Any regrets buying an XLT over a Lariat???

[WolfgangVTS]

Leather... Not so much... LED Lights... Yes ..
Folding mirrors... Not so much... Something else to mechanically break future... Heated seats...sure...but where is the cooling option...a man for all seasons I am...

Cooling seats would have been nice. My cheeks have never experienced that comfort but I hear its amazing.

I traded in a 2017 Ford Taurus Limited for my Ranger, and it had the heated/cooling seats, leather interior, electronic folding mirrors, a really cool electric sliding rear shade that I could deploy with the touch of a button and so much more....and I'd gladly give it all up again for my XLT Ranger. Now that's not to say that I don't miss those creature comforts, because I do(those air cooled seats are something else man )...but I love everything else about my Ranger, for what it is and what I feel when I drive it, more than anything that I gave up to own it.

I use to have a 90s Taurus with the worst transmission. It was like riding a bull out of the gates when you would hit second gear ?. Good times in that car. I do love the Ranger though, just enough pep and comfort for me. I don't see myself wanting to sell it ever.

It was called a Taurus for a reason ??

The only way I am getting rid of my Ranger is trading it in for a 6G Ranger. And even that depends on what options are available and what trim levels North America gets.

I love this thread as much as I love my XLT.

Mostly because it’s directed at XLT owners to see if they have any misgivings about their choice and it turns out that it’s Lariat owners who are flocking to the thread to tell everyone what they love about their Lariats. ?

As I now have used my 2022 Ranger as a truck ... Loading stuff... Just unlocking the tailgate and letting it fall hard to cable stop doesn't sound good ... Too light of metal... felt it was going to have a fit if it could talk...Not as good as my F150's... So definitely need the tailgate strut damper....

I really like mine.

How can you tell if some one is a crossfitter?

Wait a second, and they'll tell you.

How can you tell if someone is a damper lover?

Wait a second and they will show you, while telling you...

Reminded me of...

Just tried to kill a cockroach with Axe body spray.

Now it's name is Brett and it won't shut up about crossfit...

Probably my biggest gripe with the truck is the thin metal. I put a tiny ding in the side just leaning over putting a bag of mulch in the bed. Not sure how they tested its durability, my guess is they did no tests.

Appears... Nothing like a good Damper in your life I guess..

Bummer, they looked pretty beefy from afar. Don't think I've seen one up close.

My Nissan Titan truck was 15 years ago...
Monster gas engine though for it's day....

I had a Titan loaner for a week while my 2018 Frontier was in the shop (again).

And there I was thinking the Frontier MPG was bad. Whoa.

Same for me once when my Frontier money pit was in the shop... again. One thing I did enjoy about the Titan was planting my foot and hearing that V8. Needless to say my mileage that week was abysmal.
