They are even cheaper on amazon.

It’s a type of “dampener” device that lets your tailgate down easily. The mod costs $20-$25. Several options exist out there. Here’s the one I used:

I have a 17 stx. Haven’t done any major upgrades yet but cheaper things I’ve added are

  • husky floormats off Amazon Backseat Front Seats (console style)
  • Found a used ARE campershell on Facebook marketplace for $500 not color matched but $500 was too good a deal to pass up after pricing out a brand new shell. Hoping to get it sprayed with bed liner eventually, I kind of dig the two tone.
  • [Black plastidipped all the chrome F150 badges on the side fenders and tailgate] (https://i.imgur.com/Mmp6iM7.jpg)
  • DeeZee tailgate assist
  • Peeled off the STX decals in the back, just looked dorky to me. Came off easy with just my fingernail.


    Future stuff I want to add include

  • Subwoofers. Maybe it's just me but the sound system is totally lacking. I had 2 12's in my SUV before owning this truck and I constantly find myself missing them.
  • Leveling kit
  • Will probably also plastidip the wheels after seeing a few other folks do it to their STX wheels. Otherwise keeping my eyes on Craigslist or Facebook to eventually get a set of raptor takeoffs.
  • LED headlights eventually. Crazy expensive it seems for a nice set though, those will probably wait for me.
  • You could get the FORSCAN device and make changes to your truck/computer system, I haven't done it yet but will eventually.

I have basically the same thing, except the STX with 20" wheels. Same color scheme, everything. I loved the black on blue.

  • This is the tonneau cover I bought.
  • This and this should cover your interior if you don't already have them. Lifetime warranty, and they cover basically all the carpeting.
  • I also bought one of these tailgate shocks, so you can drop it and it doesn't just slam down.

It’s a cylinder. I think this is it...

Here's something incredibly minor: I just put a tailgate assist shock on my '17 today. It takes about 10 minutes to install, feels great when you lower the tailgate, and only costs $25.

u/connorkmiec93 · 1 pointr/f150

This is what you want. Well worth it and easy install.

I can see the higher prices for bed covers that are electric or whatever, but the ones that are some aluminum and hinges seem way overpriced. Oh man, you overpaid at 60, those puppies are 25 on amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Dee-Zee-DZ43204-Tailgate-Assist/dp/B01AP2BNS0/ref=sr_1_1?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI7Ifa4-nk4wIVD5-fCh0Ghg6YEAAYASAAEgJfWfD_BwE&hvadid=324825934280&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9002290&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t1&hvqmt=b&hvrand=13704358256447364681&hvtargid=kwd-330416795004&hydadcr=6149_9589956&keywords=tailgate+assist&pd_rd_r=7587b763-2400-4676-bfea-a3c7dbe9353f&pd_rd_w=I19xi&pd_rd_wg=AgeHF&pf_rd_p=9ff8ac19-86ca-4471-91f7-d0c0ecfc7454&pf_rd_r=WWK6FEAYW5SCQMF0M5VP&qid=1564770890&s=automotive&sr=1-1&vehicle=2016-54-666-656-87-53-6-8-20042--8-1-2937--&vehicleName=2016+Ford+F-150
