Yeah, I stopped by dealer the other day and asked how many diesel f150s they’ve sold since they came out. The number was 2, ppl are not impressedThat 3.0 diesel is SLOW, I drove one and it felt underpowered compared to my 5.4L....there’s no giddyup whatsoever but good on fuel. Surprised being a turbo diesel it is so lethargic.
In the ford world, platinum (and limited in the F-150) slots above king ranch...but just barely. Think of platinum as the nicest city version and king ranch as the nicest country version. Platinum is going to have bigger wheels and be more “slick” looking. King ranch is going to have more sidewall and look more rugged.
But any way you slice it, you can’t beat the KR leather. I just don’t like the two tone paint and all the interior KR badging. Personal preference only.
Must have been someone who wanted one so they ordered badging and maybe leather inserts. It’s a bit of a shame the King Ranch line at Ford is being chipped away at....same happened to the Eddie Bauer trim. It’s cheaper to not pay the licensing fees I guess.
The KR is fun and has more personality than the limited and platinum imo. I’ve always liked it for the western theme. I enjoy the two tone exterior on the Eddie Bauer’s and King Ranch’s vs the all too common monochromatic theme.
You did see that option. It was announced a couple weeks back.I know this is an old thread, I'm new here so going through all the old threads to learn about my '19 Limited that is on its way, but I'm positive when I was sitting with the manager at the dealership and we were figuring if I should get the 2019 or order a 2020, we were looking through all the order options and I'm sure I saw a King Ranch option. This may be old news, as I said, just reading through all the older posts.
