Ford expands high-end lineup with Platinum Super Duty
Just saw this ... about a month old ... interesting for those looking for a Platinum package:

That 8 inch screen and the redone surrounding controls sure does look good, doubt I run in to trade my truck just for that.

Not sure how I feel about that giant silver thing on the tailgate...

I like the idea of a heated steering wheel - but here I'd probably use it oh, one or two days......

I was looking at a platinum 150 once, my sole decision against it was the chrome plate on the tailgate. Hated it!

I love that grill! Not a fan of the painted bumpers, IMO all trucks should have chrome or railroad iron

I thought I saw a pic of the SD Platinum a while back that had the gear shifter down on the console. This one still shows it on the column.

I would take that over a KR any day, but only if it came in DRW!

Come on. You get Platinum mentioned numerous times in and on the truck, a little bit of extra chrome, real wood inserts on your heated steering wheel and an 8 inch screen. That's worth at least $10k.
