Default Need help picking a truck

Well I looked at my local dealership today and they have a 14 limited 4 wheel drive for 46800. They also have a 14 Platinum 4 wheel drive for 46500. If yall had to pick which one would you pick and why. The only difference I can see between then is the limited has the 22 inch rims and the blue leather. I don't do a lot of towing but I do occasionally.

I'd say Plat if it has only 20's. couldnt imagine how stiff the 22" ride is and towing or a situation for 4wd in that low of a sidewall.

You haven't told us much about how you'll use it for or your shopping objectives. If you're serious about getting helpful responses, maybe clarify that and post links to specific trucks of interest at your local dealer.

I kind of like the limited better since there's less of them. Almost all the newer f150 in my town is a platinum or fx4. The limited is just kind of cool, not really my style but if you like them both then go limited.

That's a helluva price for a 14 limited, makes me wonder what's wrong with it tbh. Build price for limited 4x4 is around 54k give it take.

Limited, because Id never use it as a true truck anyways! Love the blue leather seats, lack of Plastic panel on tailgate like the Platty! Also the 22's look amazing on the Limiteds as well!

What do you tow when you tow "occasionally". And what does it weigh.

Your not going to have much in the way of payload with either model.
