Favorite Trims?
I was wondering the preferences for super duty.
I have a lariat...but coming to realize after a year, I barely use any of the features. Power mirrors and defrosting have been life savers. But power sunroof and rear window..meh. Id prefer less things to go wrong, personally.
However. I love the walk in closet size console vs a 40/20/40 seating.

I prefer the XLT...but it's what I have so I'm a little biased lol. Power mirrors, Power driver seat, cloth seats, power locks and windows. It's all I need in a truck. Although my friends 06 lariat is pretty nice.

Xl with chrome appearance package. Rubber floors and vinyl seats are a must for me. I like a simple climate control with ***** and radio with buttons instead of all the touch screen stuff. If I did it over again, I would have gotten power windows and locks, but only because you don’t get keyless entry(which I added aftermarket), market lights on the mirrors, and storage pockets on the doors. Not for the power windows and locks themselves.

I've had 2 XLT's and a Lariat. I really miss the Lariat. It was a base Lariat, and didn't have the sunroof, electric rear window, and other things. But one thing I really miss with it is the dual zone auto-climate control. My XLT has the power/heated/extending tow mirrors, and I really like them. Leather I can do with or without. I would have a Lariat again for sure, but a well equipped XLT would certainly be acceptable.

I have the Lariat Ultimate which is the same as a Platinum without the emblems. I bought mine when it was a year old, didn't get to pick and choose. I would have spent my money more wisely if I was buying new.

I love the King Ranch. That's what I really wanted when I bought this last truck but lariat was as close as I could get. Wish I had a sunroof, but love the power rear window.

XLT good balance between a few creature comforts without too much extra. I too have the center console, and it is awesome. Took a long time to find an XLT with that console, seems to be much more common on the higher trim levels.
As far as appearance, I really like the King Ranch trim. Hard for me to justify buying though, higher price, more features than I need, and lower payload.

I like the xlt. Kinda plain but I don’t like lots of gadgets that cut into my payload. I can add what I want like backup camera,sub woofer,fog lights and still have decent payload capacity.
