I take it that this is only for the DRW trucks, not SRW. Does the KR always come with the center console? I don't recall seeing any without it, HD trucks either now that I think about it..

Beautiful truck, skelso!

From what I was told the "wide track" front suspension is the F-450 front axle on the F-350. Is that true?

I believe the wide track does use the same front axle as the 450. I'm not sure how much wider it is than without it but I know that without it the front wheels are appoximately the width of the inside set of rears. My front tires are the width of the outside set of rears. I have to admit, I bought the option 90% for the looks and 10% for the turning radius but after parking it a few times, I'll never look back.

By the way, I've tried for 3 days to post a classified add and it keeps timing out but I'm selling the custom replacements off my '05. If any of you have an '05 - '07 Superduty that needs replacements, these are as strong, well built, and dressy as they come.

The wide track is only for F450 and optional on F350 DRW Crew Cabs.

Both the King Ranch & Harley-Davidson edition Super Duties can be ordered with either the FlexFold rear bench or Quad Captains. Either way, they have the front Captains seat & the front center console. With the Quad Captains seating option, the rear captain seats lack some of the adjustability & the arm rests of their front brethren.

The KR's are incredibly nice. I looked at a used one when I was buying mine just to see what I'd be missing out on, and I those leather seats are sweet. The fender flares on that wide axel really make that massive front end look more filled out.

Great lookin truck Skelso! I've never noticed the wide track option before. I'm sure I'll see a lot more of them now. Good luck and many happy miles with the new truck!

Thanks for the compliment on the truck though! Gonna start looking even better this week. Headache rack and fuel tank are going in end of the week. Looks like bumpers will be after the first of the year.

nice truck man your not the only person to say that about the 05's. Lots of head gasket problems and stuff, I personally have an 01 F250 7.3 and I love the hell out of this truck. Im not takin anything from the 6.0 but you dont really hear much about the 7.3 breaking down that often.
