You forgot XL or STX.
Seems reasonable though...Ford has forgotten them as well.

Ford treats XL or STX customer orders with contempt and disdain.
I actually ordered an STX, but every time I drive by another dealer lot FULL of unsold Rangers I just grit my teeth . I am beyond angry... I am insulted by Ford's intentional contempt.

Supercab XLs and STXs are repeatedly pushed to the back of the line, as are 2WDs,
Ford would rather fill the lots with unsold XLT or Lariat Sedans than to honor sold orders for lower level Coupes.
After half a century as a loyal customer, I am now convinced that Ford no longer wants my business.

Even XLTs aren't that prevalent on dealers lots right now. It seems that Ford wants to attempt to put everyone in a loaded Lariat first and then worry about the lesser trim levels.

It’s really like that with any new vehicle launch. They always start with high-trim, high-option builds and then gradually introduce the cheaper optioned vehicles later on. They want to grab the early adopters who they know will spend the big bucks.

That may be fine for dealer lots, let them stock all gold plated, jewel encrusted "Faberge Rangers" if they choose, but they should deliver on their customer orders as ordered, and in an honest and timely manner....
Shame on them!

You're correct... but forgive me i didn't mean to leave anyone out. I just noticed a lot more XLT and other trims compared to Lariat.
just wanted to know why, i guess.

I made a list of everything the lariat has on top of the XLT, and i guess it was a no brainer for me.

We love to eat at a good restaurant occasionally.,,,
I like to order a good 5oz filet wrapped in bacon.
I have never had the manager come to my table and say,
"Sorry but we are only cooking 16oz steaks with all the trimmings right now,
Could you please wait in the lobby until those are all sold?
On second thought...It might be a while, since they are not customer orders,
so maybe you should come back next week for some cold leftovers!

dealers order what they think they can sell, based on what moves in their area.
my F150 is just an XLT and i love it, but there's features i waned that i couldn't get unless i got a Lariat...which was $9,000 more lol..yikes, no thanks.

No fault on you!
Thank you for the opportunity to vent!
It is I who must ask for forgiveness,
I have probably vented my frustrations a bit more than I should lately.
I did not mean to hi-jack your thread, which was a good one btw!

That's really unfortunate. I ordered Feb 25 and I have delivery in 7 days according to tracker.
Also, I ordered XLT for the sole fact that I don't care for leather seats. Lariat would have been right for me if cloth was an option.

 

[EcoRanger]

My dealer seems to order a 50/50 mix of XLT's and Lariat's

 

[DBRanger]

i ordered an STX as well. If it takes longer, I really don't care . I am in no hurry and did not wish to spend an extra $ 10-15000 for bells and whistles I don't want or need . Big screens and Christmas lights and such.

 

[THLONE]

I ordered a XL. I didnt need ford to dress up my truck, I will do my own thing. The XL will change to TC.

Originally ordered xlt but did not want to wait any longer so I got the 1st lariat scab they got at villa ford out here in Ca
