I'm an "old schooler", so our go-to source for accessories and add-ons used to be JC Whitney.  I used to enjoy flipping through the pages and just finding neat little things that kind of picked up where the manufacturer left off.  My question is where to look in today's world?  Is there a singular go-to place for things like seat covers, consoles, arm rests, chrome trim...that kind of stuff?

JC Whitney still exists ... online only, I think.

For sourcing replacement parts, you should use the Ford Parts Catalog.  At the very least, you get to look at the exploded diagram, and get a part number with MSRP.  Check the part number online, and you will find all sorts of pricing and availability.

When ordering parts, enter a Vehicle Identification Number for the most accurate search results.

For the aftermarket parts, popular makes and models such as F-150 & Mustang, all have companies that specialize in those cars.  https://www.americanmuscle.com/

 

Ford also has an accessory catalog.  https://accessories.ford.com/vehicles/transit-connect/2017.html

 

For specific items such as roof racks and cargo cages, look for companies that specialize in that type of equipment.  https://www.adriansteel.com/item/cargo-vans/2014-transit-connect/

 

Along with JC Whitney, try Summit Racing & Jegs.  

 

When all else fails, look at Amazon & eBay.
