Help me spend the money :)

If you had a store credit at your dealer.... what would you get ?

Very thankful for good things lately around the household allowed two NICE new Fords to be put in the garage...
I have a great problem to pick something either for a 2013 f-350 platinum with the option list below (YEAH !!! )
OR
something for the wife's new 2013 Explorer Sport.... (Nah !!!)

the real issue is that the 350 came with SO much more than I wanted,
not much left to choose from !

Do any of you have and how do you like it:
ceramic Tint ?
bed extender
splash guards
Cargo Organizer
rear sway bar
locking fuel cap ?
or anything else not listed that Ford dealer would offer???

I can't decide.... and some of the stuff I can get aftermarket and/or cheaper,
so guess I should focus on the ford only items ?

(Included the Explorer Option list just in case I relent and get HER something for HER leased explorer )


this is one of the nicer issues I've had to deal with in a while

How about the floor mats? I don't recall the name. But they are
the ones that are moulded to fit.
What about remote start and alarm? The type that will call your phone
to tattle to you.
Retractable aluminum tonneau covers with lock keyed to the ignition key.
Speaking of. A set of locks for the hitch that is also keyed to the ignition key. Here is the link.
One-Key Lock Technology - Learns YOUR key the first time you use them — BOLT Locks by Strattec

For the Explorer get a cargo mat that is the rubber moulded to fit kind that also matches
the carpet in the rig.
Something she might really like. A total detailing of the rig. Shine it up so she needs
sunglasses to look at it.

Then because the wife is involved tell the dealer he/she has to get you a nice dinner at a
good place a little bit out of town. (wink Wink) And maybe a sitter for any children you may have.

BTW you did not say how much you have left to spend.

Kelderman air suspension systems. 4-link for the rear and bags for the front. I was going to do this to my 250, but just can't afford it since I bought a house.

When I bought my Platinum, I had a spray in bedliner and tinted windows done.
There's so much standard on these things, there aren't many options left. ☺

Thanks for the ideas ! keep 'em coming ... I keep building my 'wish list' and forgetting I need to focus on items only Ford provides since I can get other things elsewhere...

looking at the options already on them both... it does leave very few things to add

the bed extender that folds up and out of the way is pushing to the top as I keep a long bar to pull things that slide forward in the 250 now...

hmmm, would a clear bra on the truck do any good or is it too high ?

re air bags, I had them on the 250 and they actually made it ride rougher, HOPING I won't need them on the 350 since it has a 11,500 gvw... we'll see with a 2900 pin weight 5er

will definetly get tint done as the front and back windows look like they are on different trucks now !!!!

Carpeted floor mats; the Ford ones fit the mold on the driver's side.
Here's a link for models and part numbers:
Ford Floor Mats Accessories | The Official Site for Ford Custom Accessories

There are some other iitems that might be of interest on that site as well.

BTW I have found that Ford does not sell a locking gas cap for the 6.7.
