Shouldn't the front seats in a Lariat 502A have Tilted Head Restraints?

I see your point. it is the small things that add up. I'd contact your dealer to get it sorted out. As a referance I have the 502A Pkg.
Yes, I have the 502A Pkg as well and there is no doubt in my mind that 502A comes with tilted headrests.
Unfortunately the dealer where I purchased the car won't be able to help because I am 1000 miles away from him. He told me to go to a dealer near me which I will do tomorrow am.
I know it's not the sales person or the dealership fault, it's all on Ford corp. who build these things like they do in freaking China. Sad.

My XLT 302A certainly doesn't have them. Sounds like a great feature!
Are you sure? My XLT 302a has them, I checked to make sure today.

So seems like Ford just put whatever the hell they feel like, no consistency.

I've never really had a head restraint I liked, but how about a heated shifter handle? :geek: ☺ lol
the heated steering wheel on my Lariat 502A is awesome, but i typically drive with my right hand resting on the shifter.. its freezing cold in the morning. First world problems I know ??

My XLT 302a has the adjustable head rests, up/down, and forward/backwards.

August build 502. No tilt. No unleashed either. I wonder if it's an unleashed thing with the 502.
I doubt it because other 502A owenrs without unleashed reported tilting, as well as 302A. Unleashed is not available in XLT.

Well I am man enough to admit when I am wrong. I do have them! I never had a car with fore-aft adjustable headrests before, never even knew they existed. Very cool. Thanks!!

I set in a 2021 Lariat months ago, months before ordering and I was able to tilt the head restraints. Mine don't. Am I missing something?
My father purchased a 2021 XLT 302a that was produced in Jan 2021, it has them. My 2021 XLT 302a produced in 11/21 does not have them. I noticed this same thing. It appears they dropped them along the way.

Yeah, definitely looks like they just through whatever they have. Idiots.

Thank you for your input on this.

I am 100% confident that I should have them and this situation does not make me very happy, to say the least. Looks like they release the truck with "missing parts" just for the sake of completing it and move on. I am pretty sure my truck is one of the last MY21 ones.

I'll wait to hear from more Lariat 502A owners before I contact Ford.
I have the 502A built 8/9/21 took delivery 10/20/21. Regular B&O stereo (no speakers in headrest) and mine do not tilt.

The order guide only shows them in KR and up. I guess it's a bonus if you got them in a Lariat or XLT.
