I have a 2006 F-150 extended cab that I'm fixing up for a month long hunting trip this fall. The previous owner installed a crappy cheap Pioneer stero that you can't touch the volume knob without it going into menu mode. Probably stock speakers, which the driver's side just stopped working. I haven't purchased or installed a car stereo in 30 years. I need something simple and reliable with bluetooth so I can listen to podcasts and my Amazon playlists that gets good local AM/FM reception when traveling. Rugged speakers that can take gravel road and off road abuse. I do crank it up rather loud occasionally to 70-80s rock.

Cost isn't a big issue. Nothing fancy/complicated or cheap/junk.

I welcome you recommendations.

Crutchfeld.com, it is the PSA /install made super easy HQ. Toook me longer to decide
Which of the thousands of stereos i wanted for my 04 f250  than do the install.

This, some great offerings and install kits.  I would take a peak and see if they cut/hacked the wires or used a kit/harness.
