I am thinking about doing the same for mine. Do you still like this setup? I hate to drill a hole in a panel for a button.

Yes, I had it wired to my auxiliary switch on my 2017. After a while you naturally reach for the auxiliary switch as you see situations arising.
I was never a horn blower. I now have found it a useful tool.
You'll be surprised how fast you can dump a three gallon tank of compressed air! The new tank is 5 gallons.

Train horn installed today. I had a credit at a local custom shop so they installed it for me. They wired it up so my regular horn blows them but only if upfitter switch 6 is on. With it off it's a normal horn. Pretty bada$$ I must say 👍🏻

That's the route I went as well. My 3 year old loves it. 😅

Thats what it's all about right there. My kids were at the end of the driveway waiting for me to get home today so they could hear it.

Some folks mentioned replacing horns with those fancy multi-tone ones, like the BossHorn. I've heard those before – they seem less jarring than the classic train whistle.
On the other hand, maybe there's a way to improve safety without sacrificing tradition? Anyone have ideas for alternative warning signals that are effective but a little less, well, earsplitting?

Mine is. I have a QD at the license plate and I can easily get to all 4 truck tires or all 4 camper tires with a 25’ air hose. There are also a couple extra unused ports on the tank so if I wanted to add bags or anything else I still have those options easily available to me.
