What's the difference

So I'm a little late in letting you all know, but I traded my 2011 for a 2017. Worth every penny. So after deciding I didn't like the monochromatic look of the Platinum, I was told I could get 2-tone in a KR. We couldn't locate a KR with what I wanted on it and then I found the Lariat Ultimate that I ultimately purchased.

So, what did I miss out on? I've figured the automatic running boards and massaging seats but is there anything else?

Also if anyone wants to discuss it, what are the differences between Platinum/KR/Lariat Ultimate? I'm aware of the leather and KR badging on that model, but it seemed to hard for me to tell what the compelling differences were.

Ultimately the only option available on a KR or Platinum that cant be had on a Lariat is the massaging seats. Other than that it's just appearance/leather (and the lighted door sill on the platinum). I actually chose my Lariat over the Platinum because I found that the leather strip down the center of the Platinum/KR seat back dug into my back.

I'm not sure how yours is optioned so there could be differences between what you actually have and what's standard on the upper trims.
