A couple of more questions,

Does any MFG make AZ beige mud flaps to enhance the KR special two tone paint job??

And in one of the photos here in KR, one of the members photos showed Saddle Bags on the rear of the seat???

Did Ford decide that two more pieces of leather were too much for the extra $2500.00 KR premium??

And one more thing, it alppeared in someones photo album that they had a black plastic storage box that fits under the rear drivers seat. ??? I miss my behind the seat storage that the '01 had.

For the late model KR -- Yes, they exist. For new body style -- nope.

I see none on ebay at the moment but, they *DO* exist (I had a set for my old KR). Not sure who makes them for Ford but, they were a Ford original accessory. There's a thread here in KR somewhere that lists all of the 2001-2002 KR specific accessories... but, being that you have a 06', we're both out of luck. Some have, however, painted Husky splash guards to match... not sure about durability though.

Can't remember when they stopped doing this... I know my 2001 had them but, I seem to recall that the 03' didn't? Someone here can confirm that. My 2005 does not have them... I recall Lenny mentioning that his 06' Expedition doesn't either.



Not sure what you're asking here...

The leather in the KR is quite a bit different than that of a Lariat. Further, the KR is what's known as a Marquis version and hence, the premium price tag. It's long since been known that subtle details add up to large price differences -- the KR is no exception. Honestly, it probably costs a minuscule amount more to produce and they charge a hefty premium for that minuscule amount. I'll go out on a limb here and say that the KR and the Harley editions are the highest profit margin F-150's made... also, maybe the L for the late models.

Is THIS what you're talking about?



It's called the DuHa storage system. If you have audiophile, it won't work. Like you, I miss the storage that my 01 provided... tis life. *shrugs*

Hope that helps!

I would like to find some also. I picked up some black ones today, but they do not fit correctly when I checked them and I will take them back tomorrow. I did find color matched bug deflector for the hood and the wind deflectors for the windows.

Brad....and others,

The Expy does have saddle bags on the backs of the seats....with flaps, which if you remember Ford did leave off for a while, a couple of years back.
It was either cost cutting, or they realised a standard road atlas didn't quite fit in there allowing the flap to close !

 

I stand corrected... sorry about that. I thought you had mentioned that it didn't... Thanks for the info!

 

I think it was because of the pockets coming away from the seatback (those darn rails). It seems that I just get them both back into place and "someone" lifts the flap and sticks their hand down the flap to see how deep it is and it pops out of the channel - again.

Lenny - how are the pockets "attached" to your seatbacks - in channels like the old days or "gussetted" leather pockets - like I wish mine were?

 

I thought this may be of interest! I took this photo at the North American International Auto Show in 2004.

My 05 has no flaps on the bags.

 

I wish I could pop out and have a look to tell you.

Except the Expy is 5000 miles away on t'other side of the Atlantic.I won't see it again until late October !

 

Well, that's a bummer. Nice picture there...

Looks like they 'considered' putting them on it for the new model year and then culled it -- probably as a cost savings method.

 

When I bought my '03 I remember seeing something about saddle bags. I'm guessing they were just using the wording cause I don't have a flap on mine.
