I like this comparison video Ben. Great job!
I have no idea how the average person can afford trucks these days. 4 year old trucks are still selling for 40k with 100k miles.
The majority of people can't afford them. They think just because they can make a $700 truck payment they can afford it. They dont realize the difference between afford and debt. They loose there job and guess which is the first thing to go is. Our society is addicted to debt, doesn't matter what it is. Homes, vehicles, cell phones etc.
@@zeuscasey you aren’t wrong. I was one of those people before, never again
@@therealad4342 its pretty easy to get wrapped up in debt. I remember when I bought my first house, had no debt and within 2 yrs had a home depot card at 6k and other credit cards. I just got to the point and said, this isn't the way to live paid that crap off and haven't looked back. Over 20 yrs now, and it might take me a little longer to get the car i want or cash flow a home improvement project . but it's all cash deals now. What is more troublesome, is the younger kids seem to be getting groomed at a early age to think that getting into debt is status quo.
When building my truck, there was about a $7k difference between a similarly configured XLT and Lariat. But I agree that a high-end XLT and a low-end Lariat are likely similarly priced.
I'll take the high end xlt. In the sport trims I just can't get use to that two tone interior in the lariat sport.
same my heritage xlt fully loaded is going to be 7k less than a lariat with not as many options
Ford removed the temp readouts on the heater knobs , my 2023 xlt sport came with black appearance pkg , adjustable pedals , co-pilot 360 , spray in bed liner and pro power 2kw b& o stereo and auto start/stop delete also tail gate step and locking 3:55 rear axle , i have had three Lariats over the years and now my new xlt with leather is a very nice truck !
I now have a’23 XLT Sport 302A coming from a ‘19 same trim. Other than leather seats and 4A it “feels” like upgrading to a Lariat. I prefer cloth seats and I ordered the rear sliding window for and extra $300 which was standard in ‘19. Analog gauges with the nice animation feels Lariatish. So I’m very satisfied.
@BenHardyofficial1 ?
The XLT driving system sucks. It’s very sluggish and the cloth interior is the worst.
@@JonBonesJones84 I guess it’s what you prefer interior wise, I good with cloth. But I’m not sure what you mean XLTs being “sluggish”. You can order whatever engine you desire to overcome “sluggishness”.
Ditto
I am down with the XLT 302a Package
I just bought the XLT Lariat just a few days ago. I can't wait to pick it up from the dealer...I have had a regular XLT for the past 8 years or so. It has been good but I am beginning to have some minor issues with the old one.
thank you for the info great vídeo 🔥
I love constant recalls on my 21 f150
Half these things are options available on the XLT. You can equip them almost identical. The things you lose on the XLT is the 4A transfer case but the XLT tc actually locks up. The gauge cluster. Lariat has better headlights available, leather, and power folding mirrors. Basically everything else can be had on the XLT. If leather, power folding mirrors, and the 4A TOD transfer case are worth 10k to you then so be it.
@@DJS100 nope and it’s the only thing I actually miss.
I just bought loaded Xlt last September … lariat wasn’t worth the money difference
I didn’t think you could get leather seats in an XLT. Are they dealer installed?
On the XLT Powerboost. It makes no sense to me that the tailgate doesn’t come with the measurement, bed lights, etc. If it has the power generator then you should have all the tools for it to be a workman’s truck. I like the idea of having all that electrical power available but for me the amenities of the Lariat outweigh the XLT. That being said the XLT’s now have a lot of features that my ‘15 XLT with the 302A doesn’t have so they are getting fancy for a working truck.
FYI….that pattern on the inside door trim is a street level map of Detroit. On the side of the dash, that can only be seen when the door is open, there’s the American flag…in the chrome part.
I have a question, will it be worth it to trade in my 2021 Chevy Silverado RST for a Ford lariat?
