My new 2024 King Ranch

[Beaux]

Well back in late April a teenager pulled out in front of the wife and my 22 Lightning Platinum got totaled after 7 long weeks. After a lot of thought I decided to replace it with a 24 King Ranch Powerboost. I couldn’t stomach getting another Lightning with less features and having another depreciate so much. Especially with the second generation on the horizon. I was one of the first owners of a Lightning and I will miss it.

Some observations. This 24 powerboost seems smoother than my 21 model.

Blue cruise 1.2 is a million times better than 1. However I hate the new pricing structure. I miss 3 years up front with a $600 renewal for 3 more. 3 month trial and $75 a month after? This is crazy. Ford needs to make this more reasonable.

This is my first King Ranch. I got it because it was a lot cheaper than the Platinum 702a for whatever reason. Wow am I glad I did. This interior is the best I have ever owned. Better than my 21 Limited and 22 Lightning Platinum.

I’m looking forward to enjoying my new truck.

Great looking
One thing people don't realize is kr seats are 100% leather , not just seating areas
Platinum are not.
Seems weird.
Plus kr interior is killer and full of easter eggs

Beaux, I think you're gonna love it.

Slight differences between yours & mine (PB vs ECO, 5.5 vs 6.5, Standard vs Tow Mirrors). If you've not already, I highly expect you will be getting compliments on the color scheme. (The wife & I refer to it as a Shotgun & Saddle look.)

Congratulations!

Ford, where is my truck after 220 days of waiting? I've given up a d now looking at a GMC.

Beautiful truck, congratulations! I can hardly wait for mine to arrive.

Thank you, sounds like you’ve got a great truck also! I’m loving it so far. It was between this and black. I’m glad I went with the grey.

Congrats on the KR! Sadly I had to downsize from a dually KR to the 150 PB, but hey, it's still a KR! We should start a club or something ...

I love your color combo!!

The Bronze bottom with the bronze in the wheels makes it great.

I wish they offered black for the bottom trim also.

I noticed as well that the King Ranch pricing is better than the Platinum. Now that you can only get chrome with a 6.5 bed in (XLT and Lariat), I am considering a KR. Not a fan of chrome bumpers. If you don't mind telling me, What is your payload?

It’s 1,375.
