I have discover at3's right now and they are pretty good. Had atm's on my wife's old ride and they are the best tire I have ever had.
Yeah, sorry the thread got derailed...I just saw his question, and since I had some input that might help, figured why not post it.

Yeah, they are (at least in the pics and videos that have been posted). I have the ATm on my Tacoma right now and it's been a night and day difference from my old Goodyears to these. There are lots of good tires (AT3 is another one), but for a stock truck, there's no comparison between the ATm and the Wrangler for me. When you consider the FX4 package is about $750-1000 depending on X-plan or retail, that right there is a set of tires for a truck.

Most PTM front ends (bumper, fascia, & grills) look depressing after a couple of years and chrome is favored by most owners based on my observations of what's passing me on the road wherever I travel.
you saw way more chrome because thats where all the rebates and incentives are. Everyone has an XLT with the chrome package because those are the trucks you can get a lot off the MSRP from rebates and incentives alone. They always have deals on those things. Thats why most people have the chrome. Most people dont wanna pay 50k for an fx4, and want a little more than the STX's.

Where have you guys been buying the katzkins from?

Katzkin does not sell direct - the prices on the site are MSRP. You can buy them much cheaper from the companies that actually sell them

I can only saw what I have found for my 2007 - you can find extended cab packages on ebay and local shops for far less -


look at Katzkins web page - it will show you local shops that sell the products


the prices they list on their site is what a Ford Dealer would quote you for the covers -


Also are you looking at full leather or the factory matches - there is a huge price difference in those. The factory matches have vinyl backs and the rear seating in anywhere from 40- 70% leather -


Of course I can only assume pricing for the 15s will be higher for a time until supply can catch up -

I'm not looking for infinite options. They already make two different interior panels for the doors, console trim, etc. Why shouldn't they allow the buyer to choose between them? It wouldn't add to production costs. There is already a huge amount of options on these trucks, which is nice and also impressive. So why not?!?!

I think the chrome makes the f150 look cheap and cheezy in my opinion the painted bumpers are the way to go. I know the painted bumpers can take a beating but put 3m on them and problem solved. I did that to mine and the still look great after a year.

I don't see how it would add confusion. You can choose the color of the leather or cloth so what's the difference?
