Dude, shop around for a better price. Basically any single or double DIN head unit fits our truck. You just need the car-specific wiring harness and install kit to make it fit. If you buy from them, you'll end up leaving with a subbox for the bed b/c they said you'd need it.

Even Crutchfield is cheaper, at $299;

Amazon even less;
Amazon Amazon

You will get reviews and support from Crutchfield. You have to be careful though because they are not the cheapest around. If you are unsure, cheapest is not always best.

Don't buy from worst buy unless you just can't wait.

I am getting an hd receiver w/cd and ipod connection (kenwood $169 a Crutchfield)
They will include the dash kit, antenna and written instructions.
Crutchfield is good for speaker compatibility too. Although you don't have to buy anything from them. Use their site for reviews and compatibility.
The only reason I can see for a double din is for the gps, otherwise why would I want to watch a movie?
To each their own.
There is a sticky on aftermarket audio mods. Here it is;

I had subs in a previous vehicle I purchased from Crutchfield. One quit working. I called them and almost without any explanation they sent me a return shipping label and sent out a new sub the same day...all free of charge.

I like my Double DIN. I like the touch screen with the iPod display and watching movies are great for me b/c I have to take an hour long ferry whenever I leave the island I live on. GPS is great too.

I would buy from crutchfield. They offer a free wiring harness and a dash kit. Sometimes you can catch them when they offer free shipping.

Agreed. All my electronics have been ordered through them, and any future purchases will be through them simply because of their costumer service
