I'm going to cross-post this in the 6G forum as well, but thought I'd start here first.
For those who've replaced (or added to) a 5G with a 6G, what did you gain, and what did you lose?
I'm thinking about replacing my 2020 Lariat SuperCab with a 6G, but it's hard to tell just by content descriptions exactly what I'd be gaining or giving up. I know I'd lose a foot of bed length to start, but it looks like that will be workable. There's the difference in transmissions, but mine has shown no problems in its 42K miles.
Other options are less clear. I know I'd opt for the Lariat, so I'd gain things like:
Memory settings, which apparently only apply to the rearview mirrors (kind of limits the value for me)
Heated steering wheel (top of my list for wanting an upgrade)
Adaptive cruise and lane keeping assist (my highway time is much less than it used to be, but there will always be some)
Larger infotainment screen integrated with Sync (I have a Linkswell now but would prefer the OEM solution)
Integrated box step (also high on my list of wants)
What else is there?
On the losses side, there's the bed length, but what else?
- It sounds like the folding mirrors have gone away, at least on some trim levels.
- The leather seats aren't actually leather anymore
If I go for the 6G, is one model year better than another in terms of content? It looks like there are some low-mileage 2024-2025's out there that would save a good chunk of change versus new.
My 2020 is paid for, so I want to understand as much as possible, what value I'd get for taking on a new car payment.

. Sounds like all Ford transmissions are a crap shoot these days.
