I continue to appreciate the knowledge that everyone is willing to share on this forum. I've got a very nice 11 SC 4X4 XLT that I should just keep, 21K miles, I'm just itching to update to a Screw, my excuse is the grandkid's car seats 
Spending this kind of cash makes me nervous, especially when it is very far from necessary. Like I shared in a previous post, this very well could be my last truck as I contemplate retirement hopefully in a few years.

The XLT's are a more competitive price point that drive the majority of F150 sales. Dealers have more XLT's than they do higher trim levels. Lariats and higher trim levels don't normally need the deep discounts as the buyers are not driven to purchase by discounts. They want the high trim level and will pay for it. Ford's cash cow.
Higher trim levels you will pay more for upfront, however your resale value is always much better as there are fewer of them used on dealers lots. Most dealers have tons of used XLT's and very few Lariats.
Purchase an XLT with $10k off is Great until you go to trade it. The trade value is then measured against a New XLT with $10k + in discounts.
Just another way to look at it!

I'll follow up with this, searching for a new truck I've found a 2016 Lariat that appears by the window sticker to have been built on 11/15 and an MSRP of $55,565.00. Considering the length of time on the dealer's lot, incentives, and X Plan, what should I expect to be able to buy it for?
I've been low balling a 1/16 mfg Lariat ($54k MSRP my offer $42,500 + TTL) for 2 months now and all I'm hearing back from the dealer is the rebates will update on 1/4/17, and see how they look then. They aren't budging. They came back with $46K. While not a bad price, we're well into the 17's MY and with a mid-cycle refresh (and potential diesel option) for the 18's, and a couple of grand more (less rebates on those) I may just end up waiting.
If you're looking for a basic 500a Lariat (I want a 501a), this one is a steal at $36k (if the price is legit). I've never seen a Lariat that low.

I heard the same argument about buying a Tundra. You spend less buying a ford upfront and in turn it is worth less. That is the same argument for buying a BMW vs buying a Ford Focus. I would rather spend less initially vs paying more and hoping that i could get more money out of it when you sell. There is no guarantee you will get the money back. The Lariats have a higher resale value due to less rebates but you will spend significantly more money purchasing it and in turn will likely lose more money overall. Even with a better resale value you will be unlikely to recoup the money you spent on the options with a Lariat.

It's too bad these Lariat aren't just 501a sports with no other options. That would knock about 4K off that $54K price and you may be able to get them at 42k. Which is basically what I am looking for.
And bigcitymike, that's my reason for wanting a Lariat. That push button is so convenient.
