I know this sounds silly but you can always put the cloth seat covers on. The XLT just opens up more options driveline wise. If you are getting 4X4 then stepping to the Lariat is pretty smart.

Also, I know there is no 501A in XLT. The jump to a 501A is really worth it when you start looking at the small things. Cooled seats, 4A, power mirrors, memory seats etc.

How do I get rid of these headlights though?

Trust me, once you drive one at night you'll understand. They're absolutely amazing. While the LED reflectors are pretty good, the projectors are a huge step up. Sadly, I was forced into a 501A bc I needed 6 seats so couldn't get them.

Mine has B&O unleashed and well. it sucks, lol. In fact Tuesday I had a 24 escape low trim only option was tech package for a loner & it sounded as good, lol
I only bought the truck for other goodies.
In the stereo defense this is my 3rd B&O and had the Sony before it....they all need to be replaced

I think OP is referring to the entire front end, I too prefer the look of xlt over higher trims. But functional wise, the led projectors are amazing from what I heard & see.

I agree with the headlights.

Heck the reflector ones in the lower F150s are night and day different from the 21-23. Much improved

You guys have me narrowed down to the XLT with cloth for around $55k with dealer discounts or a Raptor at $80k Not sure I need the Raptor, might be fun to get an XLT and build it up with suspension, wheels, tires, etc

501a is a Lariat trim. Honestly, I see no value added in the 303 Xlt trim. You are better off going to the Lariat.

I never learn from mistakes. If you can swing the raptor, just do it. Much easier to build a built platform!
