Thanks for the compliment!

There are a few reasons I opted for the Lariat.
1. Dark Stone isn't a King Ranch color
2. I really don't like the painted bumpers they went to for '08. The paint on the front bumper of myF150 was rock chipped pretty bad after just a few months.
3. Building and pricing both trucks, equipped as idnetical as I could spec them, had the KR costing $2,200 more. The new and improved Chaparral leather is very nice, but that's a lot of money for seats and badging. We're not all as rich as Fredvon4 !

I know that my seats are partly "pleather" (mostly in the rear) but that's OK with me. If money was no object, I would have got the King Ranch and bought some chrome "take off " bumpers from a truck accessory place. I do like that Dark Copper color almost as much as Dark Stone.

i am pretty sure i am going to order a f250 kr in dark copper 4x4 with the v10.
i see the towing ratings are the same in srw config so probably go with the 250 as i will never wear out an axle and most miles will be free of any trailer.
