My platinum has rain sensing wipers and they do recognize the intensity of the rain & adjust their speed accordingly. Light mist, single wipe...regular ol rain, steady wiping...heavy downpour fast wiping. It is pretty sweet!
They can be turned on/off in the dash menu cluster thing...also has a courtesy wipe feature that wipes the windshield after carwash.

Regardless of which trim is purchased the Ford F-150 line-up is the best out there. You will love a Lariat or a loaded XLT, lots of people do...BUT I have yet to hear anyone I know of have regrets about their Platinum, King Ranch or Harley Davidson (I don't know anyone personally with a LL). They are top of the line for a reason and if you can justify to yourself the extra money then that is all that matters. I didn't want to have any regrets, and I don't!

price difference
I just went through this exercise. The price difference, while substantial, is not as big as people are making it out to be when you equip them as closely as possible.
In my case the comparison was:
Platinum 4x4, ecoboost, nav, moonroof = $51,610
Lariot Screw 4x4, ecoboost, nav, moonroof, chrome package, plus package, 20" wheels, bucket seats, Trailer Brake Controller = $49,125
I was able to justify the $2,500 increase for the nicer interior, running boards, etc. But everyone needs to do what is right for them.
Picking it up on Thursday!!

You can get heated and cooled seats in a Lariat (heck, it's hard to find one without them) like I stated earlier in this thread. However, it doesn't include the REAR seats, which is what the poster you quoted said. I believe Platinum allows heated rear seats but not cooled
Reading > me
I think the only vehicles with cooled REAR seats are the Lexus LS460, BMW 7 series LWB and super high end like Rolls Royce and Maybachs.

I had to look and hate to put this thread further off topic but. Sean had the Canadian Ford compare site listed above. I just looked at the US site and it appears that in the US on 2011 F150's when comparing the FX4 and Limited neither offer the rain sensing wipers. The Canadian site only offers this option on the Platinum.
Rain sensing wipers! "Free" health care! WFT! Makes me wonder how they determine what options you get depending on where you live.
Sorry I am done:
