Ha ha ha... NO!

 

Lariat the woman's FX4

 

$44,205 fully loaded Lariat vs. $44,150 fully loaded FX4

Damn! If I wasn't poor I'd be able to afford the extra $55 for a Lariat!!!

Don't be ignorant! I think everyone here who has a FX4 could afford a Lariat and vice versa.

 

It is all the same truck...Ford marketing is lossing pace with the real world...the extra letters only mean extra money, talk abought up selling 101, the Lincolin LT and Harley Davidison cost the same to build ( body, mecanical ) as a XL

Options and decals are costing Ford money, Instead of one base truck one loaded truck, and one high end truck you have XL . STX. XLT. XTR ( Canada ) Lariat. FX4. Harley davidson and the Lincolin LT...

8 levels of trim for the same dam truck....

 

Don't forget the special "Heavy-Duty F150." Increases GVWR to 8,200 lbs. for improved payload and towing.

Includes LT245/70x17D BSW all-terrain tires; high- capacity 17" 7-lug steel wheels; heavy-duty shock absorbers; 72-amp battery; upgraded springs, radiator and auxiliary transmission oil cooler; 10.25" gear set; standard 4.10 axle (optional 4.10 limited slip). Requires 5.4L 3V V8 engine. Available for Regular Cab Styleside with 8’ box (145" wheelbase) or SuperCab with 8’ box (163" wheelbase). 4x4 model requires 35.7-gal. fuel tank (Regular Cab and SuperCab only on XLT)

 

If you look at the options on my truck, a Lariat, you can clearly see that it's just an entry level Lariat. Many FX4s and some XLTs have options I don't. Trim levels don't mean much in Ford's world.

 

I agree with your order of classes but in order of what I would want is almost the exact opposite....

I would take a King Ranch far and away....

Than the Lariat than the FX4.

Funny how Ford can get us bickering over which trim is better.

 

Don't forget about all of the Region specific F150's

 

Damn dawg! You need to take a chill pill and calm down!

It's was a tongue-in-cheek comment.

No need to get your panties all crunched up . . .

 

That would be the xlt maybe? I was slit between a FX4 and my Lariat. I chose the lariat because of the cluster and it was a screw. Little did I know I could have just picked up a lariat cluster on E-Bay and put it in a FX4.

 

I got the FX4 because it had what I wanted in the color I wanted. I would have gotten a larait if it had what I wanted but there wasnt one at the dealer do I got the FX4. My question is why isn't like it was on the older model f-150's where you could get the FX4 package on the lariat or the XLT. I liked that and thats basically what the new luxury package is on the '06 models. Ford is so confusing .

 

All trim is good trim

 

I wish you could get a FX4, Lariat or King Ranch with an 8' bed.

 

You could in 2004 ........at least the Lariat

 

Lariat=ther poor mans LT
