It's just an availability issue. The Lariat used to come with 9.6 kw standard, but in 2024 it's now optional and costs extra. So you don't have as many options and less availability. If you go to the ford website and search you'll see much less availability for the color you might want. i.e...

I meant the 9.6 kw option, all lightnings come with at least 2.4 kw
