Get the color YOU like best - like others have said, you are the one footing the bill. Personally, I like all the KR colors, but think that the green is my favorite. However, seeing as how I don't have a dog in this fight - you might not want to listen to me!

As far as the sunroof goes - having been in a vehicle that rolled - I don't really want glass over my head! However, you just need to decide if you feel like increasing your payment $x.xx every month for the option.

 

I knew this would start another color war. I agree with the last post. The colors are all a matter of preference, and of course we will all prefer our color the best. I will remind you of the availability of the colors on other vehicles though. The charcoal blue is also available on the Eddie Bauer Expy and Explorer. The estate green was available on the Sport Trac and other F150 models, as well as the Expy. The chestnut I have seen on other F150 models and Super Duty trucks.

So in my opinion as I have seen it, the charcoal blue is the most unique color because it is available on fewer vehicles. They claim these are all unique colors, but they are not. They use them on other vehicles too.

In the end get whichever one suits you best. I have always been partial to blue, and it was even better when it was on fewer vehicles than the other colors. Of course now they are adding white and black, and white has always been one of my favorites.

 

Well, I guess that I, too, should chime in here. I have the Chestnut and think that it is the best color for me. Note: for me. I personally think the Blue or the Chestnut looks better than the green. What I especially like about the Chestnut is how it looks with the KR seats...which IMHO are the nicest looking and feeling seats ever put in a truck (or most cars for that matter). I is also kind of cool how the Chestnut 'changes' color in different light. That being said, buy something other than Chestnut so mine is more 'unique'.

Chestnut, Chestnut, Chestnut...

To each his own, but what's with adding white and black. I don't think that will look good with the Castano Leather at all and talk about being just like every other truck on the road.

 

Thanks to all who have replied. I have read all repsonses with a big smile. I looked again today at another chestnut at a different dealership. This one had sunroof.....Nice!

My preferences are chestnut, green, then blue (in that order). I am probably going to be limited to my choices because I have decided that I am going to take a chance that there will be 0% financing at the end of the year to close out the 2002 models. I am crossing my fingers I can win this bet (that there will be a 2002 KR available). So, I may not be able to pick my color since the model year is coming to a close. But, like many of you said, I am the one paying the note and the difference between 0% and 3.9% is about $50/ month. Those are savings worth waiting for.

Marc -

Don't know if you've made the jump yet but as far as color goes, there's only one choice; Chestnut w/Arizona Beige accent. I bought a 2002 Supercab KR 4X4 and after looking at the different color combinations, Chestnut was the only choice; not only because of how good it looks from the outside but the King Ranch interior compliments the exterior color much better than the other available colors. Personal opinion of course!

I'm very pleased with my truck. The only additions are a Line-X Bedliner and an A.R.E. LSII tonneau. Sometime in the future, I plan on upgrading the stock tires. The 265/70/17s are too small for the vehicle. I don't necessarily want to lift the truck, just put on slightly bigger tires.

Good luck with yours.

 

Hey Chestnut, do you have some pictures of yours? I aks because I haven't seen that color with the ARE lid, and I haven't seen the ARE lid on a SuperCab yet

 

Chestnut,

Welcome to our King Ranch forum. I have to agree with your color choice also. As soon as you figure out how to post pictures and such, we can enjoy learning more about you.

Later,

~DM~

 

yes Chestnut is a beautiful color of choice....but dont' the '02's come in the white too now? if so get white.

 

Skagel,

I think white is anew color for '03. Have NEVER seen an '02 in white.

Current incentives ($2000 cash back or 3.9% for 60 months) end in Atlanta 9/3. SO, 9/4 may be the birthday of my new ride if all goes according to plan. Playing my hand hoping for the Ace!

oh yeah I forgot that you wanted an '02......Steve got ya that pin right? If he didn't I will have to get on him for it.... .....maybe I will anyways.....I gotta keep you guys in line.....

 

ViperG-

I just created a gallery and loaded some pictures. You can reach it at (hopefully):

https://www.f150online.com/galleries....cfm?gnum=1745

If that doesn't work, try looking at the gallery called "Chestnut King Ranch". Hopefully the pics will give you an idea of how the tonnea looks on the supercab. I like it a lot. It changes the whole appearance of the truck.

I'm thinking about a chrome grille guard. Anyone got any opinions; good or bad.

Thanks -

 

Damn good looking truck there Chestnut!
