The Latest in Elec‘truck’nics

Electronics are among the most exciting modifications you can add to your vehicle. This exhilarating field jumps forward by leaps and bounds every day. So, there’s only going to be more and more fashionable electronic Ford accessories for you to deck out your vehicle with as time goes on.

Bullfrog Bluetooth Speakers

Speakers are often a fun accessory, but it can be hard to find something suitable. It’s difficult to pin down that perfect set of speakers that scratches every itch you have. But with Bullfrog Bluetooth speakers, you get a little of everything, making these solid audio product. A lot of speakers are delicate or sensitive hardware, but Bullfrog speakers fit the tough, rough-and-ready style of Ford vehicles. Bullfrog speakers are dust and water resistant, making them an ideal choice for camping or a day at the beach. They recharge in only 2.5 hours but play continuously for up to 20 hours. The speakers can stream audio up to a hundred feet away, and their double-sided 360-degree design allows for plenty of volume. And with the companion app, Bullfrog speakers have plenty of utility and can be calibrated to please even the pickiest audiophile.

Bumper-Mounted Warning Sensors

So you’ve got a new truck from the local Ford dealership. It’s a beautiful, sparkling achievement in engineering hauled by one of the brand’s legendary engines. It’s breathtaking, a real dream car, and just as you’re backing out of the car lot, the unthinkable happens. You accidentally ding the rear of the vehicle. Your brand-new truck just went from pristine to dented in seconds flat.

With a vehicle of this size, it’s easier to do than you might think. That’s why Ford offers bumper-mounted warning sensors. These futuristic, ultrasonic eyes scan up to seven feet behind your vehicle. This way, you can be alerted to the presence of other vehicles, that telephone pole that always comes out of nowhere, and other hazards.

Ford Perimeter Plus Security System

Owning a new car or truck can be a stirring experience; that new-car smell is just the best, after all. But it can also be a stressful and worrying time for a driver; after all, how can you leave your $45,000 babysitting out there on the street where anyone passing by can mess with it? If you’re worried about security, there’s the Ford Perimeter Plus Security System. This two-stage alarm system registers impacts against the glass or body of your vehicle and either emits a single beep in warning or a full-on alarm.

Wireless Charging Kit

It seems like everybody and their dog has a smartphone of some kind these days. And the only thing more common than the phones themselves is getting stuck with a dying battery at the last second.  It pays to be prepared with a solution to this all-too-common problem. The Wireless Charging Kit by JVIS allows you to charge a smartphone without the hassle of fishing out the right charging cord. Your phone fits snug as a bug in a rug into the charging port and allows you to charge your phone even as you stream music or make hands-free phone calls.

Remote Start System

Remote starting was already a pretty cool idea. Waltz up to your car and start it before you even get in, like something out of a James Bond film. But Ford has pushed the envelope in this already novel technology. The Ford Remote Start system notifies you when the car is started; you don’t even have to see the vehicle at the time to know it’s ready and running. This latest version of Ford’s Remote Start system also comes with Progressive Car Find and Real Panic Sound.

Superior Interior

Any car commercial worth its salt features some gorgeous photography of the car or truck’s interior. It may not be the first thing that comes to your mind when you’re looking at the gleaming body of your new car, but the interior will affect every part of your driving experiences. That’s why it only makes sense to pick up the very best interior accessories.

Sport Pedals

Your poor pedals—they work so hard for you. After all, you’ve put the proverbial foot to their neck all the time. If only there were something you could do to jazz up their routine a little bit. Maybe with a killer makeover, for instance. Sport pedals are the best way to bring some style and excitement into your Mustang. The gleaming, damage-resistant aluminum and slip-resistant insert pads leave you prepared for anything and looking good while you’re at it.

Vehicle Safe by Console Vault

You’re probably already feeling pretty confident with that solid Ford body and sophisticated security system. But there are some valuables too precious to leave anything to chance (you don’t leave a signed Garth Brooks CD sitting on the seat, after all). The Vehicle Safe from Console Vault is the perfect accessory for this kind of situation. A far cry from a simple latchkey glovebox, the Vehicle Safe is made from 12-gauge cold rolled plate steel and includes a three-point locking mechanism, as well as a four-digit keypad with 10,000 potential passwords. The Vehicle Safe is drill-resistant and doesn’t require inconvenient measures, such as console replacement.

Tablet Cradle

Vehicle entertainment systems are a common sight now, and for good reason. Popping in a movie can be a spectacular way to keep kids pacified on long car rides and adults engaged during trips.  What if, instead of a whole separate entertainment system, you just had a way of accommodating your iPad? You didn’t pay for that unlimited data plan for nothing, after all. The Tablet Cradle by Lumen lets you do precisely that. The Tablet Cradle rotates into a variety of angles to permit everyone to get a good viewing angle as well as prevent glare. It’s also easily installed and easily removed.

Hey, Guess What’s ‘Next’error

Your car body is kind of like a handshake. It’s how your vehicle made its first impression on you and how it introduces you as you drive up. But, in addition to that, your car exterior offers you a lot of opportunities for expression and utility.

Sportz SUV Tents

Everyone knows Ford makes great SUVs for exploring the great outdoors. But what you may not know about is the Sports SUV Tent from Naper. These tents incorporate your SUV into your camping area, making the cargo area function as an extended part of the tent. This feature means you can use your SUV as an additional sleep area, as a storage space, or as a place to spread out a tarp and have a picnic. The tent area itself is expansive, with enough room for four to six people and a bathtub-style floor for sealing out water even in extreme weather.

Rack Cargo Box

Speaking of camping, the importance of having proper cargo space cannot be overstated. SUVs and trucks, of course, have plenty of room, but if you need a little space on top and want to make sure the weather doesn’t fiddle with it, there are the racks and carriers from Thule. These are solid cargo receptacles that look classy on your truck or SUV roof and are easy to load, as their sides open.

Cars and trucks are a significant investment. They play major roles in getting us from one place to another in our lives and feature in some of our most precious moments. While it’s easy to feel pride when you drive away from a local Ford dealership in your brand-new truck, remember to make your car your own and get accessories that cater to your lifestyle.
