Maestro keeps the most factory options. Metra harness worked fine for me. Was able to run steering wheel controls and backup camera. The truck remembers the settings for door locks and lights even after you remove the factory head unit.

not if you dont have the large screen from the factory. the maestro help you be able to use the factory functions through the aftermarket radio. then only certain radios will utilize the maestro to its full capabilities.
any of the other harnesses will work for you since you have a basic model.

Check out the Metra Turbo Touch, similar idea but has its own screen so you can use any double din you want then.

i wouldnt waste my time on it, if your truck came with the 3.0 then the options are in your gauges that the maestro would let you have through your aftermarket radio, my truck came with a 3.0 and i changed to the 5.0 and now i have the options in both my radio and my gauges

buy this adapter and not the metra one, to me the metra one is nasty looking once installed, but yeah the harness should be fine

this is what the metra dash adapter looks like installed, makes the radio almost look like its floating...
looks way out of place, the one i linked you to on ebay doesnt have that curve in that the metra has, i bought the metra kit and threw it away when it came in lol
