Default 2013 platinum audio question

I am reading the owners manual that I downloaded to learn what I can before the truck comes and I have a quick question.

If you have a 2013 platinum with the Sony and nav option, can you tell me if you have these audio choices?

THX Deep Note Demo, DSP, or
Occupancy Mode

Many thanks

None, the F-150 doesn't offer a THX certified audio system! Sony is the best it gets! You'll have to go the ways of aftermarket, for dsp and such, but no aftermarket audio gear I know of besides lincoln, offers the thx! Hope this helps!

Thank you for the quick reply!
