Radio died

I'd like to replace the factory radio with something fancy. I'm looking for a way to have a small ipad/tablet since this truck is my office. Any suggestions for good kit that I could get that would include the screen and face plate that would fit into the space where the current radio and ***** below are located? I don't know anything about car audio (obviously) and don't know what to even search for.

Once you think you’ve decided on a system, and have anymore questions, you can always go to the Audio & Video section of this forum where you may get more answers https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum60/