Would love to see a Larait VS Tremor 🤔🤔
My dad traded in 2019 for 150 xlt fx4 for 2023 Ford f-150 xlt fx4 3.5 eco trailer packages! 😊
pretty sure those are vented seats, not actually air conditioned. Those black leather seats in the XLT are going to suck in the summer.
What f150 model is the highest class?
Price for each?
You can price an XLT higher than a Lariat, but cannot get power folding mirrors, nor auto 4 wheel drive in an XLT.
@benhardyofficial1 acknowledged
Your spot on, id buy the XLT if it had 4A, but once you have driven with 4A in snow or ice it's hard to buy a truck without it- makes Lariat the best IMO
If you're in snow or ice that's that bad. Just put it in 4H. It's not the end of the world.
I've owned 2 XLT trim level trucks, one XLT Premium trim level truck and one Lariat trim level truck (I currently own) although these are all Super Duty pickup trucks. Either way, F-150 1/2 ton or Super Duty 3/4 ton and 1 ton (I currently own), once I bought a Lariat, I wasn't going back to the XLT or below. That's not to say there is anything wrong with the XLT trim level trucks because, there isn't. In fact, these trim level trucks now sport many options that just a few years ago, you would have HAD to go up to the Lariat to get. They've (the XLT trim level trucks) have come a long way from my first Ford pickup, a 2010 F-250 XLT Super Duty, which, by the way, was $38k back then when I bought it new. The PRICES have come a LONG way too. However, that said, the point that I'm trying to make is that once I have owned a Lariat, I won't go back down to a lower trim level. Again, nothing wrong with the lower trim level Ford pickup trucks. These days even the base XL trim level has more options and creature comforts than my (first) 2010 F-250 XLT had. But for me, it's the Lariat. (Preferably, the HIGH PACKAGE/ULTIMATE PACKAGE Lariat).
I'm gonna perfur both of these trucks Ben.
I wish you could get color matched bumpers, leather, that dual exhaust integrated with the bumper, LEDs, on a regular cab short bed. Why do they leave the sportiest truck in the lineup out and give it that ugly 1740s little radio screen? Like, I'm pretty sure that's what George Washington's dash looked like in the regular cabs. I don't care about a console. I actually prefer the bench seat, but I know some people want a console in one too. A 5.0, 4x4 RCSB is 50k and looks like a $15,000 truck the way Ford let's you option it. I don't know why I'm optimistic, but I am that Ford will make the regular cabs better with the 24MY refresh. 🤞🏻
Need an XLT Hybrid vs Lariat Sport comparison
2:21 honestly the grey truck looks like the lariat here just going off the grills. Why do they put that ugly plastic material as the grill on the lariat and a gloss one on the xlt? Makes no sense
The ugly plastic is sposed to look sporty🙄
Wwwwwhhhhoooooaaaa - around the 4:15 Mark you quickly brushed over the differences in Exhaust Tips. What causes Lariat to have a Single Exhaust Tip and the XLT to have Dual Exhaust Tips? I like the Dual Exhaust Tips (sans the RAM trucks). Thanks.
Hey Scott, I happen to know this. It’s the black appearance package. That option gives you XLT leather seats, the black f-150 placard tailgate, the unique wheels, and dual exhaust.
From what I understand, it’s the only way to get the dual exhaust like that
@@cb86258 tremor gets duals as well. As a note the 5.0 xlt black out package does not get “fake” duals
@@na4valve correct
Could you do one with the Lariat VS a Tremor??
The 2023 Tremor can be optioned as an XLT or Lariat depending on which option package you choose from. The $7500 “Tremor high” package is identical to the Lariat apart from all the added off road goodies the Tremor has. The Tremor Standard pack is identical to an XLT.
I’m really torn on the digital dashboard. Once you see/sit in front of a truck that has it, any truck that doesn’t have it, feels ancient. It’s not optioned in an XLT
I don’t like the digital dash at all, I prefer gauges
@@paulhunter9613 interesting, that’s fair.
