I just can't get into suede.. Just never liked it. Maybe if it was red instead of black... Maybe. I was really hoping instead of alcantra they would offer full colored leather inserts (like the orange in the raptor) or just change up the color from red. At least the app package is still around, and maybe makes its way over to the 14 models. It would be cool if it kept evolving too!
Still a great looking truck, but I am partial!

I just noticed the grille is also gloss black again for 2013, very cool! I thought they had dropped it since it wasn't listed in the literature I have seen. Also noticed it has the bridgestones and no hood graphic insert (may be optional?)

Yeah the F-250 mirrors (dumbo ears) on it look bad...and I'm not a fan of the suede inserts...only benefit is in winter if you don't preheat your seats first...leather gets quite cold and stiff. I had suede inserts on my Pontiac Grand Prix GXP and thought they were okay, but would have preferred a two-toned leather.
Also, I noticed the new center nav console is missing that shelf above the nav screen. I think that shelf comes in handy...nice iphone bed...or area for change... They could've kept it...
Side note: The limited model's red leather with badged seats...won't you feel that emblem bulge on your back? If you get in a car wreck, maybe you'll get a nice Limited Edition bruise in the center of your back. Also on the center console arm rest...a large badge is there too...looks like you'll get a nice imprint on the underside of your arm too if you rest it there for a long time...and I've always wanted to know my truck's VIN number by having it etched on my center console badge. Just in case I forgot what it was

Not getting a new truck this year (replacing the Roush with a new one) but that sure would not on my list. I hope to wait for the 2015's. I hope Ford will continue to put the 6.2l in them. My plan then would be to have Roush install the supercharger (like they are in the Raptor) and have nice performance and some extra pulling power for a car trailer. I just don't want to go back to a F250 diesel again.

Did anyone else notice the Bridgestone Dueler H/L tires instead of the Pirelli Scorpion ATR? My 2013 is scheduled to be built 10/8 - I wonder which it will be built with.

My guess would be 2013 will be the same hodge-podge mix like 2012
