The Ford F-150 is the best-selling full-size pickup truck in the United States. There are literally millions of F-150s on the road today. To stand out from that crowd, it takes a lot of customization to set your F-150 apart. The automotive aftermarket is full of thousands of parts and accessories to make customizing your Ford F-150 fairly easy. Find the right combination of aftermarket accessories for your Ford and you'll get a custom truck that no one else has.
Change the color of your Ford F-150. This is one of the most expensive but most noticeable ways to customize your truck. Go for a complete color change or paint custom graphics on the truck. A dramatic but inexpensive alternative is to apply vinyl graphics to the existing paint job.
Get a new set of rims and tires for your Ford F-150 in a much larger diameter than the stock set. Most F-150s came with 15 or 16 inch rims, with the newest models having an 18 inch wheel option. Larger aftermarket rims, up to 22 inches, can be fitted onto the truck without problems. When using these larger wheels, the sidewall size of the tire should be smaller than the factory size. Aftermarket rims for trucks are available in chrome, billet, aluminum and stainless steel.
Add horsepower to your truck to increase towing power or to make it faster. A cold air intake is a very quick upgrade that can add several horsepower over the factory air box. A cat-back exhaust system is also a quick and effective upgrade.
Turn the interior of your pickup truck into an entertainment area with aftermarket stereo, speakers and television monitors. The F-150 is available in single, extended and crew-cab models, all of which have more than enough room for large speakers and extra monitors. The carpet and seats can also be re-covered with more custom colors and materials for a complete custom feel.
Lower or raise the suspension of the truck, depending on your uses. Most four wheel drives are raised while two wheel drives are lowered. Both use kits which can replace the factory suspension parts for an instant custom ride height.
