Wink Just ordered a 06 KR

...went for an 06 althought incentives are not yet known. Not much difference in 06 as far as option and preliminary pricing. Got moon roof, locking differencial, (tow package is now included automatically so as garage opener ...Canada only), 20" whells, Audiophile, power sliding backglass. back up sensing..all wrapped in Dark copper
Will just look at a tonneau cover...I like the roll-in type...any suggestion...Sorry for the newbie question..I am sure this has been discussed prior. Thanks

Pace Edwards makes a nice electric roll-up tonneau. If it were mine, I'd check one of those out (kinda wish I would've when I bought this ARE tonneau... oh well).

Congrats on the new truck. I bet it's going to look tough with the 20" rims.

I've got it ordered through a fleet management company. I beleive dealers do not have it yet although the order guide has been released for some time (actually got the US order guide if you want it). Pricing for base here is up 790$ at 47,480$ CAN but now include tow package witch was a 475$ option...all other options are the same price...20" wheel are a very god deal at 795$ Got the truck for at 11% below MSRP with no incentives yet..i hope by then to shave another 4% off...base on that i would suggest the US base should not go up more then a couple hundred $

I bet the 20" are gonna look awesome but I am leary of the big wheels due to the trouble with my 04 f150 having vibration problems and being very wheel sensitive with the 18" But I believe the problem has been solved which is why I'm going with ford again.

i had the ARE tonneau on my 40 screw and trying to decide what to put on this 05 KR. i like the ARE since it gave another 3 or 4 inches in height. the screw bed is small to begin with. i realize that with the pace edward it can roll up and then the height is unlimited but then what i am covering is exposed. its all a trade off. the ARE also makes the truck looke better.

P275/55R20 OWL A/T (4), 4x2/4x4 – (Pirelli)

This ratio will give 0.5 inch more hight... but given the 20" ratio I would expect a firmer sidewall wich would translate in better handling. From the reviews posted on a very popular online tirestore the reviews of those tire as are averge...

By the way this truck price is less then 2K Can $ form the Mark LT...since the equipment is the same..is the bagde worth 2K?
