Ok this truck made it through and even though this made it through why haven't we seen ANY king ranches & platinum's delivered, what is different from them and even some Lariat ultimate packages. Led lights? I believe those are standard on the KR's & plats, optional on the Lariat ultimate package. Curious on the lariats delivered if they have LED's. Just brainstorming!

Yea i have the Led's they were a option. $1050 i believe. I also got the ultimate package. Only thing i see different is the painted bumpers, grill, and panel on tail gate. I love the platinum but hated the price.

Well so much for that shot in the dark, I tried. The fleet manager of one of the busiest dealers in the DFW area was generally surprised when I told him they were unloading a platinum, weird.

My other comment was to straighten out the other WRONG comment about the Platinum "lettering" that is now gone. You said Platinums scrapped the bed side lettering...but that's not was he was stating or asking. Now...maybe you were adding one layer to prove yes...this could be a Platinum because it doesn't have the Platinum lettering...I could see that. But I was with you the whole time.

You obviously have some ESP tapped into the guy's brain that posted that that I don't have to know that with such a matter of fact stance. LOL

That's what is weird. Looks like Platinum tailgate but window sticker is clearly a Lariat truck.

Notice that the window sticker shows a white paint job with caribou accent, as though it has a two-tone paint job. That is definitely not a Platinum option.

First, door badges wrong. Now a window sticker error. Strange. Does the VIN on the window sticker match the truck VIN?

Most the options listed are not even options in a Platinum truck because its all already standard.
