I have had the exact system you’re considering for several years now - PAC with the Pioneer DMH-W4660NEX - and it’s been great. The only problem is that it started a spiral of other purchases - rear...

The new (upcoming) Ram hybrid looks great to me. I wish they would get rid of the silly Ram name and go back to Dodge.

Goofy dash, still no sunroof option. Nope, I'd get a new 2022 SS over the Mustang, but the exterior does look better, but that's not hard to do.
