Figures they brought back Caribou after I bought my '18 stone grey Lariat

 

Caribou is a great color. So classy as a single color. It goes so much better with Ford colors as a two tone than the Stone Gray. I think I’ve made my mind up on the Bronze Fire/Caribou combo. Now KR or Camel?

 

Go KR! The 2020 is more brown than red leather.

 

I hope so. I really liked the brunello interior on the '17s and then they went to that red and it was awful.

 

Agreed. The Brunello was a much better color. IMO, That Platinum red interior is horrible, especially horrible on the doors and dash. Just who are these designers picking interior colors?

I’m really no fan of the KR branding. To me, it’s a stale theme, but the leather color will compliment the Bronze color, and the upgrades cost literally nothing when compared to the same option build on the Lariat. And, the folding steps come without sacrificing the chrome package. Resale will also be more attractive.
I guess we’ll see when the order guide spells everything out.

 

George,
You will not get a comparably equipped KR for near the cost of a Lariat. No way. Tack on $3,500.
Also, resale is not a guarantee after you shell out more. It all depends on how long you keep it. I’ve been there, and higher optioned trims depreciate more quickly than less equipped trims. In the end, YOU pay for the fluff and trim.

 

I agree that equipment packages are sometimes tougher to recoup, but well equipped trucks are what I want.
Ok, I just built them again, paying closer attention and eliminating accessories which are the same. Same equipment and both with the Ultimate package. More must be added individually with the Lariat to match packaged Ultimate equipment with the KR, such as two tone, roof, LED etc.

Lariat $74,380 plus the cost of the power steps which are not available with the chrome package.
The KR $75, 940 with the same equipment. Extremely close. I may be wrong, or have missed something, but I think it’s right.
Give it a shot and see if I missed something.

I can’t get a clear screen shot of what I did, but both F-350 CCSWB.

 

I agree to some point SmokeWagon. But down here in Texas the higher trim level trucks hold value longer than the XLT package trucks. But, F250's are extremely common here unlike up north.

 

I was in Austin a few weeks ago on a job and thought I would go look at a new truck since texas is the truck capital of the world. They had probably 15 superduties on the lot and not a single one was a 350. That is strange that Texas mainly sells 250s. Also I thought I could get a great deal on one, that's why I looked, but the dealership would only negotiate down $1000 off MSRP but that was just the factory ford rebate and they didnt even give me the $1000 ford credit rebate. I didnt ask for it but IMO if it's a good and honest dealership I shouldn't have to ask. Needless to say I left with my truck.

 

Unless they kept the name and changed the color, Vermillion Red Clearcoat (E4) is the old "Fire Engine" red that was replaced by Race Red

 

I actually think the f350 is the new f250. People are willing to pay $1k for extra payload ect. Where I’m from a lot of f250 on the lot and a lot of platinums on the lot.

Hardly any f350 or 350 KR. Those are probably selling quicker.

 

Im not so sure now vermillion will make the cut - yes - it showed it on the website but I went to it yesterday and in the picture they switched it to “lucid red”. I’m almost positive it said vermillion last week.

That would make sense seeing Tiny posted a 2020 fleet color chart showing the colors and vermillion is not listed.

Also looks like they took off magna red red and will use bronze

took out stone grey and will use caribou.

 

Unfortunately you are correct at least I believe so. I had a 2008 forgot what it was called but it was like a fire engine red. I will be purchasing a 2020 in race red


because they do not have my old red from 2008.

 

Great color. I would also like to see the Vermillion Red make a return.

 

My 2008 was Vermillion Red I found out a few days ago. Sooooooo... My 2020 will be Race Red. I prefer Vermillion Red. Close enough I guess.
