Buy what you need. Buy what works for YOU!
It's the luxury package available on FX4's. Have you even looked at Fords website?
Wow, how incredibly insightful!! Did you come up with that yourself?

I know there are several trim differences.......and functional differences.......etc. as noted above.
To me the main difference (Lariat to FX4 lux) is you do get the locker in the FX4 and you're stuck with black interior.
Everyone has their own pet pieve.........one of mine is black interior. Had one in my first car and swore ......never again. Way to hot compared to any other interior color.
Not a big deal in some parts of the globe. In south Louisiana......at least to me...it's a big deal.
If I want a locker bad enough ......... I'll put one aftermarket in my Lariat with my tan (cool) interior.
I love the FX4s.........I just love my cool interior more

actually for the 09 FX4 it's medium stone which is supposed to be a light grey but it sure does look like tan. For 2010, you can only get black.

Mines loaded, except for the back up camera. The only thing lacking in the FX4 are the cooled seats. They are heated but not cooled. The FX4 does have the 3.73 locking rear diff. I think the Lariat would have a 3.55. If you are upsizing tires, I would go with the FX4 for the gears. My '06 struggled with 35s until I got my tuner. The FX4 seems to handle the 35s better. I cant wait for Edge to release their tuner for the 09. That should really wake it up.

I have that same interior in my FX4, I really didn't think I would at first but I really do like the contrast between the seats and the rest of the interior. Shame they aren't offering it anymore

yeah I know, I actually had the light grey seats in my old 04 FX4 and liked it, they went with the grey dash trim pieces.
