Besides the power running boards and aluminum on the tailgate?

I'm sure I'll forget some, but this is from memory

- Embroidered backrests front and back with better leather
- Unique woodgrain around center stack and console
- Brushed aluminum appearing trim throughout console and dash
- Woodgrain appearing steering wheel
- Leather armrest & front door panel
- Power running boards
- Tailgate plaque
- Rain sensing wipers (Lariat might have that too)
- Motorized steering wheel (Lariat might have that too)
- Ambient lighting (again Lariat might have it)

Other things that are unique to it but that are also unique to other trim levels. Wheels, grille, lights, painted bumpers, etc.

The sales brochure highlights the differences between the models. Would recommend reviewing the year in question sales brocure for details.

The aluminum on the dash is actually real metal and not a painted plastic. Arm rests on the door panel in the front are real leather.

What do they mean by motorized steering wheel?
I have a 2012 Lariat Ecoboost loaded to the T except Power folding mirrors, and power running boards and a 3:31 rearend.
I couldn't justify the price differance. We bought the teuck a year ago. STICKER PRICE WAS 65,000$ And we got it for 33,000.

I thought I read somewhere once that the Plats also had a thicker windshield and more sound deadening material throughout making it quieter?

Oh and I don't have the power brake booster or the locking diff. So 3 things that's it.
