Your new Ford already comes with lots of features like cupholders, a touchscreen and maybe some ambient lighting.  But there might still be some cool accessories to make it more complete.  Here are some awesome options.

1.  All-Weather Floor Mats

Just like we did, you need to put wall-to-wall, rubberized floor mats at the top of your list.  They save your floors from stains, which can increase the value when you go to trade your vehicle in.  Plus, it makes cleaning the interior so much easier.  Pull them out, wash and dry them and put them back in.  While you’re at it, get one for the cargo area, too.

2. Folding Cargo Organizer

If you are a freak about being organized, this is a must-have to keep your vehicle neat and tidy.  Whether you need to organize necessities that you keep in your car like a first aid kit and jumper cables or you want to prevent your groceries from rolling around, a trunk organizer is up to the task.  You can get different variations, with different sized compartments.  Some even come with cooler compartments-perfect for a gallon of milk for the ride home.  Then when it’s not needed, you can fold it up and store it to save space.

3. Magnetic Phone Mount

Be safe on the road with a magnetic phone mount, a convenient and safe accessory.  No more holding your phone trying to view directions or making a call.  A magnetic base clips to an air vent and a metal plate is adhered to the back of your phone.  Place our phone on the base and viola. 

4. Escape Tracks

Is your car spinning in a snowy parking lot?  Or is your truck sliding on a muddy road while you’re 4-wheeling?  Tire traction mats are perfect for our weather in the Inland Northwest, helping you regain traction and get your vehicle unstuck.  You can purchase escape tracks made of polypropylene plastic, making them lightweight and durable.  You can also get boards that are foldable, making storing a breeze.

5. Car Seat Organizer

Do you have any youngsters sitting behind you in the car?  Then an organizer that hangs on the seat is a must.  Seat organizers typically come with pockets for cups and snacks, slots for pads, pencils and crayons.  Many organizers have a dedicated tablet holder.  This is very useful for long drives, keeping the tablet visible and in place for kids to enjoy their favorite movie or educational shows. 

6. Tissue Dispenser

You sneeze, yet have no fear, a tissue is near.  With a convenient tissue dispenser attached to your sun visor, a tissue in need is always at hand.  Tissues nearby are useful for a spill, cleaning surfaces or unexpected messes.

7. Travel Road Kit

Emergency essentials in your car is a great way to be prepared for unforeseen situations.  Put together a kit and have all the necessary items packed up in one tidy bag.  We suggest a kit that includes:

  • Jumper cables
  • First-aid supplies
  • Flashlight
  • Duct tape (because you can never have enough of that)
  • Towel
  • Batteries
  • Water
  • Hammer, screwdriver and wrench
  • Extra phone charger

8. Tire Air Compressor

You’re on the road and your Ford Pass App issues a tire pressure monitor system warning.  You’re miles from the nearest gas station.  That is when a portable tire pump will be a lifesaver.  Pump up that tire and be on your way safely to the next station you find. 

9. USB Adapter

Even with the USB outlets supplied by manufacturers these days, sometimes it still isn’t enough.  That’s when an adapter that fits into the cigarette lighter port comes in handy.  Many of these adapters are equipped with two additional USB ports, allowing to charge smartphones, tablets or portable speakers. 

10. Mud Flaps

Protect your investment with molded splash guards.  The flaps are designed to deflect mud, snow, ice and debris away from the lower body panels.  This helps prevent damage, scratches and paint chips on your vehicle’s body.  You can drive up a snowy mountain or down a muddy road and feel assured that the guards are shielding your vehicle.  Besides protection, they look cool!  It’s a win win!
