Don't drive at night. These are the best OE headlights of the seven cars I've owned.

Something must be off with your eyesight.
yupp my led reflectors while not as good as my custom led projector retrofits i made for my last rig, they are pretty close.

i did however get rid of the absolute garbage led fogs, and got a set of diode Dynamics elite series fogs for my 25 xlt

Those second gen escape's are my favorite, especially the ones with the 4wd and v6.

Looks like the turn signals on the mirrors got removed as well. Wonder why Ford make these changes? Are they not selling enough Lariat models? Didn't see to many in dealership last year.
I finally found one that landed.
Sure looks like they got shafted on the premium projector headlights.

This is what they should look like. Or rather what they did look like on 2024 / 2025 model Lariats and Raptors. This is a 26 Raptor which still has the premium projector headlights.

Seats don't look like they changed much given they are not real leather anymore.

With a lot of options getting removed, it wouldn't surprise me if they keep the RR and the XL models and stop production on the rest, or just keep only the RR eventually.

Ford is hurting financially because Farley is an idiot. I just don't know if it's only Ranger getting walloped or other vehicles getting decontented, too. What I do know is I would not have bought a Lariat with all these things stripped out.

I find the really sad part of all this BS is that not only are these features not standard anymore, is that they are no longer even optional.

I really hope that there is a follow up with a Platinum pkg for the US market like it is offered overseas or something that puts these features and more back on the availability list in some way.

I find that odd too. I could understand making them paid options but to delete them entirely?

did the lariat and raptor lose the turn signal on the mirror?

To my knowledge Raptor did not lose anything other than the blue/grey color and about an 1/2" of bed rail cap height.

They’re leaving so money on the table by restricting options.

i would have paid a few hundred extra for factory Aux switches in my XLT… but that was not even an option.

when I do install them, it won’t be an OEM kit, out of spite

All this stripping of prior standard features.
Is making me have less and less hope that we will ever see a push button start in the XL/ XLT modes that they all should have being that we are well into the 2020s. I was thinking most company's abandoned keyed ignitions years ago.

I installed a diode dynamics dswitch for mine. ontop of my dual battery mount from arb from Australia to Canada(the barin/power box, switch panel is mounted with double sided tape for now till I get my trackform rail system) because arb usa wont bring them to the states, or canada. 🤦‍♂️ but over on ford preformance website they now sell a upfitter switch pack, its 4 aux switched and the fuse box. You remove your sunglasses holder and put in that.

and I noticed the instructions where made November 2024.... yet these didnt go out on the site till December2025/January2026.
