0.9% is for suckers!
Welcome to the Forum! Unlike you I purchased a Lariat in 2011....then fixed that last week and got a 2013 Platinum. The forum is full of helpful and valuable information. I was able to "qualify" for X-plan also because of the info gleened from this forum. MSRP on my Platinum was $55075 and out the door price was 47300.

Congrats on the new Platinum!!
I absolutely LOVE my Platinum and didn't want to settle for anything less. I figured since I keep my vehicles for a very long time...why not get everything I wanted in the truck and be able to enjoy all the comforts it has. I am also a gadget man at heart and love all the comforts etc. that it has.

I have to say there are numerous features I've never had before (some on other models as well). The cooled seats are jammin'! Subtle, but sooo nice! I am fascinated by the auto windshield wipers as well. BTW, where is the sensor for that? It really works well for the most part, but occassionally I do get the rogue wipe for no reason.
Again, great to be here and part of the family. I hope everyone has a great day!

I would have to agree with you on that one. I love the interior of the Platinum. My favorite Platinum "exclusive" is the steering wheel. It really looks and feels upscale. The aluminum trim and the darker wood "like" trim look great together with the black interior. It's really a great space to spend some time!

You can get one if you order it that way. I just got lucky and someone else did and then backed out of the deal. Their loss my gain. I bought a 2013black on black FX4 with the full platinum interior options couple weeks ago Only difference is I have the red gauges on the dash but all the options of a platinum. And I am loving it

Retired and loving it!
Very nice truck, and welcome to this GREAT forum. With the millions of F-150's out there, this forum is a very active one.
I would love to have those hidden running boards for my Lariat --- but you can't have everything ---- oh wait, yes you can if you get the Platinum!! Two

Hi, LyteFly -
Welcome to the forum! Although I've participated in other message boards for the last couple years, I'm pretty new here too.
I'm part of the In-Vehicle Technology Team; I can help with any SYNC, MyFord Touch, or navigation-related questions.
Congrats on the new truck.

Now to the OP, Great looking P L A T I N U M! I too am a Platinum owner upgraded from a 2001 Screw so the difference for me is incredible. I am enjoyed every single moment spent in the truck except for the part of trying to park it away from everybody. 9 months strong and NO scratch.
