Ok I'm just being picky for fun. It really wouldn't matter to me if I was to get a 15. I can find a new spot for my phone. I got time, plan on getting a 16.
Maybe that long indentation in between the shifter and the cupholder can hold a cellphone

So once again, to anyone who's acutally touched it, was the website I mentioned correct that it is metal?

It states in the order guide that was posted on this forum that the platinum comes with "Aluminum Appliqué on Center Panel and Console" and "Unique Genuine Wood Interior Trim Accents". Also watching the HD videos people have taken does indeed looks like the dash is the same brushed aluminum that's in the current platinum.

Sadly the door handles do look like painted plastic in HD videos vs the dashes brushed aluminium look, ford should have made the platinum interior all aluminum but the fact that the dash is still aluminium is nice and something I don't think the other truck makers do.

Looking at the pic I love the look but just realized no ledge above the traction ctrl/4-way flasher/air bag override and no cubby under the 4wd switch. I'm going to miss those!
The tray on the dash looks deeper though, so it might actually be functional when on bumpy roads now, that's where my cell phone will be, that or plugged into the ac port in the cubby hold underneath the radio that's in front of the shifter!

The tray on top of the new dash is much deeper and larger than the current tray. It is huge when you opt for the lower level stereo w/o the center speaker. Looks like you could probably fit a lunch box up there.

Yes, they are available with metal wrapped plastic just like the high level current generation trucks.

Looks like there are lights and then the grille/mess could be the bluetooth microphone behind.

If they aren't lights, then they are probably the motion detector sensors for the alarm system. My '07 Mustang has the same setup and has the sensors there.

I'm wondering the same thing. To me, it also looks like the trailer brake controller is a little to low?

Im pretty sure they are speakers, I read in the order guide there is 10 speakers, so 4 in the doors, 2 in the a pillars, and 4 in the top console thingie.
