Massage seats. Better leather. Real wood trim. Different wheels (better? Depends what you like). Slightly higher resale later on.

I don't think the lariat has fake wood, just maybe a metallic looking accent piece in the middle of the arm rests. Platinum also has a brushed chrome looking grill and its also on the tailgate as opposed to a shinny chrome grill available on the lariat. None of which mattered to me either because I bought the appearance package in the lariat which isn't available in the platinum.

The deal breaker for me would be the painted bumpers. I hate em.

The Lariat actually has the real wood trim. The Platinum has the plastic trim. I have been in a 2015 Lariat so I have first hand knowledge. I have not been in a 2015 Platinum yet.

I agree with Tim. I am not a fan of the painted bumpers and how the chip. Chrome bumpers are a must have for me.

Maybe Lariat and up includes real wood trim, but Platinum definitely has the real wood trim.

Interior:I thought that at the least the sport appearance package on top of the FX4 removed the wood from interior trim from the lariat.

Exterior:I liked the look of the 2014 FX4 with the Sport Appearance Package. I am hoping the 2015 looks the same. To me Chrome has no place in that Blacked out look.
