Slightly o t ........ I had a Z06 C6. Ugh is all I can say. GM had to rebuild the engine twice under warranty.
I traded for C-5 Z06 for the C-6. Too lazy to shift in traffic.

My man, Spotify Premium is $10 a month. Make a playlist with a hundred songs, download them, plug your phone into the truck and BAM, you can control it as if it was the best CD is history

Do people still actually listen to a radio while driving? Asking for a friend.
I unfortunately did while I was driving 1 hour to university with my Mom's 2001 Frontier that didnt have an AUX port

I understand your disappointment. Whether you knew about the lack of options before sale or after it is still disappointing.

I think why most can't relate is their place of existence is small. Meaning they don't know that there are lots of places in the US without cell phone cover.. I mean miles/hours without any music. Without the CD or Satellite some have came accustomed to this will be a boring ride. At least you would be able to find all those squeaks and rattles..

This brings us into to the next step of music evolution. Digital tracks. You can have a digital library built for you by a family member.

Or another option would be us a service like Amazon music. You can download songs you like then play them offline. This requires a subscription though..

But this all doesn't address the main issue, not being attached to your phone. A solution to this is get a cheap tablet and keep that in the car. I use a Dragon K10 for this, it has my music and offline gps. I can leave the phone at home and not worry about music or GPS.

Good luck on the transformation.
Simple, respectful, and helpful. Amazing, Just amazing.

We took possession of a Maverick XLT this past Friday; my wife and I were looking forward to road trips in it. No Sirius XM, no CD player and I cannot find any navigation. Like a lot of people of my generation I do not like being tied to my cell phone, I leave mine at home at every opportunity. Somewhat disappointing!
It's not like you can't add an after market SiriusXM module. Shoot in a few weeks I would expect there will be a module for the XL and XLT specifically from manufacturers. You can add a CD/DVD player as well. Here are a couple of links.

And this is a less expensive alternative...not sure if Ford Connect is compatible. It's just a matter of time. https://shop.siriusxm.com/siriusxm-sxv300-connect-vehicle-tuner.html

Only between 6am-6pm below 45mph with extended restrictions on weekends. Proof of continence is required in Alabama.
I didn't realize that someone over 60 was still allowed to drive 🙄
The Officer asked "Do you know how fast you were going?" I said, are you kidding? I'm just trying to remember where I'm going.
