I also have a bias towards the Lariat and the smokestone 06 color. Personally I think the gauges are so much nicer and classier than FX4's, I'm not a fan of ABS plastic. Don't forget about the padded console lid, your elbow will thank you.
Never had any problems with the gizmos, except the power window switch crapped out but that affects a lot of f150's.
Both are very nice but I just liked the Lariats a more.

no wheres your vote stand? you dont have arizona beige. i dont mind it on some colors. like blue or green or black but on red or white im not a fan.

would a 6.0 or 6.4 diesel get better gas mileage than a 5.4 f150?

Ditto. It really isnt that big of a deal...find a truck you like and get it.

'08 FX4 w/luxury package for me and I wouldn't have it any other way. The painted handles, painted grille, painted mirror skull caps, and dark headlights really set the truck off. You really do get the best of both worlds -- sporty looks and all the luxury features of the Lariat (except the padded arm rest and info center).
