no sony radio or box under back seat, what is ford trying to do cut cost?

 

no sony radio or box under back seat are they cutting cost?

 

It depends on what option package you get.

 

What box? If you mean the subwoofer its behind the seat now, not under it.

 

what happen to the sony radio(in a LARIATE)

 

I just went on ford.ca and I can build an F150 Lariat with a sony stereo.

 

is the sony a option in the lariate

 

525.OO OPTION LARIATE

 

Lariats are pretty much middle of the bunch trucks now. Used to be the top of the line but really it is todays XLT.

 

I got everything I wanted in the Lariat and it's 6 or 7 grand cheaper than a similarly optioned Platinum that

makes you buy extra options (in my case that I didn't want.

 

Aftermarket stereo equipment kicks factory-installed craps butt anyway (even Sony ) and is cheaper.......I wouldn't buy an "upgraded" system from factory

 

How well do aftermarket units play with factory units as far as the handsfree use and also incorporating telephone steering wheel controls?

 

Bought my '15 Lariat on Tuesday - oxford white, Supercab, 4x4...LOVE IT!

 

I have the Sony system in mine, sub is behind the back seat and have small storage bin under seat

 

Given that I'm not an 18 year old boom box carrier the upgraded Sony, which is included in Equipment Group 502A, is more than satisfactory to me. It sounds much better than the after market system including 6 speakers I installed in my Tahoe last year. There is no way I would start pulling doors and trim off a brand new truck to upgrade a stereo and integrate all the electronics. And if you think you can pay a professional for installation add in the hardware, wiring harnesses etc and be anywhere near the Ford price you are wrong.
