Ever heard of a "Platinum Limited" Trim Package?

Tried the Ford ETIS site but it says it's off line - will try later. Went to look at the truck today and damn if it isn't badged properly as a Platinum with "LIMITED" down the side of the bed. I got the VIN from him. Will investigate further. The owner says it was one of about 750 made. It has the 3.5L EB also, not a 6.2L like Limited's came with.
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”?

Are you sure it’s not a Lariat Limited? They came with the 6.2L V8 only and as the name suggests it was a “limited” production run in 2011&2012. Normally pearl white in color with a color matched grille and rims with a short bed. Usually will have some blue leather on the seats as well. Owner may just call it wrong and not know.

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
