There are a number of items I would love to have on the XLT that are on the Lariat... One of them is push button start. Is there anyone that has started any research on this mod?

For me, it was touch door unlock/ push button start and LED headlights. There are also about a dozen more things on the Lariat.
I had an XLT and took the bullet and went with a Lariat.

It would require almost too much to do the mod. It’s located somewhere else entirely from the ignition.
I’m sure it can be done, but I can’t imagine it’s cheap or not labor intensive.
Ergo, Lariat FTW.

Same here - Push button start, LED headlights, keyless entry, turn signals/puddle lights on the mirrors, leather seats and the B&O sound were the biggies for me. I'm really glad I sprung for the Lariat.

I chose the Lariat over the XLT because I like having up to date tech and a great sound system. Never even considered the XLT because....Push-button start.... I don't care for steering column keys dangling hitting my knee...

Originally I looked at the XLT but after looking at the options on the Lariat it was a no-brainer for the price. And being honest I like the dash layout on the Lariat more than the XLT.

Honestly, I thought I would miss having a tach (I figured I would put up the digital tach all the time), but after having it for 4 months, I don't miss it at all. I really like the dual productivity screens on the Lariat although I wish they would make the one on the right a bit more useful.

I agree on the XLT dash layout.
I also like the headlight assembly look of the XLT when lighting is off.

I'd say there really isn't much point in a tach for ANY automatic trans. More of a curiosity than anything. Even with my 5 speed Ranger I didn't really use the tach all that much. It was more for info/reference - I never used it to determine my shift point.
I just thought I'd be more interested in it, but after 4 months, I really don't care about it. I do like to see the gear display, though. That I DO find interesting and useful. I just wish there was a way for it to always display.

Me too - I was willing to bite the $$ bullet because my wife's car has it and I drive Fords back from auction and am just used to it and wanted it. Then in the months waiting for it to come I'd look over the Ranger brochures which make it easy to see all the extras and like you all point out, there's a lot more than the start. My only regret of sorts is I did not want a CrewCab so I missed the B/O sound.
