Let's start over......
I don't really like how the two-tone is hardly discernible anymore. What was once harvest gold/Arizona beige/pueblo gold etc. is now basically brown. In some colors I can't even tell it's there.
I liked the KR that I saw a few weeks back... It was $60k and had several creature features... it was pretty sharp but, I'm still extremely disappointed that the interiors of the KR F-Series has been repeatedly downgraded.
My 2001 KR (first year of existence of this boutique model), had leather that was incredibly thick, durable, and truly embraced the cowboy feel. In fact, a member here that is very familiar with super high end vehicles noted that it was one of the finest interiors that he'd ever seen in any vehicle (with alot of 6-figure cost vehicles in the mix).
The leather in my 05 KR went down -- not as thick and certainly not as durable.
The leather in my 2012 KR is easily the worst and least unique.
The 2015 that I saw seems to embrace the 2012 mentality and production paradigm.
I realize that FoMoCo saw warranty issues from this interior as a result of people simply not taking care of such a dramatically nice interior (uncoated, analine, leather is simply light years above coated leather from a feel and uniqueness standpoint) but, to take something that was really a unique item that was well worth the additional cost to get in to a boutique model and do what they've done now (basically have made it a premium lariat) is very disappointing to me.... very disappointing.

For that price I'll just go buy a used Shelby super snake....it will haul *** but not a lot of cargo
Those work well for me. I pick up lots of mud at the farm.

I tried to get Weathertechs for my '97 Cavalier but their site said they didn't make them. Kind of surprised me considering how many of those cars were built over the years!
