I know its not an XLT or Lariat but I just leased a 2019 STX Supercab demo (4400 miles on it) with $3250 in rebates on it. Put about $4500 down. 36 months with 12,000 mi/yr. My lease payment is an unbelievable $170.19/month, all my warranties and mileage start at that 4400 miles as my zero. . It ain't a Lariat, but the STX is pretty nice value optioned well for a basic truck and I am very happy for the money I spent.

I had no idea either....went looking for a brand new 2019 2.7 Ecoboost in either Lightning Blue or Magnetic. Dealer had one of each, the Magnetic being a demo and was equipped a little better than the Blue one. When he told me I could get a hell of a deal on the demo, I listened. Payment turned out to be about 60% of the standard payment for the zero mile and it had a sprayed in bed, tailgate step and a couple other options over the Blue one too. When I heard the payment discount...I jumped! It was a right time, right place deal.

Lease the XLT if you plan on turning it in - lease the Lariat with a good buyout at the end of you may keep it.
Yes - XLT will cost less- but you cannot easily get leather or a sunroof on an XLT. Lots of little options standard on the Lariat that make life easier.

Good point, but my local dealership had a white XLT with brown leather and a panoroof

My 2017 XLT 302A, every option but Pano and FX4, was $390/mo for 24 Months, 13,500 miles/yr
My 2019 Lariat 502A, every option but Pano, including the power running boards and all that good stuff, is $490/mo for 24 Months, 15,000 Miles/Yr.
No money down, just available rebates and A-Plan. Ford makes leasing an F-150 extra nice because after your first F-150 lease you get a really good F-150 lease renewal rebate. You get lease renewal rebates from any Ford, but the F-150 rebate is the largest. Makes going to a Lariat a lot easier after having the XLT. Also even though the Lariat rebates are often less than XLT, the Lariat residual is higher by 2-4% depending on cab and 4x4/4x2. That helps close the gap on leasing and people often overlook it in favor of rebates, even though 4% of $60k is $2400. Rebates and residual should be considered when it comes to a lease as that determines your payment in the end.
Obviously the Lariat will still be more, but maybe not as much as you think. My Lariat is $100/mo more, but keep in mind that's with more miles and significantly more equipment. I could have targeted a 501A Lariat and been at the same price as my XLT.
