I've been seeing one around here lately. It's always with an F-150 with a "camo" grille. Finally was kind of able to get a picture, not very good though, trying to drive and fumble around with my phone. Not very impressive in person, tailgate looks dumb. The one thing that caught me off guard was that it is a dually.

And the Ford dealer said that I couldnt even order one until august and it would be October before I could get it. :doh: The salesman told me that he hasnt even heard of a platinum super duty, I had to talk to someone who kinda knew what they were talking about.

I really want to see what the kodiak brown looks like in person. My guess is, its going to be REAL sharp once somebody deletes all the bobo crap off it.

I think the grill looks better then the normal ones... It kind of breaks up those big bars..

I like it all BUT the tailgate... Do not realy care for that!! BUT would be a easy fix!!

maybe I am interpreting it wrong, I read it as having the option of two tone or not.

If I get bored, Ill call a friend and verify which way they will be available.

Got this from another forum:

A partial OKTB has been achieved for 2013 MY Super Duty excluding King Ranch, Lariat and Platinum orders. Retail orders will begin scheduling on Thursday, November 1. Once we have achieved the "OK to buy" for King Ranch, Lariat & and Platinum a separate announcement will be communicated.

Stock or retail orders with the Platinum Edition Pkg (17L) will not be selected for scheduling until January Production.
