Check the Pioneer units. They have everything you would want and they get very good reviews. That's what I will get when I replace mine.

I think that's the size of the screen. Just look for the double din size. They should be all compatible. Like you said, they aren't cheap. You get what you pay for. The more options it has, the more it'll be.

I did some investigation on this several months ago.

There are pretty good discussions on this at:
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/5...-my-150-a.html
http://www.f150online.com/forums/sho...ord+navigation
(hopefully I'm not breaking forum protocol by referring to another forum).

Also, check out

I have a 2004 FX4 with a Kenwood DDX 6019 installed and I love it. It was pretty easy to install. Looks just like the Pioneer unit posted earlier. I would recommend the Kenwood. I plan to purchase the Nav unit in the near future.

jvc has one on crutchfield for 250 bucks. i was just looking there. there was another that was 300 but i forgot brand. when you start getting gps, bluetooth and all the other goodies you'll be looking at spending ~700 bucks and much higher. like 2000 bucks higher.
