Well after many months of looking and not finding what I wanted I finally broke down and orderd my 02 KR the last week of Nov. Not too many supercrews around L.I. Even less KR's. Dealer thinks it may be in before Christmas. I won't hold my breath on that.

I kept drooling over everone else's KR's and just could not take it any more. Lots of great info on this site. It has been very helpful thanks to all.

I will keep everyone posted.

 

My recent non-KR order experience was less than one month.

Ordered 10/23/01
Received 11/19/2001

2002 Supercrew Lariot

It not a KR but it took less than a month from order to delivery.

 

Hey LINYScrew,

Congrtats on the KR, you'll love it, I'm sure!

Tell us tell us, what's the specs, color and your plans. You can do that before the babe shows up!

C'mon, give us just a little hint won't ya!

The tough was deciding on the color. It was a toss up between the Charcoal Blue and the Chestnut. I like the way Daveman's looks but never got to see one in person. So I went with the blue.

I would like to get a bedrug for it as well as a lid. Any suggesttions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Come on guys and gals let me know especially about how you like the lids you bought for your trucks.

 

 

I have the same Charcoal Blue and I got a Leer cap. I have been very happy with it, and it was considerably cheaper than the ARE's. I got the King Ranch Arizona Beige Ford factory bedliner and I really like it. No one around here has ever seen one like it before. It matches all the tan trim perfectly. Too bad I covered up the bed with a cap. I've got pictures in my gallery.

 

I went with an ARE lid...which cost me a pretty penny...it matches great.....i had it hooked up with my ford remote starter so when i unlock the doors on the second push it also unlocks the lid. it also automatically locks it when you put the truck in drive or push the button.....i love it....i had a spray in bedliner done...Linex...in an arizona beige.....it matches pretty good....i love it....you get the feeling i love my truck?...well, i do....pictures of my Thomas are in my gallery

Daveman,
aren't ya proud of me....only took me three months to figure out how to do that.....sorry...computer iliterate.....

 

Skagel,

You've done well grasshopper. Now, go and add no more my child

No really, I'm proud of you and also impressed, not many chicks can hold a candle to your auto skills.

See Ya,
DaveMan

 

You guys are killing me with all your upgrades. I'm lagging way behind, the only thing that I've done is put new wheels and snowtires on! Oh, wait, I put a bug guard on.

 

LINYScrew:

First I want to say Congrats. Take it from someone who just took delivery of the same (almost) exact truck you just ordered, you are gonna Love this truck. WOW. I think you picked the right color. You cant lose however with the KR color combos. The truck is a dream. This is my 2nd S-Crew, and after a few days of driving, this truck is much smoother, less road noise and real sleek. It is a great drive. I will be putting another ARE LSII Lid on mine just like I had on my first one. I love it. The looks of that lid are like none other and I think it adds alot to the truck. Great quality lid too.

Here's my new ride and I threw in a pic of my 1st S-Crew w/ ARE Lid. Highly reccomend ARE. Congrats! I have 343 miles on mine now.



Black S-Crew Lariat w/ ARE LSII Lid. I have more pics of it in photo gallery.

 

i would have recomended the ARE lid and infact i have....my mom and sister are having them put on there new trucks....but today after only having my ARE lid for a month the paint is already chipping...started a thread regarding this in the body forum.....but i still love the lid and love being able to unlock it with the remote.

 

Thanks for the info everyone. I will have to start looking around to see what is available.

It seems I will have a little more time than I thought. I talked to the dealer today. I got my VIN number today and he said the truck is scheduled for production the first week in January. Now I'm really worried. You know how alot of people get around the holidays.

 

This is my 2nd SC, the 1st one was an XLT, this time, I can play with the big boys! Local dealer had ordered one for inventory and I reserved it. I just found out that it rolled of the line today and should be here by the weekend. Moonroof, 5.4 4WD, 3.55 Limited Slip, Bed Extender, 6 disc CD and whatever else comes with the KR, btw, it's Charcoal Blue. Can't beat it, A-plan, less $1000 rebate! Couldn't wait for it!

 

congradulations on the choice color...we will have to add your name to our charcol blue poll.....you are going to love this truck like you have loved no other....if you don't you can give it to me...i could use another one

Congrats gonzo2540,

Skagel is right, you'll absolutely love the King Ranch truck however, not quite as much as Skagel. No one can love their truck more than her, unless you talk to dufunnel as he's running a close second.

I'm partial to Chestnut color but that Charcoal blue is really nice too. Actually, there is no King Ranch that looks bad, they're all great colors IMO.

Good luck and welcome to the close knit KR family where the owners are few but the spirits are high!
