I've got $800 I can spend on additional mods and figured I'd see what others would do based on experience. I've got a list of things put together, just not sure which I should go for, might be awhile before I have more $$ to drop on the truck. Here is the list I've got:

42” Curved Light Bar for front bumper
Painted door handles
Upper glove box
Pedal Commander
S&B Intake 75-5066
Center console
Undercover Swing boxes
Window deflectors
New muffler
Carven 5” exhaust tips
Projector headlight upgrade
Head unit upgrade (already have aftermarket speakers)

I baby my truck 99% of the time so I'm not really looking for performance upgrades per se, but if something can make the engine work less I'm all for it. I have a S&B intake on my 2012 and I like it, the Pedal Commander gets such good reviews that I'm interested in one, just not sure if I'd get the enjoyment others do since I tend to drive like a grandpa lol. I've got a catch can on pre-order.

Here the truck for reference:

The pedal commander you will feel 100% of driving time. You don't have to use it to be hard on the truck, but it just drives better. Once you pick the right setting for your driving style, you will be hooked.

But for me, I would put the stereo above that. Typically that is the first thing I upgrade when I get a vehicle without the top of the line stereo. My '15 has the infinity system with the 8.4 Navi unit... So I skipped this and when Pedal Commander first.

I did the cabin air filter and tailgate assist first, because they were just so cheap to do.

I would do the Carven direct fit kit with tips and the pedal commander. With our discount that should still leave u with a little left over cash for some small stuff.

Don't forget about window decals !!! The proper mix of decals and you will get improved performance and aesthetic improvements.

Lol. I might toss a few sponsor stickers on if I'm pressured to, otherwise it's staying clean.
