Default New from central Florida

Hi all, I just got my 2016 f150 2.7l eco, crew cab, with the 4in display radio, all stock from dealer except previous owner seems to have done the seats with katzkin and center console is badly cracking. So my previous ride was a 2006 mazda3 hatch gt, I did quite a bit of tasteful mods nothing ricey as Im not that type. First thing im looking at modifying is the small screen radio with the larger one. Already did my research and found this site called 4dtech who happens to sell the whole kit to exchange the small screen radio for the larger one, only thing is i cant do the 1899 they are asking so im sure there is a way to do it for much cheaper, my local lkq auto salvage parts place has the radio with bigger screen for 150, i just want to know what you guys recommend me or should i go with an aftermarket unit like alpine? my second mod will be an intake, not looking so much for the gains but more for the mpg, i had a k&n cai in my mazda and was getting better mpg. And lastly i will also be doing wheels and tires but more towards december. Hope to learn new things with the f150 and expand my knowledge in the truck world.

Thanks everyone, im in the ocala area so if there is a club or meet up for events/hang out id be interested. Question for you guys, i have the 2.7 twin turbo ecoboost, im reading the manuals, it says the trucks without the ecoboost will have a yellow cap where you put gas, and it should will say e85, now isnt that just for the engines without ecoboost? basically what i want to know is what gas am i supposed to use with this ecoboost, im not up to date with all these new tech as my previous ride used unleaded regular, there is a wawa by my house that sells that e85 special gas, thanks you all for any info.
