Question about the LARIAT package(s)
Ok guys, here's my question. I'll try to keep it short this time lol
When I went to look at trucks, there was this one lariat that had the center console and the shifter was in that console. There was another one (that I ended up buying cause I liked the whole black on black look and the black leather inside) that was a lariat with the shifter on the column and no middle console. . . it has the (i think this is what its called) 60/40/20 seat(s)(??)
anyway, its the one that fold down in the middle and it has cupholders and a box to put stuff in. you can also use it as an armrest
i also noticed that it doesnt say lariat on the speedo like the other one did.
it has the leather and the chrome trim on the bezels and 6 cd changer and the push button a/c and radio controls etc so its GOT to be a lariat right?
Are there different lariat versions/packages?
did the center console only come in the 06 or 07 or something? Mine is an 05 and I THINK the one I saw was an 06
If there ARE different lariat packages, where can I go to learn about them? is there a thread somewhere? can the ford website tell me?
thanks guys . . . wow, i honestly tried to keep this short, I promise

Lariat is a Lariat, so to speak. It is one of the higher trim levels available. The only two trim levels that are questionably higher are the King Ranch & Harley-Davidson.
From the sounds of it, the main difference between the trucks you were looking at was the front seat arrangement--bench (40/20/40) versus captain chairs.
What do you mean by push button A/C & radio controls?
The Lariat comes standard with the EATC (Electronic Automatic Temperature Control) system that lets you set the temperature and the system will automatically maintain that temperature. But, this feature is available in a couple other trim levels. An FX4 with the FX4 Luxury Package would be equipped with the EATC, for example.

All 04-08 Lariats (and even the FX4) come standard with the column shift. The bucket seats and floor shifter/console is optional, although roughly 70% of FX4 or Lariats have the console floor shifter.
With the column shift, you have the P,R,N,D,2,1 indicators in the dash cluster. But when you have the center console floor shifter, they remove those indicators from the dash cluster and replace that spot with "Lariat" instead. Just like on my FX4 with the floor shifter, it says "FX4" inside my dash cluster.
Also on the exterior front fender badges it will say Lariat underneath the F-150 logo.

it says lariat on the side badge (outside)
by pushbutton i mean instead of dials that you turn, they are just buttons with a digital readout
it has controls on the steering wheel too.
cruise control on the left and radio and a/c on the right
the side badge outside is the only place i have seen it say lariat
i will try to run the vin and see if i can find out for sure that way.

Yeah, if the Lariat was not there, it is probably an FX4 with the FX4 Luxury Package or something.

felix, it's a Lariat man.
Goto the Ford website if you want to read about the different features between the different models.
Or the order guide is pretty helpful and full of details: http://www.sunrisefordfleet.com/pdf_files/order_guides/2008/2008%20F150%20Order%20Guide.pdf

Read the order guide or the Ford website!!! They help to learn about all the different features, because people in this thread are guessing or misinformed. The truck has been out for 5 years now like this.

Felix I have a Lariat with the 40/2040 seats. THe outside badge is the only place that says Lariat on these trucks. As previously stated, there is alot of overlap in options and trim packages, but yours is a Lariat, higher end than mine. My only came with a single CD player and no sub woofer! However, I did get heated seats

its weird Twins, the way Ford deicded to make like 18 versions of the Lariat lol
I dont have heated seats. I dont think I have a subwoofer (99.99% positive on that)
I have this weird track system that the overhead console can slide on or be completely removed from. Its very weird and I don't understand the reason for it. If I remove it, there is a hole in the headliner. I'm guessing this is to add a dvd player??

You're welcome. Ford does offer alot of different options. I guess so they can brag that they offer more options/configurations than the competitors.
There are different accessories that you put in the overhead rail storage bins, and a DVD player like you mention. goto www.fordaccessoriesstore.com and choose your truck and year. Then goto Interior and Overhead Rail Storage System and you'll see whats available.
