F150 XLT vs Lariat - Price and Feature Differences! 

S

Nathan T headlightrevolution.com get some easy replace

Hell of a lot cheaper tho to fix

Absolutely agree with you. For 50,000 box it should have led light and push button.

It's not that serious

It's not just the F150, I got a 2018 300A Ford Edge Titanium and it doesn't have remote start, BLIS, or LED headlights. Ford is always locking those options away behind packages whether it be a $38,000 SUV or a $60,000 truck.

This is exactly the kind of truck I've been looking at 👍🏽 hopefully in a couple of years I can find me a newer-ish one for the same price

Where? Lol I can’t find any... XLTs EVERYWHERE, no Lariats to be found.

@@codyv8737 same dude, and half of these xlt's are damn near what dealers are selling them for brand new after the rebates.

@@TrashPanda2801 exactly. You get this price with 0% interest 😂🤣.

I don't rate your opinion since you have never tried anything else.

@@philmcclenaghan7056 awesome !

Can't rely on the orange clown to do anything but line his pockets.

Jim Meyer I wonder why the political divide is so prevalent in this country

Yes it was but they weren't needed... Lol.

@@jimmeyer4822 bigot

Ford, GM, Tesla make ventilators & other covid necessities bcuz they are being subsidized & car factories are shut down & less people buying cars....Car companies exist for profit & nothing else.

fair however infotainment.com sells the lariat clusters for xlt and lower trims

Just bought one and same here!!

How much did you pay for it ?

@@frankyee3911 2018 lariat 3.5 eb 65k currently pushing 40k miles. About 10k miles a year not bad

jds bot Lariat = better

Same deal here bro. Was Chevy all the way but picked up a Lariat today. That moonroof and floor transmission sold me on it.

Me to I was a Ram man.Test drove the Lariat. Had to have one.

I have a 2016 lariat and its has all the same features as this one. Kinda disappointing

Platinum is the one I got. Love it.

@@xRadio2006x floor transmission? What in the world does floor transmission mean?

No room for all the whores!

They're are excellent salesmen not in the sense they try to sell you everything under the sun but that they are very informative and genuinely seem to care about customers and even non customers

@@energetictomato9409 Good on you, I'm considering buying a 2012

@@energetictomato9409 From them because of the no pressure, informed salesmen!

I'd love to know where or how you got a year-old lariat with 502A for 40k unless it had 50,000 miles on it

I test drove a lariat and I was not impressed with the cheap/chintzy feeling "leather" trimmed plastic floor shifter, the leather quality was very poor, and some of the features were a bit much (the adaptive CC, lane keeping, etc). I ended up getting a "souped up" XL with $9,080 of added options. Fx4, 5.0 V8, 3.73, trailer tow package, STX and Sport appearance packages, rear camera, tech package, etc. It has the column shifter which is amazing. Why would anyone want to take up a lot of space in their center console with the shifter when you can just stick it behind the wheel and then have tons of console space? I have no idea why the floor shifter is an "upgrade". Imo it's a downgrade. Same with the "leather". The quality is terrible, it peels after a couple years (I don't even think it's full grain solid leather btw) is super expensive, etc. I got Katzkin leather for 1k (self install) but the leather quality is much better than Fords. Why pay twice as much for shittier quality leather? Easy I guess? I added a stubby radio antenna (very short) for 27.81, I got a keypad entry code thing for 67.15 (funny enough, it's only like $45 to add factory), a Tyger T3 bed cover for $259.00, LED fogs for $56.99, and an AC power inverter (to charge tools and 110-120 wall outlet items). Oh and the Ford T plate tie down things for the bed (12.99 for 4) and bedrail retractable hooks (4 very high quality solid stainless steel for $45). All that stuff is so much cheaper than getting it from the factory (except the pin pad is 20 bucks extra) and most of it is higher quality, too. Very quick and easy installs. The only thing I wish I had was the push button start, that can't really be added, and I miss it (had it in my other car). But, that's not worth 10-20k more just for that one feature. Most of that crap I don't need or want. The sensors would be ok, but I don't really need them. The lane keeping crap I have on another car and f***** hate it. Got the factory camera option which was desperately needed for driving this boat for only 250. The 40/console/40 is amazing. Huge and spacious, so much room to throw tools, phone, drinks, whatever there. Console/steering column shifter is the best. The sport cloth was pretty nice, but the Katzkin is amazing. And what's great about the XL is the floors are that vinyl/rubber material so cleaning is out is a breeze. Fantastic truck. My lugs were those crappy ford factory ones that got all bloated and wouldn't work with the right size bar anymore so I tore them off and added Gorilla lugs off ebay for I think $50. A couple of forscan tweaks and good to go. I guess my advice would be: DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Figure out what features you really want, and what you don't really care about. Figure out what can be easily added and what is a pain/nearly impossible to add (like push to start). Underbuy if you can easily upgrade. The aftermarket parts are often times much better quality. Fords spray in liner costs the same as Linex, but linex is way better. My $259 T3 bed cover is fantastic, why pay a thousand? The XL and the XLT are going to be your best deal by far. Get the appearance packages you want because you can't feasibly change out your bumper/paint/etc. I'm VERY happy with my truck.

