    BSM is not really worth it if you plan on going with an aftermarket rear bumper....unless so want cut outs in your bumper....

    I do this in our outback, I turn it on on the way so it's hot before I put the pizza on it.

    On the California highway... you shall need every tech you can get in order to not look over your shoulder . I didn't any of the extra luxury stuff. Sometimes I wish I had for the hell of it, but I'm glad I didn't.

    I believe the seats are pressure sensitive, so the heated seats won't get warm without someone sitting on it.

    No, that's the JBL audio which is over and above Tech. Arguably slightly better audio quality, in exchange for absolutely less space behind the seat. I have it, wish I didn't.

    Does it come on the SR and SR5 double cabs standard?

    Or just let it expire and wait. They'll send you offers in the mail. Right now it's around $30 for 6 months. You do have to call to cancel at the end, and go through with the cancel if they won't give a new deal. I signed up using a virtual credit card number from one of my CC companies, with a spending limit and expiration date that precludes Sirius from re-upping my subscription.

    Yes, I also use Pandora and others, but like SiriusXM enough to pay a small amount for it.

    what is this virtual credit card you speak of. That sounds like a great idea for those resubscribing things.

    Depends on how tall. I'm 6'1" and have zero issues. I think there have been some people as tall as 6'5" on here that have said they were fine with the roof.

    Absolutely get it, the backup sensors saved my butt a few times especially with kids in our neighborhood flying around the corner. The blind spot sensor hasn't been turned off since I purchased the truck. I really like how its sensitive enough to see motorcycles on your 4 and 8 o'clock. For the extra $2300 I say get it. It's a nice safety piece thats always consistently accurate.
