Maybe for you... I don't have that kind of cash and even if I did I could add mods for less than the price! I would skip lariat altogether and go straight for tremor if I had unlimited $ though. More bang for the buck.
While I agree with some of your other post about dealers adding the capability to increase price and that its a waste for many since they won't use it. However, for those that use it, like myself, or just need a little more than the standard package is rated for, then it Doubles the rated...
It is not just $745. You are forced to also get the $795 copilot package if you get 4k. Hence why it is a waste, if it was just 4k that would be a different story for sure!
What are you doing with this tiny thing to need a trans cooler? And if you install one after market, will be much cheaper. You can still not really tow any real trailers anyway! If it was a 5k limit that would be worth, but 4k is too low to validate spending all that money (most of which is for...
Most I found were around 3500-4000, true. I would not trust towing 4k with this tiny little unibody, even if ford tells me I can. 3500 is the limit, and again thats very few, niche, items. Maybe worthwhile for some, but the dealers chuck the option into every single car to drive up costs!
Well if all your using it for is commuting, errands, grocery getter, maybe some mulch a time or two a year, then yes your correct, you don't need 4k tow and probably don't even require a "truck".
If you do real "truck" stuff, want to pull a decent size travel trailer, pull a decent size boat...
The package includes mostly garbage aside from the towing increase. Plus, I wouldn't really trust longevity towing with such a small vehicle. Would kill the transmission!

But if you get2k off lariat, that’s like 1k more than his option or am I wrong?
4k tow is also a waste, but no it's still more than that.
