Really hard, put both feet on dash, one on either side of radio. Insert claw end of Estwing 26oz framing hammer into tape or cd slot. Make sure you wear a jock, don't want to smack the family jewels, Pull damn hard and the dash should come with it. I have not seen one of these yet, I'll see if I can look at one tomorrow for you.

lol....that would work, but I'd use the Ford radio removal tools.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

The new F150 doesn't use the ford removal tools from what I remember. Obviously the main panel surrounding the radio has to be removed. Start at the bottom of the panel and work your way up. If there are any screws holding that panel on, they are near the bottom of the panel. Worst thing is I just put an aftermarket radio in one of these last week and I'm really drawing a blank on the exact details. Let me know if you need to know any of the factory wiring colors. Metra has both a kit and plug out for this truck as well..
