Lariat Luxury Package
Does anyone with a 2005 have the Lariat Luxury Package. How does the woodgrain look. Is it too much woodgrain. I am going to purchase a 2005 F250 in the next couple of weeks. I like the other stuff included in the Luxuary package but don't think I will like all the woodgrain. Any comments would be appreciated.

I like mine but I have the deep console with a paper clip in the middle vs. the bench. One problem is the plastic "wood grain" scratches pretty easy. Otherwise I like it a lot.

I am suprised to see the woodgrain dash has so many loyal fans. I opted for an XLT because of my dislike for the plastic woodgrain, and the lieometer. But if I could do it over I would have gotten the leather in my XLT. The HVAC controls and audio controls on the steering wheel are a nice options, but IMO there are too many other have to takes to get them.

I've been happy with mine in my King Ranch as well. The woodgrain looks pretty good to me. Ok, I could get a better interior on a nice 7 series BMW, but lets remember that this is a truck. I had been driving cars for years - no trucks until I bought my current Super Duty. I had looked at the Super Duty trucks before and liked the external rugged looks and performance; I just struggled to move from a car to a truck as a day-to-day vehicle mostly because the interior was a little too utilitarian for me. There were some other options, like the Escalade things, but I think that those just go too far. When I finally got a look at a Super Duty with the King Ranch, which includes the Lariat Luxury Package, I think Ford finally hit the perfect truck for me. I'll emphasize the 'for me' part as I know many people have no problem with a more utilitarian styled interior in a truck. Even without the King Ranch, the Lariat Luxury packages looks like a good balance of comfort vs. practicality to me, considering that this is a truck we're talking about.

I like mine, it is OK but it is not *jaw dropping*. Only had the truck 3 weeks so far, but I like it. As was mentioned above I been pondering over doing the CF replacements but like the wood better then any of those I have seen. By the time I see something I'll prolly not want to change

I have the HD 150 and the black carpet shows all manner of thing vs the grey. I am constantly cleaning the floor as everything shows up on the black. I love my 250 and would have gotten the black but I already have an HD and thought I would go with the Lariat this time. I was surprised that the security group option really had nothing to do with Security as there is no special key or alarm for that matter.
