i configured both trim levels on cars direct dot com. The Lariat has eld with the off-road package.
I think the perforated Lariat seats are a little nicer and help prevent swamp butt.
The only differences i can finds are color schemes (chrome, black, woodgrain), and cooled, perforated seats.

They are both nice trucks. I test drove a 2011 Lariat 5.0 with the off road pkg and was very impressed. I went FX4 because I don't care for chrome or wood-trim of any color and I like more of a blacked out look. I've driven for years without cooled seats and I've been fine without them. Plus I can't see myself using them more than 3-4 months of the year in Colorado, if that. When it's hot enough to use those seats I'm usually on my Harley.

I just ordered the fx4 with those options but candy red, guess I didn't look close enough when I choose the Fx luxury package with seats only being heated. I have the cloth seats in my 04 and liked them but never had leather and wanted the nav and remote start so decided on the luxury package, well I was worried the seats would be hot in the summer but figured the cooling seats would help. Now I am wondering if I should have gone the Lariat route, do those of you with leather feel the cooling seats would be a deal breaker on a new f150?
cooled seats are not as cool as i thought. the other thing is the compressor used to operated the heat/cool seats int he lariat. it is noisy. the FX4 is not.

the only thing i liked better on my 09 lariat vs my 2011 Fx4 was the fold down arm rest in the back seat. the FX4 does not have it. otherwise i like the FX4 better.

Are you stating this because there is no cooling compressor in the FX4; thus it is more quiet (less noisy) than the Lariat?