Lariat wins. Interior color, vent seats, nicer wheels. However I would like to add the rear exhaust bumper and manual lift tailgate from the xlt. 5.0l if available would be my power choice
instead of just being like "cool tips coming out the back of the XLT" it would be nice to know which specific package or option gets you that.
5.0 is the way to go, more durable, v6 turbos are ok but wont last long
Just ordered a Lariat with a bench front seat. We’ll see if I ever get it as it is an odd build
How? They don’t allow bench front in lariat from 23
@@linxue3690 my bad. I ordered a f350, i guess I should have mentioned it was a completely different model. That is part of the reason I did it before they remove the option from the HD models.
I'd pick the base Lariat over the loaded XLT, because it has the Bang & Olufsen audio.
My dad just picked up a 2022 XLT that has the B&O system in it. It can be optioned on XLT, might be part of a package as opposed to a stand-alone option, but definitely is available on XLT
@@ridewithme3428 I know that. I am just saying in this case.
I have a 2018 xlt and to be honest im so happy its just an xlt with the bare minnimum. No fancy bs that breaks easily. Just a work truck. Love how mine looks too, its navy blue with some (what i assume is) chrome. The interior is gorgeous too, and i actually love the cloth seats. I have only ever had leather, i have a really bad back and i feel like my back is doing better now that i have cloth seats.
People think you get more with a high end model, you get less truck and more car
You dont lose any payload on the powerboost, what are you talking about? Has a lighter GVW than the Coyote, and makes more horse and torque.
Lack of 4a is one of a long list of reasons that I'm sticking with my almost 5 year old F150. The "upgrade" to a Lariat comes with all kinds of stuff I don't need or want. Ford will sell you an entire brand new 4WD trandfer case for $1700, so it would be simple to add as an upcharge to any 4x4 F150.
Exactly why I replaced my xlt with a titan. Get everything in a xlt and more for less money. And a much better warranty.
Bought a left over 22 lariat space white for 62k msrps for 69. Dont buy these 23s until they come down in price. 62 is still high for a lariat. I’m 2019 I bought a lariat for 50k…. Prices need to go back down.
My lariat bed doesn't lift itself 😂
All about the 4 wheel auto in the snow
@BenHardyofficial1 how
Both are over priced trucks!!! Those should be limited trim prices
Lmao you obviously haven't seen GMC or Toyota tundra prices 😳 silly people at least the Ford will hold up 👍
This the new norm unfortunately
Bidenflation, dollar ain't worth shit!
So what is the proper price for this vehicle?
@@brandonmacon3317 class leaders in warranty repairs and recalls. The real world disagrees with your hyperbole.
These both go on sale in Australia in June 2023 . Bizarrely there is a $40;000 difference in price,with the Lariat being the more expensive one. How do you get such a change in price between USA and Australia for the same vehicles- answers on a postcard please
I have a 2017 twin turbo. Both turbos are bad both cats bad and a manifold gasket bad 6k
Highly doubt I’ll ever buy a turbo charged motor again
I want that hybrid truck so much , not for the tree hugging aspect but the generator mode is amazing ! I currently have to run a inverter generator when camping and now that I saw the generator mode in action I just have to have it
Love the lariat
The REAL advantage of the Lariat is the availability of 4auto instead of 4hi. For 99% of people, just leave it in 4auto all year long, and let the truck figure it out. No debating whether the conditions really warrant switching to 4hi, no worrying about whether youre going to damage your drivetrain. For times when the going does get really tough, 4hi and 4lo are available if you need it.
I could care less that the Lariat has leather and is available with a 19 speaker audio system and power running boards...
It really frustrates me that Ford does not have 4wd auto in their lower trims like the other manufacturers do.
@@je1279 yeah I mean hell you can get a sub-$30k chevy colorado work truck with 4auto. But at least Ford’s better than Toyota and Nissan which dont offer 4auto on any of their truck’s trims.
I was doing this in the winter until ford boss mes video stating we shouldn't do this.
