I'm comparing a standard equipped '23 Lariat Luxury w/ 360 with the standard equipped '25 Lariat. The 4K tow package is not standard on either. What "functional upgrades" are there? My '23 Lariat came with 18" wheels, not 17".
As the title shows I am only talking about the Lariat. The 360 Camera and backup assist are standard on the '25 Lariat. The price increase I am referring to is the price increase for the Area 51 (old name) paint.
The bedliner and ACC were never included in either the '22 or '23 Lariat (pre covid or post covid). Spray in bedliner was always an option and you had to add the CoPilot 360 + option to the Lariat to get ACC.
In consideration of changing from a 2023 Lariat to a 2025 lariat I came up with this chart of my personal assessment of the differences between the two versions and do they justify +$10k.
Are there any differences I've missed and feel free to offer opinions of change "values".

The meaning of A/C has changed. People relate Air Conditioning with cooling however many companies now use the term to describe any type of "conditioning" of the air, such as cooling, heating, dehumidifying etc.
I had my left side replaced two days ago. When I told the service advisor (who owns a Mav) that I believed the problem was the CV axle he said that issue is usually caused by "lifting" the vehicle. He was surprised to find out that mine was broken and I did not lift my truck
