'05 F-250 XLT Crew questions....
I just took the plunge and bought the first Ford I have ever owned (traded in the Dodge!). I needed something larger for towing/hauling and Dodge just didn't want to sell me a truck very badly. Besides, the biggest engine available (according to the dealer) other than the diesel was a Hemi. That's what I traded in so I wouldn't be gaining a whole lot.
Remote Locks-The distance that the remote works seems awfully short. I have to be damn near in the truck to lock/unlock/alarm it. Is this typical?
Power points-On my truck, the power points are on all the time so Radar and other accessories have to be unplugged each time. Is this typical/normal?
CD/Radio-not very good. Is there a source (other than Ford) for audio equipment that is outstanding for F-250s? By this I mean fit also. I really don't want the radio to look like it was an after thought. Or, are there face plates available that will more or less let you put any system you want into the dash?
Thanks!

Good luck on your truck, I have the same V10, I'd look into a new performance exhaust and a ram air intake, as it'll increase your horse-power (15-20) and torque (20-40lbs), as well as add 1 to 2 mpg to your vehicle.
Thanks, and luck!

Thanks for the info!
My wife is gonna have a fit anyway when I start looking at decent stereos. I can't imagine the uproar when I start talking about performance enhancers....... er......that didn't sound right did it?
