Platinum and King Ranch book out within 150.00 of each other. The Lariat about 4000.00 less for basicly the same truck with more options. The Limited is not an option as way to much money and my wife and I don't like the colors. My Delema is I am not really keen on the K-R interior colors for 17. I am stuck going with black interior with a Platinum ( not my favorite ) but I do like the grill better than the K-R. If I go with a lariat I get the Camel interior that I like except a black dash and the seats are not as nice but resell will be lower due to being a Lariat.
I need to order soon so if you have any input please let me know. I really would like to hear from people who faced the same delema and what they ended up getting. This is a major decision and that is partially why I am going dually in case we upgrade to a heavier unit.
Thanks in advance

For what it's worth we bought a new Lariat DRW long bed with factory 5th wheel prep last month. We felt it has everything you need to tow with the options available and still have the leather, etc. We couldn't justify the KR or above models because of the price differences with what you get. We also found out that the KR leather, as nice as it looks, scratches and tears much easier. We witnessed that first hand on one we looked at (big scratch on the driver's side), which is consistent with many complaints we have seen online. I'm sure many who have the KR will disagree and that's o.k. We are very satisfied with what we got for the money.
