Suction cup to windshield, lower left. I use GPS very seldom.

I personally want my truck with navigation built in. I agree with QwkTrip...use the windshield suction mount.

I've got an 09 with the tray in the center of the dash. My GPS sits just to the left of the tray. I bought one of the "sandbag" pads with the rubber on the bottom of it. Works great. I don't use it much, but it has its moments. The sandbag thing makes it a snap to hide the GPS when ya feel you might be in a "rough" part of town.

This is where I always put mine. Lower left corner of windshield suctioned. I wish I had the indash but the truck I first wanted that had it along with other stuff got sold out from under me.

I have two Proclips in my truck, one on the left side of the instrument binnacle for my GPS, and one on the right side for my phone. The suction cups work OK, but after a while they all seem to lose their grip and start falling off. Nice thing about the Proclips is that they are very secure and strong, but can be removed with essentially no trace, as well. They aren't cheap, but I think they are worth it.
