2023 XL/XLT PSA - No ambient lighting

[blackb13]

Are some of you misinformed?

since when was the blue ambient lighting included with xlt? It’s a lariat feature

Don't think so.
Since 2022? https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/ambient-lighting-question.19032/

How easy was it to take off?

Pulls straight towards you. There are 4 clips, you can see them in the picture.

It’s only blue? What was it that was different, maybe shined in more places?

Lariat adds ambient lighting to the front footwells and front interior door handle area.

that isn’t what people normally refer to as ambient lighting or what the order guide is referring.

go look at a lariat. A lot of the cabin lights up blue I had it in my mustang. That’s what the order guide refers to.

right, that is what ambient lighting is being referred to on the lariat. I wouldn’t call a small little blue light near the console ambient lighting

Anyone one offer different colored ambient lightning blubs ? The ice blue isn't bad, but its blue plastic, blue lights, something other than blue might be nice.

Regardless of what you would call it, the small light near the console is what the 22 XL and XLT had and what OP is referring to and asking if others with a 23 XL and XLT notice is missing.

I hear you, but it's literally called that by Ford. That's why I specified XL/XLT in the thread title.

Lol right, just like I (and many others) would call cyber orange, school bus yellow, but guess what Ford calls it...

My xlt hybrid had ambient. The new tremor does not

except your XLT doesn’t and it’s exactly why the naming convention matters.

but… the name literally matters? Half the users in here are saying and thinking that xl and xlt ever came with the ford named “ambient lighting” from the order guide. They never did.

this is like saying I have ambient lighting in a car because the flip down mirror has a light. They are different lights is all I was saying as to not confuse people.

Ambient lighting doesn't have to mean entire vehicle lit up. Our titanium escape had it every where. The mav had it in the console. It's still ambient lighting.

Well to be fare to us XLT folks the UI on the infotainment screen does call it Ambient Lighting even if all it does is control the brightness of the led located under the center console. If anyone is to blame for the confusion surrounding this I would think Ford should be front and center not the end user.........

I understand that. I was just explaining my original confusion on what the topic was about is all.

I thought they didn’t have ambient in the way the order guide says and they don’t. Only Lariats do. The others thought the opposite. They’re both correct, just referring to different things. I was just explaining my original confusion
