Impoverished XL owner here with no regerts.

Nobody wants to steal my lights.. I can mount whatever t.f I want to my front bumper and not mess with any sensors.. and I'm way too manly to need any foofy terrain modes.

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???
I much prefer the XLT for a lot of reasons, over the Lariat. The cloth heated seats get a lot warmer in the XLT, and heat up fast. I like the analog guages with the center screen, as it looks less cluttered and more like a truck than a car. I have the 301A package which doesn't have GPS built in but it has android auto which does navigation and media playback, among other things. I have rear backup sensors and blind spot detection, don't really need anything else. The leather interior is a bit over rated in my opinion.

I have a 22 Tremor XLT 302a with tech package. Has everything that I want. Maybe the only thing that the Lariat has that would be desirable would be the power folding mirrors. But not for the extra $3000.

Power folding back seat anyone...
Am I missing something??? No pull tab on driver's side to lower rear seat???
Do I have to get out of my truck on the driver's side.... Walk around to the passenger side rear door... open the door and reach in to grab the cloth pull tab to pull down the rear seat?? WTF???

My XLT has power folding mirrors. They are not automatic, but fold with the push of a button

You're definitely missing something.

Everytime I've folded my rear seats has been from the drivers side.

#metoo. But I have a long reach. And I am also missing something. The tab on the driver'side.
Perhaps you guys are right. In any event, it's simple enough to do from the drivers side.

I wish the turn-signal indicators in the side view mirrors were available in XLT.

Should be standard IMHO.
