Anyone who has seen the lariat have any thoughts on the leather vs previous gen?

I was semi let down in person. Mostly in the exterior and dash/console styling. Just didn’t look as cohesive as the 2015-20. It’s a nice truck, don’t get me wrong; just not what I was expecting.

@currybob Did they say anything about whether the PowerBoost can be mounted with a gooseneck hitch?

If you can give me an idea of dimensions forward of the rear axle that a goose neck hitch mounts, I will climb under one tomorrow with a tape measure and look. I climbed under one yesterday to look, and there is not a lot of space underneath that you can see straight up to the lower bed floor. Shielding, gas tank, driveshaft, exhaust, all in the way enough that it was very hard to see the bed floor from underneath. But I will try again for you I just don't know where the goose neck typically mounts relative to something I can measure off of, and all the trucks I've seen are the 5.5' bed. Were the 2020 Crew Cabs with the 5.5' bed capable of a goose neck hitch?

@currybob I'm not sure if anyone ever mounts a gooseneck hitch on a 5.5' bed - I wouldn't do it on less than a 6.5' because when you turn, the overhang would smash into the back window.

I'm reading that the hitch would normally be mounted on the center line of the rear axle, or slightly in front. And you need about 36" of clearance to the back window.

I cropped this photo to try and get a closer look. Based on the sign they have mounted on the frame and the base of that sign not touching the battery I would say it should work.

As already mentioned, do they put goose neck mounts on 5.5 ft beds??

I believe the covers are silver. I’m sure it is part of the B&O agreement so that it “stands out”. Just my 2 cents.

from what I understand they are all Brushed Aluminum to represent the Body of the truck,

Just more payload stickers with as much info as possible associated with the trucks!

Also I don't remember where it was mentioned but someone was curious about how flat the folding storage folds, if you can get an angle from the side to see the plane of the floor when collapsed....

If they have a Lariat Sport can you grab interior pics?

A member was trying to decide if they wanted the fold-down storage under the rear seat. I believe their question was: has the storage behind the rear seat been eliminated/does the rear seatback no longer fold down?

Any and all lariat interior pics would be great! Trying to decide on non-sport color.

Here's the vehicles they will have...
"We have an XL with STX package (2.7l ecoboost), XLT (3.5 l ecoboost), Lariat (2.5l ecoboost) and Limited (3.5l Hybrid)"

Here’s all the pics. Some of colors. All door stickers. Some interiors. Attempt to show thickness of folded storage bin thing (about 2.5-3 “fingers”...very scientific). The smaller side of seat folds down and looks like it has jack behind it (no real storage room); other side doesn’t fold down at all.

Excellent pics! That folding storage space is... thicc. I'm surprised it isnt like a half inch or so, looks like 1.5" maybe. Not a big deal to me since I either will fold the compartment "flat" to put my road bike in the cab, or will use it to partition groceries so they dont all fall everywhere. But it may matter to some that were counting on it being level. And nicely done checking if the rear backrests come forward, I think someone had asked about the "hidden" storage potential there.

 

[05RubiconLJ]

These are some excellent photos and I am sure they are going to be very helpful to those still making some decisions. For the foreseeable future I will have kids boosters in the back seat, so using the rear storage is going to be few and far between, as folding the seats up will be occasional at best. I am likely going to order it anyway, as we will use the truck for traveling and I can load those up when we pack out.
