The image generator is a bit off. Or these are going to look weird.
Note on the Lariat BAP.
Front fender lip moldings are black the rear are body color.

Massive cost cutting and awful design decisions.
1. Painted wheel arch against black plastic block - awkward and unsightly.
2. Front painted wheel arch and black wheel arch??
3. Black mirror caps - cost cutting.
4. Black/gray front bumper - cost cutting.

How can you guys be so wrong about this? 🙃
well I guess if you opt for the chrome package, but to add chrome to an otherwise non chrome body, looks like a turd in a punchbowl

I honestly think this is all just stock photo error, and will not be the case in reality. From all the data I have, other than the front grill chrome bars, no real body changes.

This is for the lariat on the choose your model page under exterior standard features. They're either keeping the projectors or need to update the page Door handles were updated though.

2024 Ford Ranger Lariat Fx4 2.7L
At some point during the '25 model year run they dropped the price of the FX4 package but at the same time split out the running boards and charge something like $700 for them. The net result was a $400 or $500 increase for people who ordered the fx4 with running boards. My early '25 lariat build is about $2,395 higher now (msrp).
Since the 1970's called me and at the time ordered the chrome package, the boards came with the package. I just remember all the chrome my buddies and I had then and I like it...I just have to wait another decade, and I'll be in style again.

I'm locked in since I put a paint matched ARE topper on the cactus grey, but not sure I would have gone chrome today... but very happy with what I have and ordered.

Chrome then (24) included the front tow hooks and fog lights bezels as well. I added the bug shield for bling.

On the side included mirror skull caps and handles. I added the stainless spacer between cab and boards (more bling...but keeps boards cleaner). Opted for aluminum cross bars on topper instead of black.

On the back added the "ranger" and trailer receptacle in stainless. More bling.

Use the truck for work to carry samples, hence mostly a pavement princess. Late spring, summer and fall it sees forest service roads, back country, camping and here fishy fishy.

Happy rangering everyone. I do like this truck...the 2.7L is zippy.

Well you got an XLT, so that tracks. A bright chrome bar in the grill and window moulding would appropriately distinguish the Lariat from the XLT.
And you are a Lariat owner, so that tracks LOL, but I am out regardless, I owned a RR as well, just not a chrome guy at all.
