Congrats, any plans for mods?

wheels no longer say SVT on hub but resemble the old lock out style hub. FORD is printed on the part you turned with the manual style lock out hub.

Back door now swings past 90 degrees, so you can get to the back of the vehicle without closing the door, if you are in a tight spot.

Much easier to remove the back seat headrests. Now you have 3.
The old ones were huge and hit the roof when you tried to remove them.
It required a lot of roof bumping and bending to get them out.
Too bad they weren't all short,like the new center rest.

The rear left and right headrests do fold down when you press a button on the side. The back is parallel to the roof when folded.
I totally remove all three headrests and store them in my dog box. I like to see out the rear window and seldom have back seat passengers.

No it will remain stock.
Just adding a stubby antenna.

This is the factory bed liner. I like it. Always had Linex before. The Leading edge of the box is now curved. Thicker on the outboard edges than the center. The curve is on th window side to give it added strength. The back sliding window now has a bit of curve.

Sharp looking brushed aluminum door sill.
