King Ranch edition

I would like to turn my 2005 XLT F-150 into a King Ranch clone, but other than the wheels, I don't know what made the King ranch different from XLT's. Any help would be appreciated.

The King Ranch had its own unique interior.

Okay. Thanks. Guess I will just keep my XLT the way it is.

What about a KR was different enough from your XLT ... appealed to you ... such that you wanted to emulate it?

Honestly, just that it was the top of the line for that model year, and I wanted to duplicate it. However, swapping out the whole interior is not a possibility for me, and even the wheels wouldn't be a good idea since they are 18's and mine are 17's. I would have to buy new tires too. I am on a limited income, so I will be satisfied with the XLT. It has all the power options anyway. Maybe I can find some leather seat covers that actually look good and not tacky, to cover my worn-out cloth seats. I have only had the truck since June of this year and have a to do list, (interior lights don't work, power mirrors don't work, passenger side front and rear power windows don't work etc.) Was just wondering how easy it would have been to turn it into a KR.
