I just got a 2012 FX4, blk on blk loaded out. My wife likes the wood, but I really like the overall look of the FX4. You can buy a replacement wood package for about $300. You might also consider the Lariat probably has a 355 gear, the FX4 has 373. Mine also has the ecoboost, which I absolutley like better every day.

New '13 F150 owner here---traded in my '06 F350 SCREW 6.0L Diesel
I started out wanting the FX4, but ended up with a fully loaded Lariat instead (with off-road).
The main reason for me was the FX4 did not have the rear fold down armrest, which for me became a huge deal (for some reason)....
I drove them both and have to say I LOVE my decision so far.
Maybe it is because I am getting older (over 40) but all the chrome looks really nice to me.

I know.....when I first discovered it, I was like F-that!!! Maybe it was because my F350 had it??
Who knows why or how that one little thing hit me like that and actually made me buy a truck with more options than I wanted, all over an armrest.
Regardless, I am loving this thing so far.....but am missing the power from my F350 (she was a tad tweaked
)

I went with the Lariat with Max Tow and Off Road Package, and the 501A package with rear view camera and trailer brake controller. I looked at the FX4 but didn't want the floor console with shifter in place of 20 seat in the front, and pay extra for it to boot. I have found the six passenger capacity useful. I tow an RV Trailer so I got the best options for towing. They have different styling. Stay away from slide in bed liner. I've read that they trap water/moisture which cause rust.
