Can it be done? Cardomain says yes, crutchfield says no...

It can be done, it just requires some trimming of the dash to make it fit. Not difficult at all

well, technically its big enough, but the aftermarket bracket that i have only has enough room for a single din....

may have to fabricate a bracket for it. im currently thinking about doing this to my car too. not sure if it'll be worth the work for me but yours shouldnt be too difficult

I used this kit along with a dremel to make my double din unit fit

the top part is all a Cd player, then underneath is a smaller compartment for some oher stuff, cd's, wallet, etc.

I think i could take a dremel to it and make it big enough, i jsut don't want there to be "slop"

you just have to dremel the opening out, it took 10 mins then get the double din kit to mount it in. id show pics of mine but im at work and cant link em from my phone. its considered a 1.8 din in a ranger from what ive read

Good question...thanks for all the responses.

It's very easy to do with a dremel tool.

heres mine installed

it would work better than a flip out, my flip out covers the air vents and gets in the way, i have an explorer but there the same dash

Same for F150s and Expeditions also. I'd imagine a lot of ford are like this.
