Why did you bother going from a XLT to a Lariat?? I mean there pretty much the same exact truck but Lariat just adds a little more to the inside? They both ride the same, look very very simiar, same engine, same everything besides a few add on's in the cab? Just my 02 cents, but I have an XLT with every option for this truck and I would not trade it in for a Lariat.

 

Traded my 2004 XLT Screw 12-03-2004 2004 Larit 4x4 Screw and wow what a different truck nicer ride love the leather, heated seats, back up sensors, and gota love this 5.4 sticker was 41,200 i paid 30,000

 

I agree with mjbesen 310.the XLT is plenty nice...

 

as400pro....Sorry, I didn't notice you went from supercab to supercrew ,I'm sure you'll love it...My only dislike is the short bed.

 

AS400Pro - How much of a hit did you take on the trade-in?

2004Screw - I thought all the XLTs came with backup sensors.

 

Not all XLTs ... I have an XLT and no back up sensors.

 

nope my XLT was great the kids tore up that cloth interior and i put 20,000 miles on in 9 months 75% city driving and i was upside down 2,300 they gave me 20,000 for my XLT and i could not pass up 30,000 for 41,200 sticker this is my 3rd 2004 F-150 since 11-13-2004 and i had no problems with the 2nd 0r 3rd 1st one was STX for

 

Boy, you got problems.....

 

Life is good

 

[QUOTE=mjbesen310]I traded up from an 04 XLT to an 04 Lariat. There are significant differences. It's a better ride and much more solid. The doors tell the tale. Much more solid sound when closing them. The XLT is a great truck, but I would do the same thing in a heartbeat even at the cost loss.

 

Nah. The XLT is as far as I'd go for it to still be a TRUCK. I had heated seats and leather and all that crap in my last car but this time I wanted a TRUCK that looked like a TRUCK and that I would USE as a TRUCK. (I can't believe all you grocery getters with all these skin creams..er..."swirl removers" etc). The Lariat is an Explorer with a tail! (I hate that short bed)! TRUCK! All that pantywaste stuff in a TRUCK is like putting a bubble on a Harley or something-it just doesn't belong! The XLT has just the right balance of value/features that can still be called a TRUCK. The Lariat puts a sweater on a pit bull! To each his own though, seriously.

 

It's a little larger than any Explorer!

 

Now, just put 3 coats of Zaino Z2 show car polish on that Lariat and you are set for a while. Check the pics in my gallary to see how good Zaino is.
