That's interesting, could you point me to the ones you found on eBay?

Also not a deal breaker for me but it would be nice to have the rubber feeling

The drone is worse than the loud. Had that junk on my old 5.0

I'm in Canada (Ontario) if it makes a difference...
For the price the STX has the best value, I really didn’t want to spend $5-10k more for minimal upgrades. Yes I have put some mods, but they’re mostly cosmetic, I went with the 5.0 V8 and love it! Good luck with whatever you decide to get.

Really love my STX ( Strip The eXtras! ) it was the best value for the money with everything I needed to have. Sometimes I do wish I had gone the extra mile and went with an XLT or Lariat. Like others I've done some mods, I upgraded my steering wheel to the platinum one. Also added remote start. It's a good base to start playing around with. My only con is the ride quality on the 20" rims, they look awesome but the 17's are much smoother.

PS. One of the really great things about the STX is I think it has the best grille of any of the models.

Re the door panel arm rests. I’m 5’9”. I’ve never used them. They are too low for me using the 10/2 steering wheel position. I rest my arms on the window door edge.

I do love the style of the STX. Especially the grille. It doesn’t look like you had a crash into the Armco and it stuck to the front of the car. 😁

Love my STX. My truck is mostly a work truck and the STX had all the accouterments I wanted. I also was going to do some mods, so why pay extra for stuff that was going to get replaced. I would have done purchased the same truck all over again.
