Why can you get the 20" wheels as an option/upgrade with the 2.7L engine on the XLT's.. but you CANNOT get the 20" wheel UPGRADE on the UPGRADED LARIAT with a 2.7L engine???

For the life of me cannot understand this? I've searched everywhere looking for an answer... Talking only about the 2.7L engine. You can get the 20's on a super crew XLT.. but you cannot get the 20's on a super crew lariat (both with 2.7 engine).

 

Maybe they don't want the Lariat to ride like a cement mixer and don't care about the XLT.

 

Bubbabud you didn't read it all the way. You can get 20's on the lariat, but it appears not with the 2.7. My 3.5 has them.
Why, can't help ya.

 

I just tried to build a 2.7/supercrew/lariat and add the 20's on ford.com.. and NOW it lets me... it has NEVER before allowed... nor have I ever seen a 2.7L Lariat with 20" wheels.... could be a fluke it's allowing as I can't find a lariat anywhere that's a 2.7 Lariat with 20's... I would think most people that want a lariat would want 20's?? or at least 1/2 of them (not looking to get into the whole 18's or 20's debate).. Just wondering why Ford isn't putting 20's on the 2.7L lariats...

 

Just for the heck of it I just went to Ford.com and it let me add the 20's to the Lariat
Screw with the 2.7.

 

Got to be the seat coolers.. Check to see if it still comes with them,,, maybe Ford fixed them like the gallons used... Removed them.

 

I thought it was only 2015 Lariats that couldn't get the 20s with the 2.7 ecoboost. Just like the 502 package is now available on the 2.7 and wasn't in 2015. I would have gotten them if it was possible on mine.

 

Actually they changed their mind and you still can't get a 502A with the 2.7 no mater what size wheels you want.. Unless they changed it again..

 

Anything to do with the towing package? I know some options only come with the 17" or 18" wheel option. It may be the MAX Trailer Tow Package.

Another interesting note found in my research:
1. You are limited to a 5000 lb. trailer tow limit from the hitch with or without the tow package if you DO NOT have a weight distributing hitch.

2. You are limited to 36 sq. ft. of exposed frontal area while towing without a trailer tow package. This includes the truck so no more than 6' x 6' of exposed surface to air resistance.

Every time I tried to build both XLT and lariat did not have the tow packages. Now it lets you build. But never has before and I've never seen a 2.7l lariat with 20s.
