The MACH radio is nice - I like the RDS feature it has, and it has a bit more power. However, the upgrade is not just plug and play, since you'll need to run power and audio back to the sub. It's not too difficult, but definitely a couple hour job.

Some here say it's just as easy to get a good aftermarket system (with more power, features, etc.), however I have yet to find an aftermarket stereo that would look good in my truck, and I hate the silly adapter you need in order to use a normal DIN radio.

I did the MACH upgrade and I like it. I opted to do an aftermarket subwoofer/amp (MTX thunderform + Infinity amp). The system works great, and matches the rest of my stock interior.
