I will say the 18's look much better in person than pics. Ford had them at the apple festival in Hendersonville a week ago. Much nicer in person.

The B&O system is better than the Sony system that was in my 13, but it's not anywhere near Audi quality. It handles mids and highs well, but lacks definition and power in the bass department. It's a step up, but not that high up. Admittedly I don't use great sources.

I also saw someone ask about the foglights. The foglights are now LED, at least they are on my King Ranch and I assume his Platinum also. There is a top LED firing down and the reflector projects forward.

I have looked and can find next to nothing on the sound system specifications. I had a 13 and was very impressed by the system in it. Then I went to a 15 and to be honest it was a big downgrade. The 2018 system is a big upgrade form the 15 but maybe not as good as the 13. Still I am very happy with it and will enjoy listening to it again.

To be honest there are not too many details out on the 2018s at this point. Overall after a few hundred miles I am very pleased with this truck.

Nice truck, love the color. Almost purchased an RR in 2015 but could not find one optioned the way I wanted so I went with Ignot.

Still cannot believe they have not figured out how to do away with that standard antenna, especially now with the shark fin.

I cut 12" or so out of my antenna to get it slightly below the roof line of my truck, best mod to date and I still get great reception - highly recommend on yours

About all I have read is it will have 10 speakers and suppose to be much improved from the Sony.
