For the final time, let me simply my point to you:
I keep seeing this, but when I have the truck in eco mode and 4A, the power distribution graph shows power going to all four wheels all the time. Only time that power is cut to the front wheels is when I'm making a turn.
It sends power to all wheels all the time. It’s AWD
On a Powerboost, slippery mode eliminates regen. Mechanical? Not technically. But it is a more significant change than the traction control sensitivity, shift points, and accelerator responsiveness
The game never ends.
$10,000 is not correct. A 500A that has all your 302A has is only $2800 more. For that $2800 you could have had your 4A, led tails, full digital cluster, leather, cooled seats, and ambient lighting. Well worth the upgrade. Could get it $900 cheaper if you remove the console. Not too late to place another order and get what you wanted.
As addressed later on in this thread, that is true. But to achieve feature parity from my 302A to a Lariat, I’d need to get options that would push it much closer to that $10k.$10,000 is not correct.

Just to get the facts out there in case someone is on the fence between Lariat and XLT and not to be a d*ck, my 500A has the parking sensors. I believe they are a part of the Co-pilot assist 2.0, not the active package. Now the sport appearance would jack up the price, but all else should be the same. I can’t imagine what you could get on an XLT 302A that isn’t included in the 500A. The reason I mentioned the trade is because it is what I just did. Lost some $$ on dealer fees, but traded for $300 less than invoice, which is what I paid when I bought it 5 months ago. Good times to be indecisive.
You know what, you're right. I remembered threads about 502A Lariats not having the sensors unless you get the active package. Looking back, I see that 500A and 501A had them standard if you got the assist. I don't know what Ford is thinking there.
My understanding is that both are AWD and send power in 4A to all 4 wheels, varying the power % front to back as needed via electronically controlled clutch packs in the center diff/t case, but always some power to all wheels. As far as I know, the difference between a regular lariat and a tremor with hi-lock is the ability to also mechanically lock when going into 4Hi vs a regular lariat being an electronically locked 50/50 torque split that technically could overcome the mechanical ability of the clutches to hold and thus slip if you’re in a serious high torque situation
