Is there a difference? Plat vs Lariat?
Same, I thought the massage option was a gimmick, took a 2400km trip (14 hours continuous driving each way) and had the massage function on multiple times. I now throw it on at least once a week.
The 2020s with chrome package came with the tailgate appliqué. As somebody mentioned, you could order one without the chrome package to avoid the appliqué. However, most of the trucks without the chrome package that I came across when looking for a KR were either rentals or dealer orders and missing certain options like adaptive cruise, which I wanted.
The Platinum has the Multi-Contour front seats (massage/heat/cool) when the Lariat has just heat/cool seats. Heated rear seats with inflatable safety belts are standard on the Platinum, optional on the Lariat. Platinum has lighted scuff plates that a Lariat doesn't get. The Platinum has real wood inserts while the Lariat gets fake wood. BLIS, LED headlamps are standard on platinum, optional on Lariat. Both have power fold mirrors. Platinum gets smokers package, Lariat is optional. The Platinum has different badging. Just about everything else is optional equipment on each.
A well optioned Lariat 502A with Tech Package (like my truck) is very similar to the Platinum less the badging and Multi-Contour front seats.
