Lariat was the only way to go for me. Wish it had more like my F-150 Lariat. Life’s to short to not enjoy

No grown woman will sit back there

Why the hell would I try to put my wife in the back seat?

Yeah, I wish they had options for more stuff in the ranger. I'd love some cooled & memory seats and some of the other goodies from the high trim f150s, just not enough to buy a truck that big.

Not so! I have had two adults in the back seat for over 500 miles without complaint.
In fact I got compliments.
Shorter trips are certainly ok even for the rather rotund!
The only problem is that the driver should always operate the doors to avoid unnecessary complications. But then a gentleman always opens the door for a lady... Right?

That's some handy information right there.

I have no regrets buying an STX over an XLT. I didn't want all the extra electronic gizmos.
I need A/C, cruise, 4wd, and not much else.
Got a Supercab, I had two Sport Tracs previously which are the same size as a Supercrew Ranger but my kids are grown and gone now, I don't need a full back seat, and I'd rather have a longer bed.

Actually my Lariat has things like the perimeter alarm that I am not sure is on the xlt and other features that really cut the cost to insure down.

My XL w/STX package has perimeter alarm.

Yessir

Exactly like my 2019 XLT.

Your XLT 302A has power folding mirrors?? As in your push the button on the dash and the whole mirror folds in???

Mine does as well 2019 model year

I have an XLT. I bought the truck as a "this is coming off the truck today, and you can buy it".

Things I wish I had:

1. ACC
2. Push button start
3. LED headlights.

I put LED bulbs in the XLT housings and they work great, but factory LEDs would have been better. I knew I wanted push button, but I bought my truck in April 2020 and... I couldn't be choosy. I got too good a deal on it, with a friend getting X-Plan pricing. I didn't know about LED lights because I didn't do a ton of research outside of Ranger vs. Tacoma vs. Colorado.

I bought an XLT off the lot, Didn't want to wait another 9 months for a new vehicle. If I were building, I'd have gone Lariat (dropped sport/black appearance package). Lights, and leather were big ticket items for me. Are heated mirrors/seats also standard on lariat? I have a SCAB so not sure the audio is really any different.

just replacing leather alone with basic katzkin covers the price difference.

I miss not having a good ole fashioned analog tachometer in my Lariat. The leather I could live without. But I just could never get used to those XLT headlights, hence my decision.
