Got my window sticker today! Lariat 502A SuperCrew with 2.7L. Ordered in October 30th and scheduled for build on January 27th. Ordered from a smaller dealership in SW Ontario.
Managed to take a look at a Lariat 502A Sport with the 2.7L today. Only other options were the power tailgate and 20” wheels. Was pleasantly surprised with 1348 lbs of payload. My spec, without the power tailgate, should come in a bit higher yet.
Also, what a nice truck!
If anyone comes across a Lariat 502A SuperCrew with the 2.7, I’d be quite interested in seeing the payload sticker. I’m hoping the lack of moonroof or ProPower onboard on my build will help to keep it around 1300.
This walk round video seems to show the Lariat Sport running boards. And it looks like they are the “FORD” ones you were hoping for! Decent view at 1:40. Disappointed to see they don’t go all the way back to the rear wheel well like the power deploying running boards do.
I saw this walk around of a Lariat Sport on YouTube. It doesn’t seem to have the interior work surface, but the folding shifter is still there. Shifter action can be seen at 7:58.
