You might be thinking of the Raptor.

saw this truck at The Denver Auto Show back in March. I love the new Nav screen and design how it sits higher and flatter in the dash so the sun doesn't hit it so much. And I am going to get that grill when it comes out!

I think it will be short lived. Ford did a platinum Super Duty in 2002 or 2003.

But it was nothing like today. A visor and special seats.

What's so different about this one? The tailgate? Some billet emblems on the fender?

The leather is just a different color.

The dash change will most likely be standard in all 2013's with Nav.

Here ya go. http://wot.motortrend.com/ford-unvei...um-178119.html

That gives a little more insight to the OP's link.

The new nav screen will be standard in 2013's and Ford MyTouch will be as well in F150 & 250's. The platinum base MSRP is anticipated to be right inline with the KR. But, the only comparable is a 2012 KR. So YM's vary year to year.

That's a darned slick new dash setup ... as well, that front grill is outstanding IMO.

What really sucks Ford makes you get a crew cab to get the KR or whatever other blinged out fancy plastic trim model POS ford wants to spit out. Some of us dont need (non family guys) and dont want a crew cab (4door) pick up. Unless you get a short bed the things a monster. I for one want a long bed for space and the larger fuel tank. This is my first non regular cab truck. Ive wanted the extra cab space for a while (reclining seats are a must if you live in your truck). This truck is actualy too long for some spots I go (narrow roads in the woods) but we have to make compromises . If you could get a supercab KR, there would be one in my driveway right now..........And for the POS comment..although they are fancier and more comfortable todays Fseries isnt even close to the Fseries of 1970....It is nice to not have a hardtail Fseries though....Suspension is nice for us old guys......You NEVER saw a F350 then so it was the F250 that rode like the rear end was welded to the frame.