@@user-nh3gu1ge3d good gosh no need to tell your whole life story in a yt comment lol

@@Chris-bz9pg lmao fair enough

Ok cool?

A buddy blew his tranny on this engine after 150,000km. How do you foresee the longevity of this engine?

You should check out PaxPower ( v8Raptor.com ). They take a regular F-150 (XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum) with 5.0L V8 engine and turn it into a complete Raptor...suspension, body...hood, grille, front fenders and rear bed sides, upfitter switches, decals, etc........OR.....add Raptor suspension or very expensive aftermarket Icon Raptor type suspension, Whipple Supercharger, nice lighted fender flares, widen the rear axle......and NO Raptor body parts or decals......for way less money......but much more performance than an OEM factory Raptor.....not to mention the "cool factor".....a somewhat regular looking F-150...incognito....a "wolf in sheep's clothing" that will run circles around the OEM factory Raptor on pavement and off-road.

Two years later, would you recommend getting an XLT? I’m looking into getting one

@@zachvinson1072 I no longer have that truck. I have nothing negative to say about it but could not give you a good 2 year review. Have a great one bro.

@@Pierre.P4 thanks man

gus Paca I got a 2011 XLT and I love this truck

@Brian Waller maybe he paid cash. 🤷‍♂️

Brian Waller some people aren’t poor like you 😂😂

I jus did the same

Minyong Kim and king ranch plz

@@lauranyc4966 Oh. good point! I agree.

My brother does that,he is your brother from another mother.

Lol

The king ranch is the king of all of the trim levels.

The packages pretty much run the same price. And just because you wouldn't, doesn't mean someone else wouldn't. I think almost all the chrome package lariats look like an old man's pawpaw truck. I sold plenty of them to old pawpaws in the Ford part of.my career as well.

Black is in and Chrome is out! Although not everyone, many people think modern trucks look much better with black accents instead of chrome accents. To them.....the extra cost is worth it.....so they don't have to pay more to have it done in the aftermarket. That said.....the manufacturer's are making out like bandits on the Sport and Blackout Packages. It is noticeably more expensive than it should be.

How much you pay after 10k off the msrp

Definitely worth the extra for the Lariat. Another couple things for me above the XLT he didn't mention. The security system has motion sensors that work for you even when windows are open. The badass headlights! The dual climate control. And the luxary of the keyless everything is truly amazing, even remote tailgate...I love my 2018 Lariat

866 miles on 1 tank(36).

You can add a aftermarket remote start system

@@egladmansr1 Push button start, not remote start. Remote start is useless, imo. I want the intelligent entry and push button start so I never have to take my key out of my pocket. The remote start you still have to take the key out, put it in the ignition, etc. Seems like a useless "feature" to me.

Wade Preston I was thinking the same thing.

The exterior body lines are lame.....way more plain on the 2021 F-150 compared to the 2015 thru 2020 F-150. I sure hope Ford does not have a similar plan for the Super Duty trucks in 2022 or 2023.

Frankie from GTOWN I went from a 2015 501A to a 2019 502A with deployable running boards. Love the half dozen extras.

mbg238 8k more tho

WAIT A FEW & WHEN FORD FILES CHAPT 11 THEM JUNKERS WILL BE CHEAP!!!!!!

Happy 4 U, I'm calling them today to help me find a 2012, cab & a half , 4by4, X L T, 1 owner, no accidents in mint condition! I've done tons of research & there informitive salesmen& lack of pressure sold me on buying from them, rather then buying direct! I will fly there from Mexico & drive it to my new half acre of land I just bought in the Florida Panhandle! I'm a TOYOTA man but I can buy the 2012 4by4, XLT & still have like an extra $3000 left over to put in front airlockers, Leer Cap, steeel bumper plus add some awesome lights for the same price of the TOYOTA TACOMA OR TUNDRA! IT'S a no brainer for me! Good luck with that beautiful new truck you just bought! Blessings

The 5.0L V8 would be a better engine choice instead of any V6. Check out PaxPower (Paxpower.com or V8Raptor.com) for upgrades to a F-150 truck. PaxPower can and does install OEM factory Raptor suspension or higher better quality Icon suspension to a regular F-150 for about $7,000.00. Moreover, you can add a Whipple Supercharger to the 5.0L V8 engine. Then....you would have a F-150 with better than Raptor performance...both on pavement and off-road.....a truck incognito...a "wolf in sheep's clothing"......way more cool than a OEM factory Raptor.

Cuanto costara la 2020 platinum

I went with the Lariat and don't regret it. Love the amenities.

Can’t get a heated steering wheel in an xlt but you can the sunroof you can get as an option.

My XLT has a panoramic
