss poor job at first... was back and forth. Inspect it forsure
You know that paint protection plans are a scam 😂
I work at an OEM supplier and the paint protection plans the dealership offers are way overpriced for one reason and that's to line their pockets. Next time just shop after the deal
Yes I'm fully aware and agree. But like I said I wanted done in one shot. I also didn't pay too bad considering.
Getting a spray in bed liner to protect the paint doesn’t make much sense. When they prep the bed they scuff the paint all over so it sticks. I get linex in mine but it’s not for paint protection.
Um? I think most people would disagree with you there... it makes total sense...
@@BoltsNBoost not to protect the paint. Watch an install video for spray in bed liner.
@@Ericg3654 why would I ever want to remove the spray in bedliner to see the paint underneath it anyway. A drop in is going to mess up your paint too.
Does the new f150 still has the loud radiator fan?????
Not that I have noticed?
@@BoltsNBoost glad to hear! You sold me to get the new f150. I'm tired hearing my 2013 f150 loud fan 😔
@@BoltsNBoost Yup, Sirius all the way, oldie radio shows, 60's & 70's music, etc.
On April 29/22 I ordered an XLT 302a, fairly loaded, it was delivered to dealer Sept 24 and I found Ford had deleted some options: SiriusXM, the built-in navigation and adaptive cruise; all items I wanted! So I refused the truck. Dealer said if we ordered a 23 XLT there is no guarantee they won't delete those options again.
So after 4 weeks of sitting on the fence, on Oct 25, I ordered a Lariat 502a where those items are standard, costing me $11000 more than an 22 XLT (2 price increases and model year increase). Dealer (Cavalcade Ford, Bracebridge) did discount the Lariat by $7500 from full pop, still it is $11K more just to get my Sirius!!!
Too easy for thieves to remove
Uhh which part? Antenna? That's really all...you try removing fender liners lol... or a tonneau c9ver with locked gate
Talks to much
Too**
Shut it off as soon as I heard "...beauty...".....🤨
Really sorry you're triggered by a word.
@@BoltsNBoost Idon't know what "triggered" is...it just sounds totally inappropriate as a descriptor for the given situation, but indicates lazy use of the English language...it sounds dumb....sorry you were "triggered" by my comment!!
@@tjzulu1 I wasn't. I don't let petty things on videos run my life like you do lol.. get a life.
