I have a Lariat and it is almost exactly like my FX4 I traded in. The NAV is awesome and better than dodge by a long shot. I drove from Las Vegas to San Antonio and it worked great. The travel link feature is also excellent.

[/quote]But seriously yal need to lighten up. Everyone one who is saying im happy with my truck and i didnt need an fx edition is stupid. The point of the thread was a joke. Yal are taking it seriously! Now thats the real joke! Its great you enjoy your trucks. I could care less what truck anyone on here has. They got what they wanted for a reason. You should be happy with it. I admit the thread probably wasnt the greatest idea since most of yal are uptight whiners and cant tell a dog from a cat.[/quote]

I will miss the 110 volt inverter, The painted bumpers are nice but the Chrome is good also. Which leads me to a question. Ths SIRIUS radio is nice but only 6 month trial so will the single radio in the XLT subscribe to the SIRIUS network if I choose later or is it an entire different radio? Ohter than that the two for 2011 can be configured very similar. Or is there some nice amnenities not listed in the documentation? I just found out about the fx emblems so I guess that is one already not listed or explained in literature.

In answer to your radio question, if Im understanding you correctly, and judging from the SIRIUS/XM radios Ive had in the past, the radio will work as a normal radio. You can switch back and forth while you are subscribed or just go radio when not.

The satillite radio rocks though, so many options and never get out of range, though it does drop for a sec or two sometimes, but rarely. I think after 6 months you probably will want to keep it.

I would advise you to look at the website, they offer life time contracts for around $600 plus or minus depending on package you want, and my understanding is you can take it with you by changing the radio number in your account page, if you change vehicles or radio's.

They never offered me this when they start harrasing you after 6 months to buy their service they only offered the monthly to me when they called/emailed otherwised badgered me. The life time service is on the website though and they do talk about it if you ask.

At $24 a month normal subscription, the life time pays for it self in about 2 years.

I answered a joking thread with an equally light-hearted response.

Who, exactly, is taking this too seriously?

Thanks for the lecture, though. So many of us go through life not knowing right from wrong, and we're lucky to have you as our moral compass. On behalf of the entire community, Thank you. You have enriched us.

Wow some people need to lighten up. The fx4 was my second pick. I couldn't deal with the black interior so I went with the platinum ha. I do wish they would paint the fender flares on the fx4 tho. They are all nice trucks tho.
