Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen,
I've been lurking here for some time, great information all around. Well, long story short I've been a Chevy guy all my life mainly because my father was a dealer, and some of my family members were/are still dealers going back to 1945. My dad finally recently retired and removed his stake in any of the dealerships, and coincidentally a Chevy left me stranded for the first time in my life this past summer. Long story short, it's time to try something new and I'd like to order a new F-150.
Here's where I need some help. I'm sorry if it's repetitive, you have to understand I am used to different codes, options, etc. as my whole life has been on the 'other side'. I am between two trucks, listed below. I have a 2018 Silverado 1500 LTZ/Z71 Chevy which most easily converts over to a F-150 Lariat/Sport/FX4 in looks and most options, however I am trying to decide between a 302A XLT and a 501A Lariat. When I asked my dealer to break down the differences, I get "Lariat is leather that's about it"...not very helpful.
The must haves/parallels are: Space White, Sport Appearance Pkg, 20" Dark Alloys, FX4, and Brake Controller.
302A XLT-Space White, FX4, XLT Sport Appearance Pkg, 3.5 Eco, 4x4, 20" Dark Alloys, Spray-in Liner, Pwr back window, Brake Controller, B&O Sound. $57000
501A Lariat Mid-Space White, FX4, Lariat Sport Appearance Pkg, 3.5 Eco, 20" Dark Alloys, Spray-in Liner, Brake Controller. $60505
So what am I getting for ~$3000 more dollars other than leather in the real world? Is sport cloth comparable to a pleather insert or is it cloth cloth? If that's the case, I do want a leather-y surface at least 50/50 and that might be enough to push me to a Lariat. I am picturing the XLT Explorer Sport seats in the XLT sport F-150 but I might be off base...
Thank you for any/all help you may provide.
