XLT vs Lariat Lighting X range

[WFordKid]

If you similarly equip the XLT and Lariat Lighting they are +- $3,000 difference. Ok..let's see what we can find out what you get for the $3,000. This is what i have found so far:

Lariat includes - which the XLT doesn't:
Leather seats
Front seat memory?
Vented front seats
B&O Sound system
Blue cruise
Phone used as a key
Partitioned rear lockable storage
Power tilt/telescoping steering column with memory
Rear power sliding window
Sunroof
Rear heated seats
sync 4a
Elec folding side mirrors?
I don't see where the Lariat comes with the tail gate step - but i am sure it is there (xlt comes with the step)
Will the XLT X range come with the 15.5 touch screen?

Any other differences you guys can find.

For the above the add'l $3k seems to be worth it.

Your first three points cover the difference already. It’s an easy decision for most and it’s reflected in the amount of Lariats Ford is deciding to build compared to XLT.

It's been said many times before that the ER Lariat and ER XLT price difference makes no sense. If you're going to spend 75k+ on a truck, the additional $3k for the Lariat features are a no brainer.

Big differences are Moonroof, Ventilated Leather Seats, and the larger touchscreen. I guess if you were adament about no moonroof or no leathers seats or the hideous larger touschreen, then that'd force you to a XLT ER instead.

I think that's a good list and those features would definitely be worth $3000 to me. If you haven't seen it already, I made a spreadsheet that lets you assign 'values' to all the options/differences (that I could find) between the available trims. It'll let you get a pretty exact figure for how much "value" you think the features of each trim give you. (Link to the spreadsheet thread at the end of this post.)

I'm pretty sure at least one official document says the $9500 XLT package includes ventilated seats (even though they're cloth), so that's one thing that I think you should take off your list. Though, even if it IS written down somewhere, that doesn't mean it's correct.

For comparing trims, personally, I'd trust the recently "leaked" 146-page "eSourceBook" the most. I've updated my copy of the spreadsheet a bit based on the eSourceBook, but haven't uploaded it yet. Your post here has inspired me to get back on it. I'll try to upload a new, updated version in the next couple/few hours...

I'm pretty sure all XLTs come with the 12" screen (which could be a good thing for some people because they will also have more physical controls).

Yes - no 15” screen in XLTs.

Great list.
I cam up with $3,380 difference (with Tow Technology and Lockable storage added).
- The Lariat gives you memory on the adjustable foot pedals.
- The partitioned lockable storage can be added on the XLT for $225, equating the Lariat.
- The Co-Pilot 360 Assist 2.0 comes with the XLT 312A package but is removed when you add the tow technology package. The Lariat give you both Tow Technology and Co-Pilot 2.0.
- Wireless Charging Pad on the Lariat.
- Two more paint colors to choose from on the Lariat. Smoked Quartz and Star White (both for extra $$)

- The seating upgrade on the XLT 312A package has conflicting info in the B&P: It would appear you get both memory and ventilation.
312A package info: This is also the same info in the Order Guide.

But when you select the 312A package the the 10 way power adjustable seat option is checked and it has a specific call out for the 312A package. Including memory and ventilation.

Great info, I think that the XLT may come with more items, just not spelled out to make the Lariat more attractive. I did go with the Lariat as at the end of the day both trucks are expensive and when it becomes operational Blue Cruise will be cool to test.

Today, XLT online configurator w 312A selected not showing memory and ventilation for 10 way seats, which is strange as 8 way seats show memory. Very confusing.
And why would adding Tow Technology wipe out the adaptive cruise control? That does not make sense (but yes, that is what happens in the online builder without any warning when selecting 312A first and Tow Tech second!). That better not be true. I need to call customer service to check that. Adaptive cruise is one of the main reasons I went for the 312A on an XLT.

8 way seats, w/o 312A option:

-Marketing customer service 800-334-4375 will pass the conflict in the Build & Price online configurator, between the XLT 312A package & Tow Technology that seems to remove the Co-Pilot 360 Assist 2.0 adaptive cruise control, up to her manager. I doubt anything will change as they ignored my same survey point months ago.
-The question of 8-way showing memory somewhere, and the 10-way having memory & ventilation was kicked back to my dealer to pursue. That will be fun, not. Maybe an XLT owner who has taken delivery will have the answer soon.

I thought I read somewhere that it's just a configurator error and that XLT+tow still gives you adaptive cruise. Surprised they haven't fixed it, though - maybe they're just waiting for the 2023 cycle to start to have it fixed.

As a 21 F150 Platinum Owner With the 12" screen and buttons and a MachnE with the 15.5" screen no buttons. We prefer the 12" and buttons and use both weekly. I wish we would have had a choice on the Lightning.
