Yes, you are correct Scott, but the option 59Q to add LED headlamps, and taillamps is no longer an option after 2022 according to the order guides. I think my original statement was pretty close, that starting in 2023, the LED taillamps was dropped as an option even when the truck is equipped with LED headlamps and every other light being LED, but not the taillamps which seems stupid to me. Below screen are some of the options for 2022. Starting in 2023 up to 2025, that option is no longer listed or available. Ending in 2022, order code 59Q was available on XL, XLT and Lariat under trailer towing package and with KR, Platinum and Limited so that makes sense now why you have them and my 2022 KR must also have them and is what I thought but never verified.

You may be right, I was only going by what Ford publishes in the Super Duty order guides, I have not verified on my 2022 King Ranch if the taillamps are incandescent or LED, see screen shots attached from 2022 Super Duty order guide.

As of Monday night, my King Ranch F350 order now shows as in production, a week ahead of schedule. My dealer emailed me the window sticker despite not being available to the public on the order tracking website. I'd assume the truck is built by now and it's going offsite for 5th wheel prep package and spray in bed liner next. Dealer says it should arrive in about three weeks, train then transporter to dealer lot. 2025 KR Window Sticker.pdf

Thanks Firedog, I rotated the picture for you...Looks really good, I still can't believe you had to wait 3 years to get the truck, that is just crazy. Did you ever find out what part or parts were holding up the build?

Hello Firedog, Do you have pictures of the new F450? Pictures would be nice to see after you waited three years to receive it, it's a King Ranch right? BTW, did you pay the same amount as when you placed your order in 2022 or did they make you pay 2025 MY prices? Thanks, Toolman...

Rob, I think Fordmantpw is correct, King Ranch has everything that is standard on Lariat plus what is shown in attached screen shots from the 2025 order guide. To get full LED taillamps and projector LED headlamps, he is again correct that is only available on Platinum trim. I was disappointed that I discovered that KR doesn't include the LED taillamps and I thought it was in earlier models, but I was mistaken, I'm almost certain it's always only been available for Platinum. I wanted Platinum with certain wheels, but you can't build a platinum how you want, only the way they allow, which is annoying. I wanted the black leather seats but the wheels that go with Platinum Plus, can't build it that way. So the next option was to build a King Ranch and that's what I did. I was also disappointed about the tailgate down camera delete, but I assume it was too problematic and is very vulnerable to damage, top of tailgate on a pickup is an abused surface outside the truck bed itself. But I'm not sure why they deleted it but there must be a good reason, at least for Ford and the bean counters. Toolman

All, I have good news on my 2025 KR build that I detailed in an earlier post on this thread. I put in the order with my local Ford dealer last Saturday and got an email and text message from Ford this morning that the truck is scheduled to be built the week of March 3rd, and I was also provided my VIN. So my truck order was placed just 5 days ago, and it's already been scheduled and VIN assigned, this is blowing my mind. Maybe I should also buy a lottery ticket? Dealer told me to expect an 8-10 week delay for the build, even the message from Ford last Saturday stated they'd update me in about 45 days. So I guess if they do build it in the week of March 3rd, it will be about 7 weeks from the time I placed the order assuming they don't push the build date out several times like on my 2022 KR. It took about 4 months for me to receive my 2022 KR, ordered in late December 2021 and picked up a dealer around middle of April 2022 and I was okay with that wait. Toolman

Congrats Firedog, you have waited longer than anyone I know in my life for any truck, I hope it is exactly what you want for all that time to wait.

Thanks for the tip Firedog...

Firedog, Can you post the link how to see backlog? Thanks...

All, I just ordered a 2025 F350 SRW short bed King Ranch 6.7L diesel HO in Ruby Red with Darkened Bronze Lower Trim, build price was $101,045 but I get X plan and $2500 rebate. I got a confirmation from Ford they received the order from my dealer. They claim I should hear from them about scheduling within 45 days. I plan to trade my 2022 F350 SRW short bed King Ranch 6.7L diesel SO in Antimatter Blue to same dealer but I'm also considering selling on open market, can probably get another $7k on the sale vs. dealer only offered my $65k with 30k miles, perfect condition. Dealer is stating 8-10 weeks delivery, we'll see about that but I'm hopeful. The only upgrades I'll do right away is to remove the snow-plow air dam and replace with a Tremor low profile air dam. I'll keep updates on this page. Firedog, I hope you get your truck this time around, your wait is something not very many folks could live with, and you should definitely celebrate when that beast arrives. Maybe post a picture from your build link on what your truck is supposed to look like? Thanks, Toolman

All, I have confirmed that the ride height for 2025 appears to be exact same as 2024 at least without taking measurements, the Ford build site images are deceptive and to me look like what a 4x2 ride height would look like. Also, the KR interior pictures on Ford's build site are also not representative of the actual look and I really like the new KR interior, it's nicer than my 2022 KR. I had the FOB and got to sit in the 2024 in the pictures, I started it and played with the controls, cameras, HUD and other features, very nice upgrades from my 2022 IMHO. Attached are pictures I took at a local dealer for a 2024 F350 SRW 4x4 King Ranch and I saw a 2025 Lariat that has the same ride height, so I have answered my own questions except I didn't snap a picture of the 2025 Lariat, sorry about that, enjoy. Also, I have learned that the 2024 and 2025 now offer lane centering which I guess is similar to Blue Cruise but maybe not as elaborate. Any comments out there on lane centering ability on Super Duty from your experience? Toolman

All, I think I have finally answered my own question, I reviewed Super Duty order guides all the way back to 2017, it appears that only Platinum and Limited offered the LED Taillamps and I was mistaken that they changed in 2023. I did own a 2017 Platinum F350 SRW 4x4 and I guess I had assumed that when you ordered LED headlamps that it included taillamps, but that was an incorrect assumption. I always thought my 2022 KR SRW F350 4x4 had LED Taillamps but never tried to verify. I guess this thread will die on an island with no other comments from BOF members but that's okay, I see many threads that have had similar fates. Toolman

Hello All, I have a 2022 4x4 KR SRW Crew Cab and according to the order guide, it's equipped with LED taillamps and I'm almost certain I have them. However, I noticed on both 2024 and 2025 order guides, LED taillamps are not included on King Ranch, but are standard on Platinum. Has anyone else noticed this? It seems to have started in 2024 order guide to only offer LED taillamps on Platinum and Limited and for 2025 only on Platinum since they deleted the Limited trim. Hard to believe this but according to the order guides after 2023 MY, it's true. Can any 2024 MY owners confirm this and also what are your thoughts on this? Is it maybe due to trailer light issues when you have LED taillamps along with incandescent trailer lights and maybe that interferes with turn signal electronic drivers or some similar reason? IMHO, it seems to be a little cheap on Ford to make every light bulb on SuperDuty exterior LED type except the taillamps. If there was an issue with the LED taillamps, seems like it would still be a problem with Platinum trim, I'm going out on a limb as saying it's a cost reduction slipped in hoping to fly under the radar. BTW, I did a quick search for this topic and didn't find a discussion about this specific issue, hence the new topic. If this is an old topic and I missed it in my search, my apologies. Thanks, Toolman
