I went a similar route with my last truck, going from the stock 2 DIN radio to the single DIN with the additional pocket below the radio. There was a huge improvement in sound quality, and I really like that it allows multiple Bluetooth phones to be connected at once, along with the mic which allows for hands-free voice calls.

This is a very simple installation. Grab and pull up on the molding surrounding the shifter boots, then there are 4 screws to remove before the front of the dash comes off, and 4 more screws in the radio before it pops right out. I would recommend using a wire stripper and some butt connectors to join the wiring harnesses together. The instructions are easy to follow matching the wire colors up to each other. The remote sub signal and power antenna wires were just tapped off since they were not used.
