I dunno... I'm not quite sure I believe this. Seems equally likely this could be a instagram/social media publicity stunt. I mean, really... the installers, the factory QC people, the dealer prep guys, the salesman and the buyer ALL fail to notice and flag this? Suspect.

It’s not about whether the post is real or not, it’s about the friends we made along the way.

Don't tell Ford- they'll make it a "package."

Wayyy back in the early 90's we used to receive GMC trucks with things like Chevrolet center caps or sometimes horn buttons. Not quite as egregious as this. And, also the assembly lines were still not the technological wonders they are today. This is still a real possibility.

Given how different the seats are, I can see this. At least with the Bronco example the seats might look the same in the right light.

Imagine the dealer wringing their hands if this went to dealer stock. We don't do ADM but it will be 5k more if you want the "matching seat package."

If lariat seats where in the pick list, or were labeled wrong, I can see how it can happen. Lots of "that's weird, but it matches the paperwork for this build so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ."

But at the same time I could see the owner finding the lariat seats on fb marketplace and thinking it would be a nice mod for pets in the back or something and think it would be funny to post online saying it came like that.

Either way, it is a nice touch.

This reminded me of my '77 Firebird, I ordered it with the standard vinyl seats and when I picked it up the first thing I noticed was the driver seat was vinyl and the passenger seat was the optional velour. The salesman just laughed and said which one would you like us to replace. I was thinking how could no one notice this? At least those seats were the same color but the Maverick's really sticks out like a sore thumb.

I guess he could just check ebay and see if he can find a set of matching front seats. Could be a relatively cheap upgrade.

Solution: put seat covers on the back seat.

Question: Was there anything else from Lariat installed on this XLT?
In the Reddit post he started that it was only the back seats.
