It will cost this much.

Or buy a used set up of eBay and take your chances. Or get and aftermarket head unit with a plug and play adapter, which is what I would do.

Yep, that’s why I would go to Crutchfield or a similar source and find an aftermarket unit rather than spend that kind of money on a system with known issues. Sync3 has had more than it’s fair share of reliability issues.

Thanks for the input…… I have to give it some thought ….I checked out the site that JKBrad sent me…….pretty good……. Unfortunately under the build back better program I’m going to have to wait…….. I do have a nice set of binoculars in the truck to see my existing screen now though!………

If you have a perfectly good truck, how could it be more cost effective to trade it in just to get a bigger screen? I have a 2015 with 64k miles on it. Spent $1600 replacing/upgrading suspension parts and brakes. No way would it have been more cost effective to buy a new one just to replace wear items.

This is a good point. Normally I would say that's crazy but the automotive market is so upside down now.
In February my wife and I sold a 2020 Hyundai Palisade and made over $10k on it. Turned around and used that as a down payment on my F150. It won't last long, that's for sure...
