finally ordered it!
Well, after much research, I finally ordered a new truck today - 05 F150 King Ranch 4x4 - yahoo!
I've learned a ton from this site (both the King Ranch board and the 04 - 05 F150 board), and I'd like to pass a long a word of thanks to all that post regularly - the information here is fantastic and ultimately I felt I was well informed in my decision to go with the F150.
So, I now have 6 - 8 weeks to wait for delivery on the truck - dark copper, all options except DVD, sun roof, and bed extender. I was originally going to go with the sun roof, but I think the storage for pits and pieces provided by the overhead rail set up will be of practical use for me, given that the F150 is a bit shy on storage compartments.
It's gonna be a long 8 weeks, but I'm feeling good!!!

Jack,
Congrats on the new truck. I ordered mine just after February 1st and it should be in sometime this week. I am excited to pick it up.
I decided against the DVD and sunroof too.
Congrats again,
Tom

Passing on another Congrats on your new truck. I just got back from a weekend trip to Lake Havasu, AZ and could not believe the number of new King Ranch trucks I saw on the road. A couple of F150's but more 350's than ever - all pulling large boats or toyhaulers.
Sure are some fine looking trucks!!!
Please post a few pics of your new KR when you get it.

Many thanks for the kind words, and a congrats back to you Tom on your new truck - hopefully you'll see it this week!
I have only seen one F150 and one F350 King Ranch on the road so far - not too many around here.
I'll be sure to post some pics when it arrives. I'm going to try and forget about it for now as 8 weeks will crawl by if I don't.
Thanks again and look forward to posting more often soon!!

Update: My KR was built today! 14 - 21 days wait for delivery now. All told should be 6 weeks from order date, worst case.
C'mon, I need existing KR owners to pump up my excitement level (as if I'm not exceited enough already!).
I can almost smell that leather - instead I just sniff the bottle of KR conditioner my wife bought me the other day.....
