100 in every aspect, except power.

When you take into consideration power/engine, the 5.7 L wins hands down

I’ve owned both now

Initial impressions are, I much preferred the 100 interior layout and HVAC controls and such

But 200 for everything else

My 4 cents (inflation)
 
good day with both 100 and 200

Here's a challenge to meet the poverty spec even moreso...

Replace the coolbox with a standard console.

Challenge accepted?
@ryanCA I'm interested in the variety of options in the US 2008 trucks, as it seems mine has even less options than most.
Mine has clear glass, no coolbox, and no wood steering wheel (leather only). I assume yours has the coolbox?

What about rear seat entertainment? Nav?

Great thread.

If you find that you're starting to look for a Apple/Android Carplay option, and there are many options, I just installed the Hamilton system. You retain the factor screen and just add a box and wiring. Simple, fast and clean! Ive been looking, waiting actually, for years and felt Hamilton meet my needs.

Press and holding the "yelling girl" on the steering wheel toggles between factor system and the Hamilton. G Maps, Spotify and all other Apple apps work without issue.

Thank you.

Very useful information. Do you have a thread on the system you speak of?

I listen to AM radio if anything at all. But having apple maps/messages, etc, would be very helpful to the daily live when the vehicle is used.
