Default Difference between the F150 Lariat vs Harley Davidson model

How can you tell the difference between the F150 Lariat vs Harley Davidson models? Dealer tells me the model I have is the Harley Davidson?

Gauge cluster will tell you pretty quickly. Lariat literally says Lariat, Harley says Harley, right on the Speedo.

Ultimately a Harley is just a rebadged Lariat as far as I know.

See my response in the running board thread. Your truck is not a Harley. Looks like a Lariat but has STX/XLT wheels.

Not sure, but I think I read somewhere that the Harleys were all wheel drive.

This is his truck he posted it in another thread. It's not a Harley.

Agreed. And FAR from being one.

The HD edition had a billet-style grille (meant to evoke chopper brightwork), 22-inch forged aluminum wheels and plenty of Harley badges inside and out. It also had weird a weird trim color, somewhere in between orange and red... salmon, perhaps? If you had a HD version, you'd definitely know it -- that's the whole point of the HD edition.

2004 and 2005 models were F250/350. 2006 it became an F150 again.

I'm not sure it was standard, but the HD was the only F150 model that offered it, and really the only thing other than cosmetics that differentiated from other F150 models. There was an '09 we looked at a few weeks ago and it was AWD.

That's not even a Lariat. Lariat has 2-tone paint and alloy wheels amongst a host of other things.

You're not entirely wrong. The 10th gen HD Editions had a supercharged 340-horsepower V-8. In 2007, Ford offered a seriously powerful supercharged version of the truck as a mid-year limited release. Only available in 2WD configuration, it put out 450hp and 500 lb-ft of torque from the Saleen supercharged 5.4L V8 (the most powerful truck Ford ever offered). The '08 model offered a supercharged version for the 10th anniversary HD model. In 2011 they came with w 6.2L rather than a 5.4L.
