New F-150. Every weekend on the water. Four upgrades, in the order we'd actually do them.
Episode 1 of Upgrade My Ride — Dave builds a truck for a guy who fishes out of kayaks:
1️⃣ Retrax retractable bed cover — rods and tackle stay dry and locked while the truck sits at the ramp all day
2️⃣ Thule Xscape rack — adjustable, and gets the kayaks up off the bed so the bed stays free
3️⃣ DECKED drawer system — wet gear on one side, dry gear on the other, and you can actually find your tackle
4️⃣ Diode Dynamics HitchMount LED Pod — it's 4:30 in the morning and you're backing down a dark ramp. Comes on in reverse. Nobody thinks of this one until they need it.
That's the build.
