Default thinking about a tbss.

if i were to get one what options should i keep a look out for and which one should i just not get because there useless. when i got my truck there were things i wish i would have got but didn't know about when i bought it. i notice for the tbss there are not many options to choose from besides like the sun sound package and stuff like that.

here comes my 2cents......

-if you are tall, make sure you test drive one with a sunroof first, my head was hitting so no sunroof for me
-Nav sucks, have to have Nav CD in so you can't use CD player if using Nav
-Definitely think Leather is worth it unless it is going to be a "work" truck or a pure race/strip vehicle
-rainsense wipers, some love'em...some hate'em....only $70 and you can always turn them off
-Rear seat DVD....it's OK but unless you plan on having rear seat passengers all the time for raod trips, kind of pricey for something you'll barely use, I got it, but don't really use it
-Bose 6 CD with XM is a decent radio, no MP3 support or Ipod input sucks though


....hope this helps you out a bit in your decision

how's 6'3" is that too tall? yeah i was thinking that would suck to not be able to use cd player while useing nav because on road trips i useually use the cd player because i get tired of having to change stations. i think i can get a dual head rest dvd set up for less than the factory.
i heard no rain sense wipers for 07' model is this true?
