I couldn't tell if there were 2012 Lariats at the Texas State Fair too. I would love to see pictures of what the new woodgrain is like and what the heavy-payload SuperCrew Lariat looks like.

Thanks for the link!

That new wood looks like the cool matte wood in the Lariat Super Duty.

Awesome!

Looks like a Ford designer has been trolling around F150online for a while.. These new aesthetic updates are mods that we have been doing on this forum for the past few years.. I personally think that black FX2 looks like crap.. The colors and decals don't flow together..

The badges would look better if they were PTM.

Yes, it is. Cooled seats come with the FX Luxury Package in 2012.

I like it but...they need to flip the tires so they are black walled. Would look 100% better. O and some red accents on the rims would look good...overall they are finally catching on with the times

+1, the lack of contrast by murdering out the dash makes for a dreary ****pit that doesn't add any sense of "sport" to me. They should rename the interior color scheme "Hefty Glad Bag"

The matte black hockey stick graphics on the side are... bleh (where is the puke emoticon when you need it?)

And the red badges? WOW THAT IS SPORTY FORD! Come on, you can do better than this. I may change my opinion once I see this in person in a different color, but right now this glorified badge and sticker job is not exciting me.

[EDIT: LOL I can't say c0ckpit on F150online?]
