I'm trying to understand what the difference would be between these (its about $2800 difference in cost).

LARIAT, SuperCrew, 3.5 Ecoboost, 4x4, 502A package, Sport Appearance, Max Tow, Technology Package, Active Park Assist, Extended Range Tank, Tailgate Step, Moon Roof, Power Deploy Running Boards, Adaptive Cruise/Collision Warning, All-Weather Mats.

PLATINUM, SuperCrew, 3.5 Ecoboost, 4x4, 701A package, Max Tow, Active Park Assist, Extended Range Tank, Moonroof, All-Weather Mats.

X-Plan for the Lariat is $52,822, Platinum is $55,646. I'm just trying to understand what "hidden" differences there might be between these two. What I'm aware of: Grill/bumper, chrome skull caps on mirrors and trim under driver window on platinum, wheels are differnt, platinum tailgate badging, available Brunello seats on platinum (at no cost). Anybody know what other differences there would be? Is the interior significantly upgraded on the platinum too?

I think only Massage seats , mine is the lariat as you described I couldn't bring myself to pay extra for the seats and badges

Massaging seats, real wood vs. plastic wood grain, leather quality, aluminum around vents vs. plastic. and what ever else I missed.

Lariat 502A includes the heated steering wheel.

Thanks for the quick replies. So far looks like the massaging seats is the biggest one I overlooked. Regarding the leather quality, what is the difference? Is there any difference in the luxuriousness of the seat themselves (cushions)? Anything else? That's quite a premium they get, but I have to admit that I really love the look of the platinum grill and also really interested in the Brunello leather on a Tuxedo black truck so it won't be an easy decision for me. It would be easier if the platinum didn't have the chrome accents on the door and the plaque on the tailgate - I don't care for those at all.

It used to be the Lariats only had leather inserts, the rest was vinyl. All vinyl in the backseats. The Platinum had all leather fronts, and leather inserts in the back. Someone else should confirm this though.

Dont forget colors...

You are pretty limited in colors for sport package for whatever rediculous reason.

Isn't there also things like the rain sensing wipers I don't think you can get that on the lariat.

Yes you can, I have it!

OP are you comparing fully loaded Platinum to fully loaded Lariat? Because the price difference should be higher than what you got.
