Definitely not a limited. If you look at the brochure and look at the limited standard options, that truck is missing quite a few. Did it have the laser engraved center console plaque saying limited and what # out of what # it was and the vin engraved? Two tone leather interior custom only to the limited edition?

You can check this video out for more.



Also,
What's the vin?

That is a Platinum with Lariat Limited rims and badges. It was 6.2L only so having the 3.5 EcoBoost means it can’t be the Lariat Limited. It’s a fake, odd someone did that lol.

When I bought my 2011 Platinum, I immediately swapped the eggcrate grille for the 6-bar. Guess I should have traded that off as a Platinum XLT. Honestly, best part about it was I could easily spot my truck in a sea of white 2009-2014 F150s.

Agree, it's definitely not a Limited. VIN is 1FTFW1ET2BFC97404 - So, looks like it is a Platinum with Limited rims/tires (22") and the Limited badge on the bed. Look carefully at the placement of the LIMITED lettering relative to the rear tail light. In the video you sent, the lettering starts a good 6-8" away from the front edge of the tail light lens. On the picture I posted, the lettering goes right up to the front edge of the lens. It's definitely been added. I think I will pass on this one. Don't want to deal with a hokey re-badging job.

Definitely just a 4x4 platinum.
I would also not buy this due to the 26 gallon fuel tank....36 is the only way to go! As well as the 3.31 axle ratio.

Wasn’t there a limited that was blue jean? Had those polished aluminum 6 spoke wheels in 22”?

I have a '13 Lariat Ltd./6.2

No, the seller is bent on it being a Platinum Limited - not a Lariat Limited. I qualified him on the difference. Claims he has proof - the original window sticker. Claims only 750 made. I'm moving on. It's not on my radar any more as an option. Thanks all for the info. Appreciate it.

The 4x4 sticker is also a huge give away. The limiteds and platinums only had the chrome words if I remember. No 4wd stickers
