Was wondering what you all thought of the FX4 version of FORD truck what the difference really is between FX4 and lariat. And thanks for the input in my last post about 2007 over 2008 models.

 

leather seats, skid plates on the tank and transfer case and rancho shocks..

 

all of the above and painted bumpers and different grill and the fender trim things whatever u call them painted same as bumpers

 

all the above and center gear shift , not on the column

 

really? i didnt know that .. lame imo

 

Do they have the outside temp therm. in the dash like the lariet and do they seem as nice on the inside as a lariet

 

black leather instead of white, skid plates and none wood imitations, fx4 is more "off-road"

 

Go to the dealer and check them out. To me, the Lariat seems more luxurious. The FX4 has all the comforts but maintains a sporty edge. The FX4 is my favorite and the reason I bought one. I like the color matched grille and bumpers. Im not a big fan of BLING. Hope this helps.

 

Yep, I agree 100% . I like the color match grill & bumpers.

 

and the "carbon" interior is so much better

 

Bubz,
I don't believe the FX4 has outside temp, because I think you need the auto temp control. I don't think the auto temp is available in that model

 

I believe that's only on the F-150. The SD still has the column shifter auto. across the board. And the FX-4 Luxury package has:

FX4 Luxury Package includes black leather heated seats; dual electronic temperature control; reverse vehicle aid sensor; power sliding rear window; memory power trailer tow mirrors; memory power driver seat and adjustable pedals; message center and trip computer with distance-to-empty, average fuel economy, autolamp configuration and status, system check and language selection; Ford SYNC™; premium 6 disc CD changer; leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio/climate controls and auto-dimming rearview mirror (requires automatic transmission; not available with FX4 Plus Package)

Just found this on Ebay - FX-4 with Lux pkg. Has heated seats, dual elect. climate, etc:

eBay Motors: Ford : F-250 (item 200311215907 end time Feb-23-09 18:19:48 PST)

 

I wonder why that truck does not have the gray wheel flares to match the bumpers.
