XLT beats all other options...!!!!

[purdyd]

I think getting a ranger is a win, regardless of trim.

‘’but a artist does have a lot of little things, or at least used to, over the fully speeded xlt.’’

from my very first thread.

it seems to me that an XLT with the 301A and technology packages is a better deal and only missing

“bigger driving digital instrument cluster display
wireless Charging
memory seats
“leather” seats
seat back pockets
projector headlights
running boards. Not on 2025
heat mirrors with turn signal and safety light
Better sound system
running boards
rain sensing wipers
heated steering wheel
leather trimmed steering wheel
homelink
led Top brake light
zone lighting
second glove box
soft dash trim
soft front seat top of door trim
soft shifter trim
push button start
intelligent access (touch handle to open lock) (front doors only)
lighted visor mirrors
18” wheels

which I suppose after writing it down is probably why the difference in cost”

Doesn't the XLT only come with the standard LED headlights?

ALL 6G Rangers have LED headlights. Lariat USED TO have projectors, now all are reflector LED.

Ranger Lariat owners get rooked. F150 Lariats get 4A, but you can't get 4A on Ranger Lariats.

Ah, glad I got the early years then before it got removed. The lariat (and raptor) headlights are worth the price difference alone in my opinion.

Have an xlt 2.7 with tow (but not advanced tow, don't need it), fx4, 301 high group, and convenience package.

Kinda wishing I'd have just gotten a base lariat 2.7 instead.

I originally thought fx4 was important to have, but the reality is that I don't need the drive modes, the suspension isn't anything special, and I could easily install a locker myself. A tow hitch and wiring is simple as well. The 301 high group wouldn't matter with a lariat.

What I would have gained with a lariat is push button start, heated mirrors, and (I think, but may be wrong) 360 camera which would be great on trails.

It's all fine, I can retrofit that stuff for a price (more than if I'd just gotten a base lariat, less than swapping vehicles now), but should have thought harder about what actually matters when buying.

Coming from a 4runner with full time 4wd standard, it's always confused me why Ford makes this so difficult to get. Something else that I intend to add after warranty...
