POLL: Which trim did you buy?

[Jason B]

And they aren't even real leather.
I opted for a fully loaded XLT because I wanted cloth seats.

Agreed
There is nothing in a Lariat that screams an extra $5600 over an XLT High.

Curious how forum users break down. I’m guessing a lot of Raptors. What else? I’m an XL man myself.

Traded my black ‘21 XLT super 4x4 for a slightly used ‘24 Lariat FX4 with pretty much everything on it. Carbonized gray. Love the push button start & entry, heated steering wheel, rear side steps, LED headlights, 360 camera. Also has deluxe tow pkg, skid plates & rear locker. Rides like a Lincoln. My dream truck. I couldn’t be happier.

Lariat for the leather seats, larger gauge cluster screen and headlights. I always buy a trim near the bottom, decided to treat myself this time.

Same here - I like the extras on the Lariat trim and don't do heavy off-road stuff so RR was over the top. The 2.3L cranks out plenty of power in sport mode

What does Lariat do that Raptor does not? Lariat with a few options is almost as expensive as Raptor.

Towing capacity is the key difference, which is why I opted for a Lariat. It’s a very significant difference between 7,500 pounds for the Lariat, and 5,510 pounds for the Raptor. If you need to tow more than 3,500 pounds, the Raptor is not suitable for the job.

‘25 Lariat, 2.7, FX4, Blackout trim, Marsh Gray.
RR was tempting- but I opted for the increased towing and payload capacity.
Love my truck so far.

$24,525 CDN difference is why I went with the Lariat. It's obvious we're subsidizing US Raptor pricing.

call me crazy but I put Tiger tough cloth seat covers over my lariat leather seats.

it is the most comfortable setup I’ve driven in

i have to be careful at stop lights with the heated seats on as I will fall asleep.

I do agree the Xlt and even raptor are better values

and really the xl is a pretty darn fine truck. ford didn’t neuter it like some other company did with their base model

in the past I would be an xl buyer which is still a significant upgrade from my Toyota Tacoma 1st gen sr5 without even cruise control

Interesting!
Curious, how does that difference break down in Canada when the Lariat is optioned up with 4x4, 2.7L v6, a BAP pkg, and an FX4 pkg.
I am just guessing that gap between them closes by $10K or so?

 

[cc1999]

As for the poll, I was not able to pick two trims, so I picked the Raptor since that it what I drive.
I own 2 Raptors personally and 3 Lariats in my business.
All great trucks!

Might be wrong, but I believe all 6th gen rangers sold in Canada are 4x4

STX here. Everything’s too expensive these days, though I get that’s a personal perspective. These things are so loaded with tech these days I don’t much miss the upscale features.

I agree. At my old age ,I 've spent half my life driving vehicles without airbags, rear view cameras, power windows,, auto braking, parking sensors. Almost 1/4 of my driving life, no A/C, so all the technology means nothing to me. I like the simpler driving experience of an XL.STX. My only splurge ........
I did get 4x4..........with automatic locking hubs! (remember manual locking hubs?)

I know my 2024 Lariat FX4(with 2.3)was $59K where as the Raptor is $82K so big difference.
