I for one am holding out for the 2018 models as I want LED headlights and Adaptive Cruise without a sunroof on a Lariat that requires Lariat Ultimate package to get these 2 options!................. So LED headlights you need to spend about $6k more as it requires Lariat Ultimate Package and BLIS!!

Are you listening FORD, are you?
Transaction price is a big Wall Street number for automakers. When you can show increased average transaction price in an otherwise down sales year, stockholders remain happy. If the LED headlights were available as a standalone option on the XLT trim level, Ford would sell far more lower-priced trucks. Requiring no less than the Lariat Ultimate (with leather, power/memory everything, heated/cooled seats, Sync 3 with navigation, etc.) and BLIS means people dead-set on those headlights will pay as much as $10K more than if they could get away with a comfortably-equipped XLT. That extra $10K means more profit per vehicle, offsetting any decline in sales.
Lariat Ultimate is not available on lariat ext cab or I would of got it. I don't know why you have to have crew cab to get it but ford lost money because they don't offer it on ext cab.

Not to be ornery, but I doubt they lost any money due to not offering it. They know the customer base pretty well and have a pretty good idea on cost per unit that will be profitable.

I'm guessing it has to do with the ambient lights that are part of the package.
