2024 Ford F450 Limited Must-Have Accessories (FIRST OF MANY)

[@jasongallo969]

When I hit the lottery I want that truck and a brinkley 3950

[@FulltimingBrinkley3950]

I have the truck (except it’s a white 450 Limited), just waiting for my 3950 to get delivered. ANXIOUS!

[@1StrangeAdventure]

That would be a pretty combo!

[@chasinfun365]

We're ordering the 3950 and that F450 in Winter of 25... Retiring Spring 26... Hoping Brinkley keeps the 3950 going

[@chasinfun365]

Do the Tonneau Cover yourself It's VERY easy and saves you a ton on install... Usually free shipping.

[@Sharpey_31]

That Brinkley is sick.

[@robv4053]

You may find the Ford flaps don't give you the protection you really want. I suggest paint protection film on the dually fenders because chips are so obvious with the dark colors and then Duraflaps with extended length. A very good looking truck and spray-in bedliner the way to go! One thing you may want to do now that you're moving over to towing goose with safety chains, put a door mat on the bed floor for the chains to lay on/sweep across. It'll avoid obvious drag lines from forming in the bedliner. I just use the perforated rubber mat we put at the foot of our 5er's steps when setting up camp. Safe journeys!

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Great suggestions. Thanks!

[@mikeboutet9552]

Before the rear diff cover starts to oxidize, you should paint it black and while still wet use a rag and wipe off the paint from the top of each fin. Then spray the whole cover with urethane or a clear coat. I did my ram 5 yrs ago, it still looks new. Check out Banks diff covers so you know what I’m talking about. The oxidized cover will be an eye soar. 😊

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@jdnunnery1082]

Nice job on the flaps. When I put mine on our ram, I had a Ford guy help me out. The Drivers side came out a little crooked 😉. Retrax is an awesome bedcover. We had one on our 3/4 ton back in the day. Well worth it, you won't be disappointed.

[@Captain-Awesome]

We picked up a Brinkley Z3610 and a 2024 F350 SRW 6.7 HO Platnium Tremor to tow it and my daily. I wanted to have some Offroad ability other wise this is the truck I would have bought. I absolutely love both of them!!

[@JB-jr3bm]

The 450s drive great. Amazing turning radius. Don't neglect draining the water filter!

[@jdms1eeper]

Congrats on the new truck! Always glad to see y’all doing well 💪

[@DreamingOutloudRVing]

You finally wised up and bought a Ford!! 😊

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Haha- yup!

[@chrisroy8668]

Nice truck! did you look into Gatorback mud flaps? they are a licensed Ford accessory and have brackets available for a no drill installation. Very clean product. As for installing “generic” mud flaps and wanting to make sure they’re straight, never use a level unless you ‘now your truck is sitting level. One good way is to use a straight edge across the top of the box and square down the outside vertical edge of the mud flaps you chose. Just a tip.

[@earlhamil731]

I had an 08 F450 and a fiver that scaled 30,000# together. Loved the truck. Sold it with 138,000 miles on it and still had original brakes. Tires went 102,000. The $120,000 Carriage Turned out to be junk. Short sold it and still have $23,000 to payoff. Never again.

[@earlhamil731]

The truck was fine. Never had a repair except for warranty on the fuel filter and the radiator. The RV was a disaster

[@earlhamil731]

@sds415sds never had an engine problem. Ford quality right now is terrible. $5 billion in warranty claims last year, truck queued up everywhere awaiting ship due to quality issues.

[@CharlesHam1906]

Crazy that you got an oem ford flap, but it wasn't predrilled. Great looking truck.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

I agree! Thanks!

[@markmiller2659]

Congratulations love my Ford welcome to the family.

[@earlhamil731]

Those rear splash guards look really kool with a red LED light bar on them tied into your taillights.

[@D.Wilson2]

Just got the same flaps. Nice install, but they shouldn’t have extended down more than 10.1 inches. I’ll be breaking out my tape measure if I ever see you on the road. 😆🚨 6:09

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Haha! Guilty! I needed a little more coverage for the RV. So far, they’re good to go!

[@ednachapman7536]

I enjoyed this video you’re truck is beautiful love and prayers for all your travels

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Thank you so much! Love you!

[@talonpilot]

Congrats on the truck! Sad part is, that is a LIMITED edition and it didnt have a spray in bed liner! WTF! For the price of a Limited, maybe not the mud flaps or ball…. But it should damn well come with a sprayed bed!

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Easy upgrade and I would rather have it not sprayed if it means getting the truck. Every add on makes the build take longer for some reason, which is why we didn't add it from the factory.

[@myriadcorp]

I got line x and then retrax pro cover from them. Very happy with both.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

We love it as well... great addition to the truck.

[@TonyMitchell442]

I see at 0:43 you got the Stanley option. Was that a factory or aftermarket option?😄 Seriously, great looking truck.

