Platinum Interior Question

[daemonic3]

That’s a cool feature knowing the headlights move in all directions. I was just assuming only left and right while negotiating turns.

Oh wow, based on tilt/pitch going over humps the headlights will adjust? That would be great as there are some unlit highways I take for fun sometimes and rolling moguls make night visibility tough!

I believe the up down feature is only for self leveling with a load. Up down over hills would be cool but probably not feasible or problematic resulting is a potentially dangerous/blinding condition.

We too ordered the Carmela Interior as my wife also is a bit tired of black interiors. I too would have opted for the KR package if I could have gotten painted bumpers/Minimal chrome as the interior looks very nice.

No word yet on the delivery time frame.

I actually *prefer* the non-chrome King Ranch! Honestly, I love the painted bumper and really love those bronze rims. But the wife loves the chrome and the KR badge on the tailgate so I lose that one. But I'm happy to switch to KR as that interior is amazing.

What do you mean you can't get painted bumpers/minimal chrome? It is $2k cheaper and looks awesome. Do you mean body color? Here is my KR build with regular vs chrome. I love the non-chrome 601A rims, that bronze goes well with the earthy tones:

The non-chrome KR is very sharp. Those wheels with some meatier tires....wow!

I spec'd a KR (non-chrome) and a Platinum exactly the same way. KR was $76,765 and the Platinum was $76,310. For the money, I like the Platinum better.

Correct, body colored bumpers and satin finish on the Platinum is a little more to my liking. Although the Mag Chloride of our winters still attack those finishes as well.

I have ordered the Iconic Silver.

KR is an awesome set up though... it was a tough decision.

If I could have gotten guard with the KR high package I would have absolutely gone that way. But since not I'm between a Platinum or Limited in antimatter blue.
Man the tough decisions we have to make. ?

I ordered a Limited in AMB.

As many F-150's as Ford builds/sells, I have to believe that the plant-specific items (except perhaps PB) will go away by mid-year. Once supply chain issues subside and production is rolling full steam, I could certainly see Guard being offered on KR 601A. The F-150 Source Book says that Guard is not compatible with the KR Chrome Appearance Package, but does not say anything about 601A. I think the only hang-up is Guard in KC and power running boards in Detroit. They may not add Guard in Detroit, but PRB should be integrated into production at KC.

Has anyone who ordered the carmelo interior received a VIN or build-date yet? I ordered a carmelo interior AND a powerboost engine (3 months ago) - no VIN or build date assigned yet. Not sure if it's because one of these two items is in short supply, or my dealer has that many retail orders where mine is lower on the priority list.....

I received word yesterday my Platinum Powerboost with Carmelo interior with work surface has been scheduled for build on 12/14. No VIN yet, but my dealer said he should get it by Friday. It's a stock order.

Should I be asking my dealer to classify my order as a 'Stock Order'?
Not sure how they did it but I am guessing that it is more along the lines of a 'customer specific order'. Thank you!

I don’t know if it’ll make a difference now that OKTB is happening soon. But it can’t hurt to ask your dealer....specifically talk to the inventory manager.

I should know this but what does OKTB stand for? I thought it had something to do with the release of the EPA fuel efficiency but that has come and gone.

OK To Buy - I think

Like Roger said, it's the term Ford uses to signify dealers can submit retail orders/special orders. In other words, it's ok for them to submit customer's build requests beyond their stock orders.
