Upgrade Your Ford Territory with The Right Accessories

Shopping for vehicle accessories can be quite an exhilarating experience and at the end of it, you can either get stuff that you don’t necessarily need or nothing at all. But that doesn’t need to be the case, even if you are new to the aftermarket world and want to make your Ford Territory more stylish and convenient. You can get a small number of accessories that will significantly improve the performance and comfort of your vehicle. But why go for aftermarket accessories in the first place? Well, with Ford Territory aftermarket accessories you don’t need to spend as much to get quality pieces.

Aftermarket Ford Territory accessories give you more options than OEM, since there is usually a myriad of them, no matter what you’re shopping for. Not only do you pay less, but you also get more options without having to visit a dealership. Sometimes, you can even install the part or accessory yourself. Just as you would look for exhaust accessories to improve performance, the same is done when looking to up the style and convenience accessories of your Ford Territory. Here are some of the most popular aftermarket accessories.

Throttle Controller

What Is It?

When it comes to performance gains and a more convenient ride, a throttle controller is always the first and easiest accessory to install. Throttle controllers are Ford Territory parts accessories that can reduce the throttle lag by opening the throttle body assembly faster than the fly-by-wire system found in stock vehicles. All you need to do is hook it up to the throttle control harness behind the accelerator pedal.

Benefits

A throttle controller helps make your Ford Territory more fuel-efficient and it makes it run better on different types of terrain. This can both make your vehicle perform better and use less fuel which will cost you less per gallon and generate fewer emissions.

Is a Throttle Controller Worth It?

For some, a throttle controller may seem like an accessory that’s too good to be true, but purchasing one is definitely worth the investment. This is only the case if you get a controller from a renowned manufacturer or distributor.

Bonnet Protector

What Is It?

Bonnet protectors or bonnet guards, as people call them, are pieces of plastic, usually acrylic, that go on the end of the bonnet. A bonnet guard is installed to keep the bonnet and windshield safe from road debris and bug splatters and give your Ford Territory a more aesthetically pleasing look at the front.

Benefits

You want to install a bonnet protector to keep you from spending money on products that help remove scratches from the windshield. Having a bonnet protector also helps improve the aerodynamics of your Ford Territory meaning it can help reduce fuel consumption. Together with a throttle controller, you’ll save a decent amount of money on a yearly basis.

Is a Bonnet Protector Worth It?

Again, the same goes for bonnet protectors. If you get a bonnet protector from a renowned distributor or manufacturer it is definitely worth the money. If you get a knockoff product then the chances of it being worth the money are slim.

Rain Guards

What Are They?

Also known as weathershields, these accessories are similar to bonnet protectors and they come in the form of long plastic pieces made from acrylic plastic. They are installed either in the channel of the window or at the top of the door frame.

Benefits

The cool thing about rain guards is that they can let cool air inside the car on a rainy day while preventing the rain from soaking the interior of your Ford Territory. No rain will enter inside your vehicle and you will enjoy the breeze whilst driving on the motorway listening to your favourite tunes.

Bonnet Scoop

What Is It?

Like a bonnet protector, a bonnet scoop is also installed on top of the bonnet. A hood scoop helps the engine of your Ford Territory get more pressurised cool air faster than usual. A hood scoop is similar to a cold air intake just with a much larger intake capacity.

Benefits

Being able to draw in cool air through its big opening or openings will help your engine cool quicker. This makes the engine work more efficiently, which means less fuel is used to run your Ford Territory. There are various types of bonnet scoop Ford Territory parts accessories you can install on your particular Ford.

What Type of Bonnet Scoop Does My Ford Territory Need?

Shaker Scoops

A shaker scoop is one that is mounted directly to the engine. This makes shaker scoops protrude a little bit. Shaker scoops get their name from the vibrations that come from the engine, since they’re connected directly to it. They provide the best airflow and cool the engine in the best way possible.

Ram Air Scoops

A ram air scoop intake has two openings which provide additional benefits alongside cool air. Ram air scoops help alter the pressure sent to the engine, acting much like a supercharger. This is your best option if your Ford Territory has a fuel injection system.

Intercooler

An intercooler scoop comes as part of a supercharger system and provides cool air to the intercooler rather than the engine. The difference here is the air isn’t directly provided to the engine and it takes some time before it gets to it. This is why intercooler scoops provide fewer performance gains.

Cowl Induction

Cowl induction scoops are quite unique since they pick up cool air facing the windshield. They are effective and unlike a shaker or ram air scoop, a cowl induction scoop isn’t as susceptible to rock damage.
