i really like the KR, and i plan on getting on as soon as there is enough supply/rebates for me to get 10k off the MSRP. I'd imagine it will take 6-8 months from launch

I love that the bed rail caps aren't that awful looking tan anymore but actually black.

Personally, I really like the King Ranch and saddle brown leather. It's very American and the problem is that my wife is from Europe and would give me such grief over the KR, that I'd be either angry, demoralized, or otherwise agitated. To her, it looks like an old man's recliner and as much as it's my call at the end of the day; I'm equally inclined to go with the Platinum or FX4 ... all three are nice.

Wow, you think Ford will be offering 10K off the new truck 6-8 months into production? I don't know if it will be that soon.

There was a time in my life when I must have been like your European wife. All I drove was Volvo's/VW's or Japanese cars.

Those days are over and to me there is nothing nicer than a truck made by Ford. I get dirty looks from the tree huggers/Prius drivers and I have some friends that call me a "redneck" for driving a pickup truck and I don't give a crap what they think.

This is probably the most comfortable vehicle I have ever driven. It's also the most quietest and fun to drive vehicle I've had. I love to see the grin on my 15 year old son's face when we smoke the rear wheels from a traffic light. I feel good about driving something made in America and made with parts manufactured by some companies here in Canada as well.

I don't tow anything, I don't carry anything in the 6.5 foot bed. The only thing this truck has ever carried was my briefcase. Why do I drive a truck? Because I feel like it.

The funny thing is, those friends of mine who call me a redneck are the same ones who quickly say - "oh, it's great you have a truck so I can call you if I need to move something"........lol

Well, good luck with that.....

I agree, the increased and improved competition has pushed the big 3 truck makers to do more and more. There is much parody in the market these days. You almost cant go wrong with any of them if you are willing to break brand loyalty ranks...Oh, and if your principles of what happened to the American tax payers with GM and Fiat matter anything to you...

But the good news is that the leap forward in trucks, by RAM most notably, has forced Ford to go big. Good stuff for us truck fans.

Its amusing to me though, that the Japs are probably stunned by the quantum leap forward of the big 3's truck line....Japs are being left in the dust. They just don't have enough market share too keep up the with the rapid development. Good,, I hope they choke on their trucks.

I did some research and I dont think it'll be too difficult, i'm a costco member i logged into their site and they showed me how much i would pay for a "2014" model, they bascially take 5k off MSRP, then there is a 1k costco member rebate, 1k ford finance rebate, thats 7k already. Just have to wiggle a little more maybe hope for a little customer cash and if i'm lucky a trade in rebate. i'll be right in the 8-9k range

Here are a few snapshots we got of it at the Detroit show. Pretty much what you'd expect. No interior shots unfortunately.
