Seems like I recall seeing a f250 or 350 with similar handles... wonder if that manufacturer cut them a deal for the handle. *shrugs*

About 30 minutes ago, I examined a 02 SCREW KR. It had the funky handles. They're more angular than our 'rounded' ones. It stands out. Not sure I like them.

Also, there's been alot of discussion about the tailgate badge... the 02 that I just looked at had one. No supercrew badge... just a KR badge. Also, it had the 40/60 split in the back seat. Are the captain's chairs optional for the rear seats?

Hey RockPick

My Kr is an 02 with the 60/40 split. I ordered it that way. It was a no cost option. You could have then either way.

Wasn't aware that the 02 Screw's had the 40/60. I knew the supercabs did but, not the SCREWs.

Also, on the handles. I'm betting it was whatever Ford had in stock that day that kept the line moving. I saw another KR on another lot today and it had the rounded handles. (and a tailgate badge damnit).

Just wanted to make it clear the 60/40 split in my KR are the rear seats only. I have the KR buckets up front.

I tend to disagree. Looks like the bolt pattern is the same and thus, if you had them replaced, the square ones might show up in parts... and heck, the round ones might show up. All a matter of which were more readily available in my opinion.

Golfer... stroller and car seat... LMAO... that's too much man..

The baby was actually the excuse I used to get this truck. I still cannot believe my wife agreed with me. I must have done something right somewhere.......
