Decent Dash KIt - Poor Instructions
Edward A from BROWNSTOWN, MI on 9/18/2019
2010 Ford F-150 XLT
Nice dash kit. Very well made and I like the look feel of the flat finish. The instructions could have been a lot better. I had to guess on more than one occasion as to what they actually meant. There was even one reference to a picture that should have been "D" not "C" which I thought was pretty bad. I had to call tech support, which were great btw, to find out I needed to remove a plate to get the radio to insert. There was no mention of it in the instructions. Overall though a decent Dash Kit.

Nice option at great price point.
Crutchfield customer from Rio Rancho, NM on 5/9/2019
2011 Ford F-150 XLT
Fits nice and looks nice. As a beginner it was confusing what's what and why. My stereo is loose in Mount because I followed directions that obviously did not fit my stereo set up. I'll reinstall with option b with parts they provided.
Pros: Looks good and fit
Cons: Couldn't figure out which option my stereo fit for install.

I love the flat black look of this! However, it is as though my receiver doesnt fit in this and sits down inside of it too much.
Pros: Love the flat black look
Cons: Receiver doesnt fit well

Metra 99-5820 Dash Kit
Tim from La Fayette, IL on 12/9/2018
2009 Ford F-150 XLT
2009 F150 XLT with integrated stereo. This is a must have for replacing the integrated stereo in the 2009 F150. Install, fit and finish were all good. The surface is a bit of of pain to clean marks off I think due to it's texture. The only complaint I would really have is that the stereo sits back quite a bit, which really takes away from the look. It would look much better if the stereo came out more flush with the front of the kit. Overall looks decent and did the job it is intended to do.
Pros: Easy installation Almost a perfect fit Pretty much matches factory look
Cons: Stereo sits too far back and looks recessed

Metra 99-5820 Dash Kit
Crutchfield customer from Kenner, LA on 6/23/2018
2013 Ford F-150 XLT
The kit itself was great, I did however modify it slightly to better support the head unit. I did this by drilling out the side brackets and used screws to attach the head unit at a more forward spot. This stiffened up the assembly greatly.

Metra 99-5820 Dash Kit
Scott from Durham, NC on 1/9/2018
2012 Ford F-150 XLT
While this kit looks nice and matches the interior F150 dash (though not as aesthetically aligned as the stock dash panel), the fit and finish leaves a lot to be desired. The installation instructions were clear enough to attach the single-din head unit in place. However, the right side clips that the single-din bracket slots into (prior to inserting the head unit) has a couple millimeters of wiggle room. What this causes is the ability to move the right side of the head unit (fully installed in the dash) in and out slightly. This appears to be a very simple design flaw that passed through QC, and as a result, leaves a less than desired finished product. As others have mentioned as well, this kit is pretty recessed into the dash. I didn't think this would be that big of an issue, but after a long trip recently, the extra distance I have to reach from the drivers position to adjust the volume knob does get annoying. I know we're talking an inch or so here, but it's "just" enough to have me reach beyond my seated position in the truck. Nothing I can't live with, but something to consider. Even discounting this nit to pick, the recessed LOOK is not as aesthetically pleasing as it would be if it were flush with the dash.
Pros: Matches interior well Clear install instructions Fits nicely
Cons: Not as nice as textured stock dash panel Fit and finish could use improvement

Crutchfield customer from Wichita, KS on 10/6/2017
2010 Ford F-150 STX
The dash kit fit in the factory housing slot perfect. It matches the interior colors very well. The intructions sent with the dashkit made the uninstall of the factory unit a breeze and installing my aftermarket head unit very easy. From start to finish less than an hour.

Get The Scosche FD1438B Kit
Richard from Los Angeles, CA on 3/3/2016
2011 Ford F-150 XLT
Crutchfield screwed up stocking this kit. It's like Metra took a mid-90s kit, added the newer F-150 dash contours, and produced a "special" baby. I have both the Metra and Scosche kits. Get the Scosche FD1438B kit.
Pros: None.
Cons: The deck mounts to a plastic piece -- clipped to another plastic piece -- clipped to another plastic piece -- that finally mounts to the truck... badly. Alignment is very poor. Materials don't match the dash in a reasonable way, and the paint is a fingerprint magnet. The Scosche kit has none of these problems -- and the pocket is bigger.

not quite right
Randy R from Fresno, CA on 8/24/2013
2012 Ford F-150 XL
I received my kit quite rapidly. When I went to install it the main body part was not quite the same size as my existing body. However the single din radio receiver worked with my existing main cover plate so it worked out fine. The instructions left a lot (and I mean a lot) to the imagination. This should have been much better. How much could it cost to have better installation instructions. I was able to make this work by blending some of the kit with some of my original equipment. Adequate

Receiver Kit
Thomas from Scotts Hill, TN on 7/30/2013
2010 Ford F-150 XL
Was not the correct kit for my install because part of the info I provided was incorrect because the person helping me on the chat mislead me on the meaning of integrated and not integrated so I wasn't able to use the faceplate but the remaining parts worked out with my factory face plate which I liked the finish on it better anyway.
Pros: None
Cons: none

It's an OK housing
InnrGeek from Arnold, MD on 6/4/2012
2011 Ford F-150 XLT
The console replacement part is excellent. It looks sharp. BUT - the single-DIN housing is so-so. I wasn't expecting it to be so recessed into the dash. It doesn't sit "flush" like the OEM radio did. Personally, I feel like it detracts from the clean look of the new console. But, it's growing on me and I'll live with it.
Pros: easy to install, matte black looks nice. I installed it in about 20 minutes with no prior know how.
Cons: DIN inset doesn't look OEM. Console looks great though

Not perfect but works
Nate J. from Salt Lake City, UT on 5/23/2012
2012 Ford F-150 XL
Not quite OEM fit and finish, but it works. I didn't use the entire dash applique, but opted to just use the mounting plate with the pocket under the radio. The entire applique didn't mach the rest of the dash - It worked fine. There is a little gap between the head unit and the mount which looks a little ugly plus the radio is recessed pretty far into the dash. If it was my personal vehicle and not a work vehicle I might be more disappointed. Having said all that - It would look a lot worse without it so can't complain!

Dash Kit
Jason from Wilmington DE on 5/16/2011
The dash kit does not fit a 2011 F-150 XL Super Cab Truck. The original dash plate is 1" longer than the kit supplied. You have to use the original one and not the one supplied in the kit.

Poor fit, but it does the job
Will from Houston Tx. on 2/12/2011
2009 Ford F-150 STX
The head unit and the pocket underneath the head unit (to fill empty space) are both recessed slightly into the dashboard (about a 1/4"). Also it is a smooth texture, and not the checkered pattern like the original. But it does the job. Just kinda looks UGLY
