Is there something that outlines the differences between trims? FX4/XLT/Lariat etc

It really boils down to whether or not you want or need 4WD. If you don't live in nasty weather and never plan on going offroad, 4WD will be an absolute boat anchor for what you need. Otherwise, don't make it painful for yourself: get the 4WD if you expect any kind of winter.

Well you just have to check what options the 4x4 lariat has and compare it to what the fx4 has. Not all lariats have 3.73s and skid plates. Mine does.

That's a great deal on a Lariat. And it's absolutely primed for a Roush package because you would have the wheels and interior color already.

LIMITED basically a white harley w/ tan interior. Had the same AWD t-case as the harley, same lower valence, same grill, same 22" wheels, same running boards, they were just white. They had special chrome L I M I T E D block letters on the bed side. Limteds only came in screw w/ 5.5' bed, came in white tri-coat only and were 08 only.
Lariat Chrome Package also got you the Ford version of the ROUSH grill and the chrome exhuast tip too
and I think on the late 06s the 07 and 08 KRs they started getting body colored skull caps , door and tailgate handles

If you don't need 4x4 go for it! That's an excellent deal for what you are getting. A $90 Roush grille alone will turn this:
into this:
There are lots of goodies Roush sells to complement black Screws.

I was just looking at the truck your looking at, I say go for it. It's a decent price for the mileage and for what it is. I see it has the 40/20/40 seats, if you want put in an XLT console in place of the center 20 seat, there is only 4 bolts and about 5 minutes to change it. Here is my old one after I painted it to match the FX4 interior colors, which is the same colors as the lariats with the black leather.
The leather lariat console lid is a direct bolt on to the XLT console, part # 5L3Z-1506024-AAC
BTW the center 20 seat from a lariat in black leather is worth some serious coin on ebay, 99% of them are in grey cloth, a factory leather one is rare and valuable.

LARIAT Came with standard leather interior in black or tan w/optional flow thru console, with a different guage cluster than lower trim levels w/message center.came with standard EATC and faux woodgrain trim in place of the faux carbon fiber of the fx4's. All lariats had standard power heated mirrors and standard rear window defrost, and standard 5.4 v-8. Lariats came with chrome bumpers, chrome grill surround, smooth painted fender flares and beige or black honeycomb grill. Two tone paint is available in beige only, only the bright red and blue lariats get mandatory two-tone paint, all other colors, it's optional. Lariats only came in scabs w/5.5' or 6.5 bed and screws w/5.5' or 6.5' bed. In 04 only a regular cab 8' bed lariat could be had but they are VERY rare. Wheels were standard 18" or optional 20's and all configuations could be had in 2wd or 4x4. 4x4's got ESOF standard.
