King Ranch... Why did you buy one?

^ He only said he liked the seats. Buying seats would be much cheaper than a KR. Many people buy seat covers anyways, which makes me wonder why people opt for leather seats in the first place... Like spending extra on a special paint color and then painting over it...

I bought a KR due to the fact that once you added in all the options i wanted on a Lariat, It was actually cheaper to get the KR and have a few more options, and the seats are more comfortable with the 3 lumbar levels.

And the Platinum really has a good price point if you are looking for a well optioned truck as some of the items optional on KR are standard on Platinum (or at least included in the 701A package). Optioning up a less expensive truck is the most expensive way to get a well optioned truck.
(The Platinum's leather is really soft, too)

The leather in the Plat is softer than the KR, but after going between them a few times, you dont notice it on the butt. I debated between the 2 and glad I ended up with the KR. Love it more and more each day.

I was fortunate enough to order my truck, and was able to get whatever trim level and features I wanted. There were a few things about the KR that I favored: interior/ seats, color combo and wheels. 2 1/2 yrs later and no regrets!

Still FAR less to buy seats than to pay for a KR. If the seats you're replacing are the lower pleather seats, you could even sell those afterwards and make the upgrade even cheaper.

Last night I found several KR that are selling for less than my 502a Lariat. Quite a few are $10,500 off MSRP.

King Ranches are just awesome, plain and simple.

It's really a matter of taste for the most part. Given the two choices of Platinum or KR with money being no object, I'd still pick the Platinum. None of the KR things appeal to me. Two-toned paint, poo brown leather, wood trim... Nope.