[@markdeguzman5505]

I'm so jealous. It's my dream, but hopefully, one day. Congratulations

[@peteallen2887]

Got my 2024 F450 Limited mid May. Less than 1600 miles and the AC compressor goes out. An issue coming out of the Kentucky plant. I am 880 on the back order list with no delivery date estimated. And I live in LA, (lower Alabama) and here now in June - July summer HEAT

[@destinationfulltime]

Curious to see how you like the new hitch. The extra space in the bed will be nice for sure.

[@brown1william]

The 450 needs to be my next truck. I wish I had just bought it instead of the 2500 I have now. The 2500 works with what I have now but 40' toy haulers have gotten very tongue heavy the last 7 years and now I can't really upgrade without getting a bigger truck.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

You will never go back to a 2500 for towing. It will be a huge difference.

[@RidgeRunner5150]

The bottom of each rear flap should align with the opposite side, level means nothing unless the truck is level. Aesthetically, being they are the same side to side (use a piece of string or eyeball) is what matters.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Love the string idea. Thanks!

[@lilkeifer06]

Any truck should come with a factory spray in bed liner.

[@adrianleusink1970]

Beautiful F450. Congrats!

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Thank you very much!

[@sunshinervtravlers57]

Love Love love your new truck , are going to bedliner it ? I get the spray on bedliner on every truck. Lol never mind you said your getting it done.

[@Reshard834]

Incredibly nice Ford truck. Congrats!!

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Thanks! We love it so far.

[@taylerdrumgoole6835]

Hey awseome truck congrats! I have a F450 Limited being built as we speak, I have a couple questions....Does adding the FX4 package remove the stock G rated Continental tires and replace them with the traction tires? Will that reduce long distance driving/wear and tear? Also, for hotshotting, do you think air bag suspension added in is overkill? Thank you!

[@MegaRetr]

Wow F450😊 love it

[@mfrain3870]

Don’t leave the empty case in the bed of your truck while towing. Mine blew out and had to get a new one. And I lost my little covers as well😢

[@KMT15]

Ugh I’ve had an F450 limited on order since August to replace my 2018 F450 limited. Wish it would hurry up

[@wkcampbell1]

Nice truck! Those flaps are to short, Duraflaps!

[@Nobody_important_at_all]

lol, do pretty much everything changing lanes did with their f450. Maybe add a brush guard for distinction.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Great channel! Love those guys.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

They did a great job

[@dougcjohn]

Great looking Truck.. the OEM spray in liner option lists for $595. Why not order it with factory sprayed liner?

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Most dealers will tell you to only add what can’t be installed later when ordering the higher trims. Every option you add has the potential to delay your build.

[@stevedenoyer5956]

Looks awesome!

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Thanks!

[@stevedenoyer5956]

My rig! I ordered a platinum, same exact truck. You get the HO? How long did yours take?

Yep. The limited comes with the HO. It took 16 months ☹️

They used to do 100,000 mil ESP Premium and a 200,000 miles on the diesel engine. FWIW my radiator replacement was $1,300 and I paid the sales tax and replacement coolant - about $90 plus $100 deductible

[@1StrangeAdventure]

I did not choose that option. It would have taken longer to deliver.

[@charlesalaniz5296]

@@1StrangeAdventure that sucks it would take longer

[@jeffreyferguson83]

Who knows why they dropped the Limited in the F-150 But kept it in the F-250 and up? The F-150 now has the Platinum Plus!

[@1StrangeAdventure]

No clue why manufacturers do what they do bye we sure do love the limited trim on our 450!

[@1hasbeen531]

First mod should be the DCR pump kit.

[@TonyBenton0728]

It’s cheaper to use fuel additive’s. And buy fuel from places that sell large quantities.

[@1hasbeen531]

​@@TonyBenton0728 additives might help, but won't fix a poorly designed pump. The CP4 is garbage.

[@TonyBenton0728]

@@1hasbeen531 Well I have a 2022 F450 and I am using Hot Shot Secret or Archoil . Because the U.S. fuel is a drier fuel than in Europe . If I was to do anything I would install the disaster prevention kit. And if you do your research about 7% of the fuel pumps fail in the U.S. and 1% in Europe.

[@louie3552]

And replace the cold side intercooler pipe with aftermarket. Second the comment on the DCS fuel pump replacement for the CP4 Ford fuel pump. Hotshot Secret Every Day diesel fuel additive a must until DCS fuel pump replacement. Finally, use the Blue DEF “platinum” day one. Lots of evidence of the above on YT.

[@louie3552]

Note: some dealerships are using the clause in the Ford Warranty that the CP4 failure was “customer caused by using bad fuel”, and sticking the customer with the $12k $18k fuel pump failure and the damage caused repair bill.

I know the limitations of the HDT because it restricts when you can go. And my guess is you are out west where it makes a little more sense to have one. Me being from the southeast there are very few rv campgrounds that can hold a HDT. I don’t have the desire to drive a HDT for pleasure.
