Lariat Ultimate vs Platinum Tremor

[Velvet Elvis]

What’s the difference in the headlights? I have a 2024 Lariat ultimate currently, and those headlights are great, is this one of those “cost savings” things that they loved to the plat instead of the lariat

The platinums have euro style headlights that move with the steering wheel, and dip when you're following another vehicle so they don't take it in the rear view mirror.

Projector leds, instead of reflector leds.

I will say, I do love the adaptive/ cornering action. Granted they are 20 years late to the game. Loved them in my 2005 M5. I was happy to hear the new trucks had it.

i was in the same debate recently. ended up with the platinum.

Is there really a difference between $90k and $100k?

Go big or go home.

I wouldn't want a 4,800 "new" vehicle

I missed that part.

It's not legal to call a vehicle with more than 1,000 miles on it "new".

At least in my state.

They need to drop That fucker well BELOW the lariat price.

Seeing as how it's a USED VEHICLE.

The most important accessory in any vehicle and the one you interact with every time is the seats. everything else can be modified later. The KR and Plat have much better seats.

That was my thinking between SO and HO. What’s another $2500? Or whatever it was. Didn’t really matter at that point

My 24 Lariat Ultimate has the max recline seat option which is the platinum/KR seats without massage.

Do you people sleep in your trucks or what?!

Depends on how she takes what I say at dinner.

 

[majorbison]

Did both exact trucks, I forget the seat massager sometimes but I use the shit out of the power tailgate

 

[Velvet Elvis]

Yes

Very often.

It's the only reason i went platinum.

Yeah I was cautious about this as well, large and reputable dealer, take that for what its worth though. Price comes out to be pretty close. I typically put 40k miles a year on a truck.

Sounds like a good deal if your comfortable with it.

That's a lot of miles/ year.

I thought i drive a lot. I'm exactly 11 months in...

@Velvet Elvis we bought our trucks around the same time. I’m 11k and that includes a trip to Iowa, Yellowstone and the Black Hills of SD!

This guy is claiming 40k/ year.

That's incredible.

 

[Velvet Elvis]

Id take the platy if they throw in a free or greatly discounted extended warranty.

But only if it had the max recline

 

[ShaneC]

I drive a LOT back and forth from PA to NY, about 250-300 miles round trip, typically 2-3 times a week. Trying to reduce this to once a week though.

Not sure if it has max recline, I did get to test drive it today and found the seats to be much more comfortable than expected. Its not a platinum plus so the seats are not the SUPER nice ones but still good.

Is that really sleeping? That’s why trucks come with beds!
