Disappointing, I haven't seen them on any XLT 302A either so probably not going to be. It not a deal breaker by any means, but if it says it's in the package it should be in the package!! Come on Ford!!If you can believe the build and price tool, it looks like they get added if you add the 301A package for the XLT. But even the image doesn't show the turn signal indicators:
I looked at the order guide (I think that is what it is called) and that showed that the mirrors are power but manual folding standard, and the 301a or 302a packages would only add power folding (not headed, turn signals or approach lights). So it appears there is a lot of conflicting info out there. I'm guessing the order guide is probably correct.
It sounds like a stupid thing, but the turn signals in the mirrors and heated mirrors was a big deal for me. One of the reasons I opted for a Lariat over XLT. The approach lights sound stupid too, but we had them on a 2004 Explorer and once we had them, they were really nice. I'm looking forward to having them again. Its funny how little features like that become "needed".
After sitting in that XLT here in Portland I started second guessing my choice. It was REALLY nice. But I'm sure I will be happy - I'm getting a pretty loaded Lariat - probably too many doodads, but what the heck - I will have this truck for quite some time.
If you were able to get some of the stuff on an XLT that you can get on the Lariat (heated/turn signal mirrors, nice sound system, LED lights, etc), I probably would have opted for an XLT. I'm sure they structure it that way to try and upsell you to a higher trim level, though.
