On the Ford site and in the brochure it says this:

King Ranchฎ Chrome Appearance Package Includes:

• 20-inch Chrome-Like PVD Wheels
• Accent wheellip moldings
• Bright belt moldings
• Chrome door handles with body-color strap
• Chrome front and rear bumpers with chrome end caps on front
• Chrome front tow hooks (4X4 only)
• Chrome skull caps on exterior mirrors
• Chrome three bar-style grille with chrome surround and chrome mesh insert
• Tailgate applique


My 16 KR has the King Ranch Chrome package, but it has the painted rear bumper and painted end caps on the front bumper. Dealer said it 's the way it came from the factory..... which I believe. But is it something I should pursue with FORD ? I personally like the looks of chrome bumpers better. The painted ones look nice, but I have concerns like how easily the painted bumpers chip being my biggest worry. Also, with this being a lease, will the company doing the final inspection be expecting the chrome bumpers (as specified by the above FORD information) and try to charge me for them not being on the truck ? I'm less concerned with that, but it is something to consider for 3 yrs down the road.

Anyone else have the King Ranch Chrome Package and also have the painted bumpers like I do ? Was mine a factory mistake ?

 

Is there a different package that trumps the "chrome appearance package" giving you 2 tone paint?

 

No, on the King Ranch, 2 tone is standard. And there is an option for deleting it:

King Ranchฎ Monochromatic Paint Package Includes:

• Monochromatic Paint (Two-tone delete)
• Wheellip molding painted body-color

 

I thought the chrome package on the king ranch gave you Chrome bumpers. Personally I like the bumpers you have the best. That's what I would like to have on my Lariat.

 

2 tones get matching bumpers.

Don't need to worry about chips, they are covers (16038).

 

Even using the build tool on the Ford site, once you select the chrome package, the "truck" on the page changes to chrome bumpers...and keeps the 2 tone.

 

As said above, 2 tone is standard on the KR and selecting the Chrome package clearly states chrome bumpers.

I'm less worried about the front end caps as I am the rear bumper actually. I have never liked the painted bumper....seen too many of them start to rust after 1 of our wonderful North East winters and the amount of salt used on our highways..... I have a buddy with a 2013 with the Sport Appearance Package, which also has painted bumpers and he has had to have his rear bumper painted already once from rust, but Ford covered it under warranty for him. But also said it was a 1 time "courtesy" repair.

 

You have 2 tone but not the painted bumpers ? I was looking at a nearly identical Lariat to my KR (color scheme wise... Bronze fire with caribou 2 tone) and that had the fully painted front bumper and painted rear bumper. I think almost every 2 tone Lariat I looked at was that way also....hhmmm....

 

Lariat have the entire front bumper painted while the KR only has the end caps painted. Ford build site does not correctly show that, they show the KR front bumper when you build a Lariat.

 

All King Ranch F150's that have 2 toned paint scheme come with the painted front end caps to match the 2 tone paint. You cannot order a 2 toned king Ranch & get solid chrome front & rear bumpers, it won't accept the order.
