It has selectable drive modes for different terrains and jobs including slippery, tow/haul, and Eco mode.
INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR
The King Ranch features a luxurious, premium leather interior. The Kingsville antique effect leather interior is rugged and stylish. It has custom stitching with the King Ranch logo all about the cabin. Paired with its genuine wood accent trims, the King Ranch is nothing short of classy and gives a durable finish inside the cabin to match its rugged exterior. To match that cool look, the cabin of the 2023 King Ranch features dual-zone automatic climate control for added interior comfort. It lets the driver and front passenger set their air conditioning temperature settings independently. Standard features for the King Ranch on the exterior include onboard scales and a smart hitch as well as a pro trailer assist function.
ADDED FUNCTIONS