Couldn't care less
@@drew4769 🤝
Shiiit! Based on the price alone, might as well pick the Lariat!
I have a 2018 Ford F-150
Welp....I can't afford this 😂😪
Wish the diesel was in this video 😢
Or pay someone $500 every time you need to haul or pull something and save thousands.
Tough one…
This truck should be 40k AFTER tax license etc...
I go XLT all day because I hate those fancy features that break down and I never use them. If you have dogs and work the XLT is general better for cleaning (not in the weird leather case here). I enjoy cloth seats more in a pickup and I find the Ford's comfy but I am probably in the minority here. .
I agree that cloth in general is a better material for seats. I think equating leather with luxury is an old school train of thought. Cloth has its advantages -- especially in a 4 season climate. The only advantage of leather is that theyre easier to wipe down.
Yeah I like cloth. Leather gets hot in summer, cold in winter, cracks, etc
Everything is so flipping over priced. Until the economy crashes in the not to distant future...
Why are you rushing explaining the details lol
I’m the oddball. I have a 21 Lariat with the 60/40 bench seat. It was about a $2000 difference between the XLT and the Lariat I was wanting to build. Glad I went with the Lariat.
My 2005 XLT sure taught me to buy a dodge. Lol
you will regret that decision .
@@northlander4370 oh. And how is that gonna happen.
@@alvinlee-et1mj wait and see...your Italian truck will give you issues
@northlander4370 you have no idea what I will have. I have been a loyal ford owner since I first started driving and up till I bought my 05 F-150 no ford has ever left me walking. Noticed I said till the 05 150.
@@alvinlee-et1mj easy Alvin...just having some fun
I'll take the xlt the wheels and tires on the lariat r terrible
I’ve test driven the XLT and the Lariat. The XLT falls short in every category imaginable. It’s got the worsened engine and transmission and the cloth interior smells weird for some reason. The material is very hard and rough and doesn’t offer a lot of support especially if you’re commuting to work every day.
The Lariat has the better engine and transmission, V6 twin turbo, blind spot monitor, lane departure, sunroof, leather interior, better handling and acceleration etc…
I think the transmissions are identical 10 speed. The engine selection is not trim dependent. It’s up to the customer on what engine you get, no matter what trim. The only difference is interior appointments and tech options and the 4x4 package you choose. But you can get a XL with the 3.5 motor 10 speed tranny and get the Lariat with the 2.7. Motor trannies are completely independent of the trim you choose. So that’s not a reason to pick the XLT or the Lariat
I’m guessing you’ve never test driven either . Also many dealers will throw in leather seats in the XLT making it identical to the lariat as fas as seats
the newer gen 2021 onward xlt interior plastic looks nicer but feels cheaper compared to the previous gen. the dampening feel in the left/right signal bar is gone. i agree with the weird "new car" smell in the new xlt, it is like bad or recycled plastic. perhaps the production line pays more attention to lariat models than xlt's. F150's engine are like hit or miss these days. the v8 in Normal mode feels jumpy due to cylinder deact. the base mirror is too small for a round 3-inch blind spot mirror. seems to me ford ditched the old parts suppliers.
I love people when completely clueless people give their opinion
Another clueless boomer lmao get a chrysler gtfo of the truck section
Why is Ford so dead set on having the absolute ugliest, cheapest looking wheels that you can possibly have?!?!
The XLT is $12-15 K more than the STX and the only difference is a few more bells and whistles. Ridiculous.
I pick neither, they are overpriced.
Can you pronounce video properly?
Lariat
Must be nuts… no brains…no headaches…to buy a “truck” loaded with finicky electronic gadgets. Ford is banking on big repair/maintenance bills.
This is shameful Ford.
Who tf are buying these????
It’s an f150 blah not exiting at all
Maybe you can slow your mouth down.
STX is my choice under 50k
I wish they'd offer the STX package on the regular cabs, it's the sportiest model and you can't option it on one. Doesn't make any sense to me
