Any regrets buying an XLT over a Lariat???

[Synfulz]

You need a key for that? And you have to open your door AND reach in? I just use the remote start.

Haha yes. But my truck won't time out when I am taking my golf cart back. Yes I wouldn't mind remote start. Vehicles are speced a little different here.

Remote start was only in the 302A package.

I believe the (useless) sliding rear window was also a 302A exclusive.

Edit: Found the 2019 Order Guide

But it’s heated! ?

I have found that the heated function on a near vertical rear window that never sees an accumulation of anything is immeasurably handy...

Good feedback everyone. Looks like I may switch to the XLT with 302A and throw in a set of Morimoto XB headlights. Since I'm getting a Tremor there isn't any upgrades I'll be wanting to do so I guess I can throw some money into headlights. I just dread the install process.

I'm assuming the wiring of the DRL could be done through the upfitter switches.

With my truck, I have the xlt 301 and I'm very happy with it. The lighting is perfect and since it has automatic high beams, I'm not struggling to see.

I didn't want leather. I think the cloth seats are more comfortable. That rear window was a joke. You have to get in the back seat to open/close it. Plus it affects your rear view. Not a fan of the push button start. Disliked the dash cluster. Got everything I wanted in my XLT.

So I currently have a 2023 Lariat Tremor with 500A on order. I'm beginning to have second thoughts because of the uncertainty of getting the LED headlights and fog lights. It's pretty much the only reason I ordered the Lariat. And I would hate to have to walk away and start a whole new order. I'm considering dropping my order to an XLT Tremor with 302A. It would save me $1500 which would probably end up being the cost to upgrade to LED headlights after the fact. Not really interested in any of the aftermarket LED headlights. And I would probably go Diode Dynamics for the fogs.

So outside of leather seats, push button start and power folding mirrors, is there anything major I would be losing by dropping to the XLT with the 302A?? I know there are some smaller changes like ambient lighting and body colored exterior bits. But it seems like most everything else standard on the Lariat 500A is included in the XLT 302A

Did any of you regret going with an XLT over a Lariat???

Only not being able to get BO and LED head lamp ala cart...

Depending on your height, not having keys dangling off the column could be a thing. Test drove an XLT and noped right out of that. Would've driven me nuts. Happy with my Lariat.

No heated mirrors is my only gripe. Easily rectified when I get the TIME.

I have the 302a package on my 21 and the only things I wish it had are push button start and the better sound system. These aren't deal breakers but the heated seats were. I'm happy with my XLT!

XLT 302A has heated mirros. Guessing you didn't go with the 302A.

Yeah that would drive me nuts. But I keep my fob separate from my other keys so no dangling.

I have the XLT with 301a / tech, sport and tow packages. With cloth seats I don’t miss heated seats and the cloth is very comfy. I test drove a Lariat and honestly didn’t like the leather seats. I can get in my garage without folding mirrors, so didn’t need that either. This is my 4th XLT truck and it’s the sweet spot for me.

They have been advertising heated mirrors on 302A for years. That was one of the reasons I went with that package. Much to my surprise, they don't actually have heated mirrors.
