It is going to take some time to get used to the new body style.

The 2015 KR is beautiful. Much nicer than the FIAT-chrysler alternative.

I want to see a PBR Edition next! Hmmmm......LOL

Nice truck...however...

The King Ranch in my mind makes the statement that its a ruff and tuff truck with the rancher type guy in mind...right? Hence the rope on the passenger seat which the rancher is going to use to go and lasso a steer...off road...on the ranch...in the pasture...where there are no roads.

Then why does this truck have what look to be highway tires with sport street wheels which surely look like they're going to be a b**ch to clean? Hopefully it doesn't rain when this rancher is out on the ranch with those tires.

King Ranch trims have always been terribly ugly. However, for the first time ever....I would actually like to own a King Ranch. FINALLY! this trim level just works in this body style along with this particular styling of the KR trim.
This looks tough and sporty at the same time.

What Ford doesn't realize is that ranchers buy basic XL reg cab longbeds and drive those bastards into the ground over the course of about 15 years.

If you guys think that ford is unaware that real work trucks are the XL and XLT models, and all other trim ranges are poser models, you're drastically under informed on how successful multinational companies function.

I'm definitely warming up to the 15's, and the King Ranch is my favorite so far

Thank you Bill Gates...

I was going to buy a Platinum but instead chose to buy a fully equipped FX4 for my off roading fishing / hunting adventures. My FX4 is a poser? Hmmm...thats why all the damn moose and bears are always lookin at me! They must know I'm only posing as a hunter / fisherman! I'm going to go buy an XL...with hubcaps! Look out Moose!

I love the 2015s and can't until they hit the streets. The big three automakers are making the most amazing trucks they ever have, and I think these are exciting times. Just when I think engineering has peaked, they come up with innovative features that further my amazement. And again, I believe Ford leads the pack.

On the high plains you are hard pressed to find a producer who is in a ford with a trim level under lariat... The catch is most of them now only manage. I'd agree, for the working rancher/producer, most are in a low level trim or haven't considered a new vehicle since the flat bed was put on the current truck back in 78...

I ran as a farm hand for a while, best I ever had out there was a 93 GMC reg cab long bed 2wd with 275k and beat into the ground.. But she ran, 100-200 miles some days.


I love the look of the 2015 KR, and I am NOT a fan of two-tone paint. That's a great looking truck though!!
