Leased my 2022 Badlands while still working, have since retired and bought out my lease and purchased a Ford extended warranty. Wanted to eliminate a car payment and have some protection with an extended warranty. So now that the BL is mine it's time to make some changes, I will update the thread as I make those changes and include photos.

1st up interior storage upgrades, molle seatback storage system and molle first aid kit and small fire extinguishers.

Interior carbon look covers on interior components. All available via EBay at reasonable prices.

I have a thing for carbon fiber, I have a Yamaha R1 sportbike that has a ton of carbon fiber components and bodywork. So I guess this is a carryover to that addiction. Thank god the titanium bug has not taken hold on the BL.

Looks good, except for the blacked out tail lights.

How did you go about buying out your lease? I kind of fell into the payment when I didn't really plan as well as I would've liked so I'm stuck with an annoying payment and a moderately high rate (lowest available at the time).

Your post made me wonder if I can trade mine in for a newer model with the options I want, take a lease to lower my payments, then save up the rest to buy it out later (I may need to get a loan for the remainder).

Warranty recall battery replacement by dealership at my condo. Previousely when I shut the car off it took almost 10 minutes for the lights to shut off, with new battery and diagnostics for alerts shut off is like 10 seconds.

On the advice of another forum member I purchased a plug-n-play auto start/stop eliminator, should be here early next week. For tunes I have a wireless CarPlay module that plugs into the USB-C port that works phenomenal.

I worked with my lease sales person and they went thru Ford Credit, I have A Plan pricing so that helped some. You can do the buyout with payments or pay in full. I paid it off to eliminate any further payments. I also bought the Ford extended warranty to take out full coverage until 2031. There is no tax on extended warranty and you can go payments of pay in full.

The wheels look outstanding. Get some GP2 paint and hit the brake calipers while you are at it. Red looked good, yellow may be better( on my MINI)

Got the new wheels and tires on this morning, Perilli Weatheractive 2 originally ordered not available until July, went with the Michelin CrossClimate 2. Looks much better than the stock BL rims now.

Original fire extinguisher locations and method of affixing to wheel wells with velcro did not hold up. Extinguisher now mounted to molle seatback system using cinch straps. Second extinguisher in passenger underseat storage.
