I would consider it in the top three add on accessories.

What are the other two?

A class 3 hitch receiver,
A spray in bed liner

Then multiple cameras

And a secure garage to put it in.
Then
A galvanized bumper/ grill guard .

One of the things I like most about my new ride is the 360° cameras. Also has the Class 3 hitch.

While I do have a garage, there's no way I'd ever be able to wedge the truck in there and still get out of it.

Was able to get a Roll-N-Lock secondhand.

If you can find one for cheap, they can sell you a replacement lock & key assembly if you want to change it.

When we had a fiberglass topper shell on our trucks ,
I tried four different keys on its locks and they all worked.

So I tried a nail file and it worked.

I wonder if manufacturers are making keyed locks any better at all , these days ?

A lot of 70's and 80's p.u. trucks had after market bug deflectors mounted on the front of their hoods.

Ours worked great.

PPF made bug deflectors go the way of the DoDo bird.

Tuffy security box inside the cab. There are under seat models as well as console models. I’ve put 5 rifles and 2 handguns in the under seat model in a Super Crew F150. You can’t leave them in padded cases, I use gun socks if I need that many.

P.p.f. ?
Anyone ?
Class?

Paint protection film. Instead of installing a bug deflector and having it rub the shit out of your paint, people are installing clear vinyl to do the same thing. You can either just cover the same area as the old bug deflector (i.e. what I have on my truck) or you can have the whole hood done.

We put them on our trucks to keep the bugs off the windshield.

They were tall enough to disrupt the air flow .

I have a BAK MX4 tri fold hard cover too. We got it before a trip to Gulf shores where I was able to leave Buncha stuff in the bed which it being locked (beach stuff). It got all dented during the tornado last year (90mph golfball size hail) and i surance replaced it.

Most people put them on to prevent paint chips on that near vertical area of the hood. PPF has the paint chip protection upside without the downsides (moves and actually scratches paint, looks like hell, etc).

Although this looks interesting, I've not seen one in real life and can not attest to its functionality.

If the lottery money has arrived and the 1 ton was being upgraded
I'd be visiting Kelderman Manufacturing in eastern Iowa for an air ride suspension system.
