[IdahoRanger]

Same as many of you: dealer decal.

Got lucky for the most part. They either don't or forgot to put a dealer sticker on. So the first thing removed from the truck was my happy ass from the drivers seat when I got home. Then I realized that they did not install the antenna, so I went back so the could put one on. Got back home & took the dealer plate frame off. Then checking my truck over real good I found the antenna in the cowl area by the windshield wiper's so I have a spare. Then the air pressure went down. Then I noticed they only put water in the windshield fluid reservoir, was in Texas at the time, so I had to pump out the water to install fluid.

Also removed the rear dealer license plate bracket but that didn't change my parking one iota...

At this point I don't think there's anything you can do.

First thing I took off was the tailgate, hinges and latch brackets off the bed.

I had the dealer remove the FX-4 decals prior to delivery. I was happy to see no eco boost badge when I picked it up because that would have been next. The silver, two-piece lug nuts were the first things that I removed and were replaced with one-piece black lug nuts. It’s a blackout package, damnit! Chrome and blue emblems were finally replaced with black and smoke chrome OEM replacements recently once the supply chain caught up with demand.

...the FX4 shocks.
They were upsetting my tummy. My Fox 2.0's are much better for my digestion.?

I got an XLT sport so it had the air dam and half skid plate. Swapped that out for FX4 skid plate. Ditched the dealer sticker day I got it. Swapped out side marker lights with black aftermarket ones.

Is the air dam really an eyesore? I hardly notice mine, far less then the silver bumper I have yet to plastidip black.

I removed the dealer sticker and the sport stickers. Sport is like what a dad calls his son when he's 10 years old.

i also quickly removed all the dealer stuff, mine had the individual stuck on fake chrome plastic letters... that was annoying. took of the front plate holder and then the screen protector on the touch screen. i should have left that, its already got a scratch lol. eventually i removed the stock rear shocks.

Get a glass screen protector for your touch screen. Looks better and protects it from getting worse

Tailgate damper was first. Followed that up with those darn middle tiedowns. After that I pulled off that silly engine cover and the bezel around the ignition. Realized how big the center console was and pulled the divider tray out of there. Hood struts were the next to go. Decided the PRNDS light was obnoxious and disabled that. Finished up my mods by ripping out the trailer break controller and associated wiring.

Truck would be so much better if it just came this way from the factory.

PS: Ford if you're reading this, I feel that I am fully qualified to join your design team!
