I would have gone with the KR, but dislike the two tone paint. My rig will have the adjustable pedals, which will come in handy when the wife climbs in and screws things up. Regarding the seats....all I know is the difference between my F150 XLT and what I ordered is AMAZING. Can't wait!!

The new Lariat with Ultimate package includes everything on the KR, minus the standard two tone paint and interior colors.

After my post I did remember something else. I like the lighted steps alot more than the lariat ultimate too.

And the 4.6 in your truck was a great motor. Just VERY underpowered. Ford finaly started to realize that people want to be able to merge into traffic since the five hundred got killed and the taurus with the better motor came out.

Call me a fool, but I'd like to see some comparisons between an OLD SCHOOL 460(with REAL head ports, not the new stuff) and some of the above. I doubt many would argue the 460 isn't dependable, and parts are a LOT cheaper than most of the stuff above. I'm thinkin it might spank a v10 pretty seriously, for a lot less
