The only kicker on the front is the great big 'hole' at the bottom of the front clip above the chin. Again, Ford has left it unfinished looking with a gaping hole...
A custom EU sized license plate would fill that nicely.

The way they are wearing makes it difficult to tell if it started out as castano or chapparel ??!!

Not good......

Guys... I love King Ranch's. In fact I just bought my second KR F150. I bought mine for the seats. Because they are made from saddle leather and they wear and scratch and are rugged. I read a post a few days back about a rancher who never conditioned his seats because he liked the way they looked. Like a truck. From a Ranch. Dare I say the largest cattle Ranch in the United States. The King Ranch...
These new seats look like and are the same color as the brown interior of a BMW.
I hate to be the one who says it but there is NO saddle that has ever been made with pretty tan piping, and ventilation holes! These new seats may wear better and last longer but I'll take the used beat up seats out of that ranchers truck over these Lariat equivalent, anyday of the week.
Sorry ya'll just one man's opinion. And no hard feelings for ya'll who buy/bought the 09 because at least you didnt buy a Chevy =)

Thanks Guys!

I'm with you GDGemmer - I think the Castano seats are WAY better than the new ones.

I was out "conditioning" mine last night and noticed the stitching detail in them. Looks to me like Ford maybe cut some corners to save on costs in the new interiors.
