Oh, and the front headrests had adjustable tilt angle and the back ones folded down, presumably for better view.

My bed rails, bed cover, brake lights and most of my other mods will be transferable also but I will lose the chrome door pillars and rocker panels is about it I think. Originally I was thinking platinum but the king ranch was what he showed me when I asked about the 13s, I wanted to check out the headlights and my ford touch in person, but the king ranch is pretty sweet so I need to compare it to platinum more but I liked it. The rear seats are heated, not sure if they were from 11+ or if that's new, but it wasn't an option in 10. I'm going to stay with black in pretty sure. I'm kinda leaning for the 6.2, guys around here love the 5.0 but don't like the eco, found out the dealer gets all 3.73 ecos which might be why they are getting bad mileage, said they were gonna start ordering 3.31 and 3.55s for eco now though. But I've been hearing decent numbers from the 6.2, i'm happy with my 5.4 so I wouldn't mind a little more power for not much mileage loss I think, not 100% decided yet though, either choice would bee good I think.
According to the 2013 Buyers Guide, 6.2L is not available in King Ranch. Just 5.0 and Ecoboost.

I do like the old style King Ranch Castaño leather better than the current Chaparral leather.
Still have it. I think SultanGris was responding to my comment above about 2005 leather versus newer style.

I like the fact you can get the monochrome King Ranch now. The black interior surround looks great too.

I think the poster above is correct, no option for the 6.2L in the KR.

Ya I think its still different, the seat backs by the head rests are for sure but salesman told me I could get a 6.2 in king ranch also so who knows, he's been wrong before though, lol

Above poster is correct, no 6.2 for KR. If you build a 2013 on ford.com the only
engine options are 5.0 and 3.5.

2011 KR have rear heated seats. If you are getting the 6.5' bed, get the side steps, definitely come in handy. I haven't been overly impressed with the so-called new leather. I really like how it looks in the F-250 and older models. It still is a very nice truck though.

I know your stuck on the EB doesn't get the mileage with ur wind but then the 5.0 and 6.2 are working harder as well. I think your making a mistake ruling the EB out. You sound like my bro in law who is a die hard v8 motor head. Took him several test drives on the lot and my EB now he has a **** eating grin on his face each day with his EB
