    Your best bet is start looking on Crunchfield. Plug in your info and start searching what fits your needs.
    I’ve been looking leisurely for the past two weeks, haven’t pulled the trigger yet though.
    Lots of options on that website for our trucks.

    +1 to all of this. The Audio & Video forum is the place to start. In conjunction with that, Crutchfield offers tools to get an idea of what's available/suitable for you application.

    Armed with that info, visit some local shop(s) to listen to various options, and decide what sounds good to you.
