Platinum Club

Q1: I really like the look of your hood deflector. Is that directly from Ford or somewhere else? Link?
Q2: I am considering also getting a Console Vault - which one did you select? Link?

Thank you!

Direct from my Ford parts guy. EZ install, used my reward points. Think it was like $99 or so.
Console Vault only makes one model for our year truck. Only option you have is a 3 or 4 number combo lock. This is my 3rd safe and I buy direct from them. Good people.

Nice! Not just Platinum Club, but Smoked Quartz club as well, the best combination. Your truck order is almost exactly the same as mine; I ended up scoring a dealer stock truck that had everything I wanted except the Max Tow Package, so I jumped on it.

Congrats on the new truck! I have to admit after seeing your photos it seriously has me rethinking the agate black Platinum (still waiting) ? I’ve never actually seen an SQ in person but this looks great! I will also note the Platinum wheels are starting to grow on me. The stock Ford photos just don’t do it justice. Looks great on your truck!!

@Lpetters84 -

Thank you. I had only seen 1 SQ back last Dec (which led me to order an SQ Platty back on Jan 2nd). They have been very hard to find in dealerships or in the wild - at least in MA. Frankly, I'd forgotten just how nice it is. Its the first thing people notice and compliment; I am very happy with this color!

As for the wheels, I have a similar experience, with them starting to grow on me. But the Hankook tires? They look (and are) cheap. While smooth on the highway in the summer, I am pretty sure they will be lousy in the New England winters. I still intend to get some KO2's down the road a bit.

You all are really making me question my decision to go with Agate Black! SQ looks sweet and like the Star White too. After seeing the custom chrome deleted Agate Black Platinum from Wild Willies I had to. I just placed my order, but looking forward to my new AB Platinum Powerboost coming in! Hopefully in a few months and not 6+.

I really should take more photos of my truck, it's gorgeous!

Just got my Plat this afternoon. I love the under back seat folding storage box, the work surface and the retractable bed cover. I can post pics later after all these rains in our area. By the way, it is Smoked Quartz with black leather. FX4 and towing package. So far I am really impressed and it is really much better than my 2019 Plat

Next Steps (Updated):

Order a Tonneau (RetraxPro); install
Install BedRug
Order Ford Wheel Well Liners; install
Install Ryanair 13" Antenna
Install the Mud Flaps
Install front and rear license plate holders (1 Clemson, 1 NC State)
Schedule the 2" Lift installation
Polish/Level the paint, as needed
Apply Ceramic Coating (CQ UK 2.0 + Gliss 2.0)
Apply Ceramic Protectants to the leather, the alcantera, glass, and plastic surfaces
Assess undercarriage rust; use Krylon and CC Marine (per this Forum) to eliminate it

I just had a Line-X spray-in bed liner installed (came out great!), so I haven't attached the BedRug to the bed as yet, but here is the BedRug laying on the bed of my SQ Platty -

It fit perfectly and is SO much easier on the knees! ;-)
