You can't see me
I recently purchased a 2019 Platinum 701A over a 2019 900A Limited for the following reasons:
Limited has:
If none of that is important to you, purchase the Limited
Limited has:
- Higher initial purchase price
- Less towing capacity
- Not available with 53C Max. Trailer Tow Package
- Not available with 55A FX4 Package
- Not available with 54W Trailer Tow Mirrors
- Tailgate step is not a std. feature of the 900A Pkg further increasing the cost of the limited
- Tray Style Floor Liners are optional as the 900A is not available with the 55A FX4 Package further increasing the cost of the limited
- Limited not available in Blue Jean, Magma Red or Metallic exterior paint color
If none of that is important to you, purchase the Limited

To me, the Limited is the replacement for the Mark LT... in other words, a glorified grocery getter for the bearded, man-bun-wearing hipster that needs a truck to be "manly" (but typically can't change his own tire).
If you want a truck for towing/hauling/etc., you won't want the Limited.
If you want a truck for off-roading and the HO engine, buy a Raptor.
Otherwise, buy the Limited. You'll look uber-pimpin' cruising around the Whole Foods parking lot!

To me the main difference with going to a Limited is the engine. I test drove a Raptor, and I didn't think the engine was that much different.
To answer your question, I would say no.

Everyone feels their truck choice was the right choice .. News Flash... that's why you made that choice ... Ford has 7 F150's to choose from .. something for everybody .. enjoy your choice and stop telling others they made the wrong choice

The stx is the best f150 for the money. Heated katzkin can be added for $1600. If you need all those options, hey its your money. Go right ahead and waste it. Lord knows Ive wasted enough, I own a damn boat. Ive owned some of the most luxurious vehicles and I dont miss the overpriced options. You can tell yourself you need this and that. You dont. Ever look at what compound interest in investments with an 8% return can do with 10k over a 10 year period? It turns it into $20,000. Something to think about.

I got the Platinum and was a little disappointed that I didn't get the HO engine the Limited has. But then, like many above already pointed out, I realized that the Limited tows way less. The main reason I was upgrading from my '12 FX4 was because we tow a camper a lot in the summers. Sure, I don't need all 13,000# of the max possible, but I think it's weird that the most expensive truck with the "high output" motor tows significantly less.
But, they ARE cool!

At least the new Limited has something going for it, which is the engine. I drove a 2018 since there was no Platinum available, and I made it a very short test-drive because it rode like crap with the 22s (yes, tire pressures were fine). Wheels were awful looking IMO, no FX4 or max tow available (as stated), and the interior was to barf for. Even the new ones have a 'feminine' beige interior, but at least it's better than baby blue. Just for the lack of options stated, I wouldn't even consider one, but at least Ford kept all other trims, so there's more to choose from, which is fine with me. For me a fully-loaded Platinum in white/black was all I needed. I was offered a Limited at the same price of my Platinum and declined, but the new one is definitely more expensive due to the engine upgrade, and at least more unique.
