I don't know, but that avs hood deflector looks like it was at the ford plant where they make the grill, they got the satin chrome finish to match perfect. I'm seriously thinking about getting one and I don't even like chrome that's how good it looks. Beautiful truck.

Don't get me wrong i love your truck but i feel like i saved $10000 by choosing a lariat over a platinum and picked the same options
here's the forum link to mine, https://www.f150forum.com/f118/new-2015-lariat-306621/

Nice truck icer301. I'm glad you feel you saved some compared to mine!

Not to burst your bubble, but you can't get my color combo with the Lariat....and once you add up all the comparable options

Loaded Platinum Net Price = $63,025

Loaded Lariat Net Price = $61,685

Total difference of $1,340...and it's not the color combo I wanted
Guess the $1,340 is the cost of being in the Platinum club and massaging seats lol.
*Loaded is without bed extender or ramps.

I did a lot of comparing a loaded Lariat to the Platinum. Other than the wheels, the 'premium' leather, and the trim / grill (the Platinum has the 'brushed' chrome trim), the only other item that may not be included with the 502A Lariat with all the boxes ticked as far as I can tell is the massaging seats, and even that I'm not sure of and may be incl. in the Lariat.

Yes, you are correct LMychajluk. Looks like you can't get multi contoured seats on just the lariat. "Leather-Trimmed Bucket Seats with heated and cooled 10-way power driver and passenger seats, memory driver’s seat."

So, I've been dealing with trying to get my passenger side window replaced due to a flaw in manufacturing. First attempt, after a few hours of tearing down the door, removing the glass, the tech looks at the replacement glass, and finds a flaw. He then has to put my door back together with the old glass and order a new one.

So, a few weeks later, the new glass is in and I have time in my schedule. I take it in, and after a few hours of tearing down the door, removing the glass, the tech looks at the second replacement glass, and finds another flaw! He then has to put my door back together with the old glass and order a new one. This time, they leave my truck sitting in the sun (100 degrees) without using my sunshade...which causes my dash cam to warp in half, ruining my dash cam! I can't really get that mad because I did leave "valuables" inside the vehicle, which they have no responsibility for.

So, I've got an appointment for a third chance at getting good glass from Ford next Wednesday.

WTF happened to quality being job #1? FordService

Why don't the tech's check the replacement glass before spending hours working on the vehicle?
Why didn't the factory check the glass before sending it to the dealership?

I'm glad I had my front window tinted, and UV protectant on the dash, or that sumbich would be warped too!

Why does no one do their job with pride anymore?

If everyone cared about each other as much as that damn Cecil the Lion, America would be such a better place.

FYI, Anyone taking your truck in for service, needs to cover their dash with a towel or suffer the same damage as many others!
