My name is Harris and i am from Mount Pleasant, SC. I currently drive a 2000 Chevy Tahoe with a 6" lift and 35" mud grapplers. I am really wanting a '04-'08 F150 either king ranch or fx4. What are the main differences between the two? My requirements are a leather interior, 4 wheel drive, and crew cab. I will definitely do the leveling kit and 35s and probably a evo tuner and some sort of exhaust that isn't too obnoxious. But here are some pics of my hoe!



and a pic with my new bumper:

 

Nice tahoe man, i'd recommend a 4 door King Ranch

 

difference b/w King Ranch and FX4 are:
KR:
tan colored interior
shocks
tan bottomed

FX4:
grey/black interior
rancho shocks (to ford specs i have heard)
either solid color, or a gray bottom

so decide what color interior you want and that will be your decision of what you want.

 

The king ranch has Saddle leather, the FX4 is available with black leather, the King Ranch has different wheels, The FX4 is more of an Off-Road type truck than the KR in my opinion

 

fx4's w/ 20's share same wheels, just different center caps.

but i agree i think fx4 more offroad, but technically both are equally capable

 

+1 Also the leather does not have any protective coating on it. The castano leather is a very soft great looking leather. But it will stain fairly easily so if you don't mind spending the time to keep the leather in good condition go for it! I personally love the leather and would love a KR but I have a Lariat instead.

The KR has a dark brown Castano saddle leather interior not tan. The carpet and panels are a tan but not the leather.

 

KEEP TEH TAHOE!

Welcome...Nice Tahoe. =0

 

Welcome to the forum....I am in n. charleston area......I say get a Fx4, they are nicer i think, and more options as far as color interior! Nice Hoe

 

Yes welcome. I am also in the North Charleston area, but I disagree about the FX4 being nicer. The interior is much nicer on the KR. I say buy whatever you get the best deal on.

 

Basically, the KR is an "Upgraded" Lariat. The leather requires much more care than any other leather interior you may have ever owned or wanted. If you are up for cleaning and conditioning your seats and interior at least twice a year, then go for the KR. IF that is not your thing, go for the FX4. Both will serve you well, but one requires more care to keep it nice. I have owned my '02 KR for over 5 years now, and absolutely LOVE IT! I do not have any second thoughts about "using" it, as it is a truck, but, looking at the pics of your Tahoe, if your interior gets as dirty as your exterior, you may want to consider the FX4. Mud will not do these seats any favors, and will require alot of work to get them back in shape. The Lariat leather seats can just be wiped off and they are good to go. That is the difference in the leathers, otherwise, they are the same truck.
You can get some tremendous deals on either right now, but you're not going to get diddly in trade for your Tahoe probably...it's in the same category as the full size trucks.

Good luck

 

I mean nicer in that he would have more of an option for color interior as apposed to just the brown color.....but to each i his own ....

 

get an fx4. actually if i were you i would wait a little bit an get an 09 fx4, lockers FTW

 

the interior is the whole inside of the truck. so yes its tan with dark brown Castano leather.

if you offroad alot, which it looks like you do i would get a FX4, will hide alot more stains and the KR leather is a PIA to take care off. my friend is constantly attending to his seats. my dad hasn't had a problem with his but he doesn't drive his truck as much as his motorcycles.
and a KR and Lariat are the same thing, just different seats, and maybe a accent or two inside. that is the only difference.

and also a side note, the KR leather shows "love stains"

 

fx4 it is!

 

Welcome.
