    Hi everyone,
    Just wondering what there might be for options or thoughts on where it might fit as I know the cab space isn't that big.

    Depends on how you use your truck. I’ve seen center console passenger side or rear.

    I use it on the road all the time so ill look at the center console passenger side.
    I'm down grading from a tundra that had a ton of space but just didn't need that much truck.
     
    GillyLink and Iwilltaco like this.

    75wxst was nice because it was so small, in my 2005 I had it on the passenger side of the tunnel and it was never in the way.
    I didn't bother putting it back into the 3rd gen.

    I looked at those and considered it but. The display for me was too hard to see and I don't think they had the P.A. function I do use.
    I can't part with my old faithful its got a lot of sentimental reasons why I have and still use this one particular unit.

    I'm going to be installing a CB soon and I was figuring on mounting it against the driver side of the center console up close to the bolster of the seat. Still need to get the unit and bracket to see if it will cause too much interference with my leg in that spot. May end up relocating it since I'm partial to the classic cobra units that aren't very small.

    They are not but I have had the classic ones for years and had the best luck and overall they are easy to work with and with the built in swr meter etc. really make them easy to use and keep track of antenna connections as well.
