2010 Lariat vs Platinum
#46
Another thing to keep in mind on the differance between a Platinum and a Lariat will be the resale value. My dealer believes from what he is seeing at the auction on the 2009 models I will come close to getting back the extra $3000.00 I paid for the Platinum when it comes time to trade because the demand for a used Platinum will be higher the the demand for a used Larait.

You should try selling it first. You'll easily get $4k more for your truck that way, if not more. I've never traded in a vehicle (I'm only 21, so its only been a couple lol). I had an '06 cobalt SS supercharged that I sold for $17k when the dealers were only going to give me $13.5k trade-in. And back when I sold my '02 reg cab, my trade-in value was only like $6k, but I ended up selling for $11k Just be patient and wait for someone to buy it. Only disadvantage is you could be without a vehicle for a little while unless you have one waiting for you on the lot.

The main difference is the Platinum is much fancier. Not worth it in my opinion. The Platinum has power running boards and comes with everything pretty well standard whereas you has to option the Lariat out to get the same items.
My buddy bought a Platinum and its beautiful, just too nice for what I use mine for....

ok can some one tell me a few things concerning the 2011 f150? first why is the king ranch not offere with the new 6.2L and why is FX4 not available on any trim like in the superduties. also what is the difference in the leather in the king ranch and platinum now? is the king ranch still the treated sattle bag leather from the previous years?
