It is good to know the fabric is heavily starched. Maybe it will soften up some before shorts season.

WolfFox,

Just wanted to say I really admire your taste in trucks too. I have one on order now that looks to be identical to yours, including the bronze fire, except it's an F450. I struggled back and forth for a long time as I have an F350 KR now and we LOVE it, but in the end I opted for the F450. My wife and I bought a new 43 ft. 5th wheel toy hauler this year and we plan to put mega miles on it in retirement. In other words, it's my "last" truck so I wanted to make it count.

How do you like your rig? Do you pull something with it?
Sorry, I just say this post. We will be pulling a 40 1/2' 16K 5th wheel. In fact, it just came in last night and is getting prepped I type. We will be picking it up the day after Christmas. I looked at trying to get the SRW, but the Pin weight was just going to be to heavy. Glad I got the DRW. I have no problem getting around town, parking going through drive through's or any of the negative things peeps talk about on here. The only thing would be the turning, which you will have no problem with. If I was going to pull over the 23K range, I would go with a F450. Your gonna love that 450. I'm loving this 350 DRW

Makes sense, thanks. I've also noticed the same about the cloth seats in the two XLT's I've seen at the dealer....they appear and feel like better quality than the GM and Ram. Like you I much prefer the handles in chrome and/or painted to match over the black plastic.
