I was kind of hoping to see the chrome package back. This is my big hangup with trading my '06. Truck is still like new (only 9 months old) but would like to try the new '08. Dealer is giving me a real good trade value for mine also. Decisions, decisions!
It is tempting. I usually keep my vehicles for about 7 years though, and I have barely gotten used to this one. I did blow the rear main seal out last week and was the reason I was visiting my dealer in the first place. Of course I had to inquire on the '08s and this meant to them I was looking to trade. With the small increase in the price for the same thing I have minus the chrome package (which I really like) and the great trade value they are offering me its hard not to consider it. Biggest issue is I have been babying this current vehicle intending on keeping it for the long haul spending the extra dough for synthetic oils, Ford Gold remote start/security system, anticorroision device, truck cap and a bunch extras. Someone would get a great truck like new if I did trade it!
I saw it on the dealer's computer screen when I spec'd out my '08.

I know, I didn't think you could get the KR chrome package either (I didn't give it a second thought when the dealer showed me since I'm not a chrome person. I prefer the monochrome sport look.) I'm only passing along what I saw. I could be mistaken, lord knows it happens enough at my age!
