Want lower payload, fake plastic hook vent, higher price, and more complexity, then the platinum is for YOU! If you tow, you need 1,800 pound payload or more.
You also forgot to mention that you can't get the 5.0L in any trim above the Lariat. That was as deal breaker for me after having two different 3.5 EcoBoost failures in our family that required new engines and new turbos. Forced me to build a loaded 502A and that's as high as I could go. Not great marketing by Ford there. Some people want the V8 over the smaller boosted options.
I find it astounding too that the top end stereo is an "option" on the freaking platinum model. What a joke. And why in the hell is there a $90 charge for the 3.5 Ecochoke on the Lariat? Talk about nickel and diming. And the wheel well liners on the platinum were another $200, they didn't come with it.
I guess you didn't notice completely different hoods? The Platinum gets the Tremor hood that is straight across the bottom leading edge. The Lariat hood line at grille contours to the grill. One day, you might become an auto journalist, but maybe not.
Yep doesnt know to Say Tow Hooks ...Also on the Tail gates didnt spot the Built in step i spotted it because i have 3 vehicles with that option..Didnt know to say Wheel well Liner and he had to finger everything up.. They should make him Totally Wipe them down inside and out...
