Nice 
I would have thought they would have mounted the antenna in the back also. Probably get used to it. My brother has had Sirius for a year now and loves it. If you do a lot of drivin in the truck I would get it.
Yeah, we're getting ready for that same storm here in Jersey. Expecting anywhere from 6"-12" Damn that grounhog!

Nice looking truck!
Yeah, it still dont understand why auto manufacturers continue to mount sat radio antennas in the most unappealing locations? My 2006 has the same antenna and I dont get the thinking for its location. It cant be relocated because there is a hole in the sheetmetal.
I purchased a 2006 Mercedes E350 late last year and requested sat radio be installed by the dealership. The next day I show up at the dealership to see this giant actual hockey puck sized antenna mounted on the center of the trunk lid. I asked the dealer, "What the hell is that?" and he told me, "That is where the factory mounts their satelite radio antenna". I replied, "Wait, you mean to tell me you actually drilled a hole in the top of my trunk lid!". Apparently, I was not the first person in shock after seeing this. Some buyers have refused delivery when they saw the same abomination on their trunk lid as it rolled off the car carrier.
Fortunately, that car was short lived. Having been being plaqued with problems, it was bought back by Mercedes after only 2 weeks of ownership.

Truck looks great . I installed my satellite raido myself and put the antenna back infront of the 3rd brake light, gets great reception and can't be seen unless you are up pretty high. Not sure what music you listen to, but I love my sirius radio.
