I here it sucks, Go XM. I have a Delphi Skyfi and love it. It's like cable for your truck.

I've got sirius in my Supra and I LOVE it.  It kicks ass on long trips or in remote areas. The only mistake I made is that mine is built into my car somewhat permanently.  If I had it to do again, I'd get one of those portable add on units that let you put the receiver in any vehicle.  For the $9 a month, I really like it.

Have Sirius at home with Dish Network and we love it ,we spend more time listening to the stereo than watching the toob. Going to get units installed in our dd's soon, oh and cant wait till Stern gets on satellite.

Serius and XM are practacly the same XM has advertised more but I heard that depending on what type of person you are one fits you better than the other...for exsample I belive XM will broadcast baseball hockey and other sports while Siriuse will broadcast Football and such....so really it narrows down to what you like to listen to...

I was under the impression that Serius has a lessor sound quality. XM is supposed to have a deeper richer sound.

We have it in our Honda.  I haven't noticed any poor or inconsistent sound quality.  It will however cut out briefly going under large under-passes.  It costs a couple bucks more than XM but no commercials

Im guessing satelite might be a bit more powerful...but just look at what happens at ppl who have Direct TV when it rains....so :dunno:
