Do I really need the XLT Lux package? 🧐

[MaverickAngler]

The Dave Ramsey fan in me is wondering if I really need the added luxury package. Anyone else in the fence for cost alone?

Definitely. I already had to go XLT for the cruise control, and personally the only benefit for the Lux was going to be back seat cup holders and armrest. Which I'll never be using haha

So not worth it for me

Worth it for me because I really like a heated steering wheel and seats, but also because the spray in liner and hitch would be added anyway. I get a few bonus items that I may never use but can live with. Really wanted the proximity key entry and push button start, and also like the Active X seats, but would have to get the Lariat Lux package and that pushes into the mid $30s. Not going there, so XLT Lux w FX4 gives me a lot for $4000 less.

Yes.

A lot of that answer depends on where you live. If I lived in a warmer climate I would probably have passed it over but since I get enough of a real winter (A few months of a.m. temps below freezing) I really can use the heated seats, steering wheel, mirrors and windshield wiper defroster.

Speaking about needs, you don't "need" syrup on your pancakes. Does the syrup make it more enjoyable, absolutely...

Yes, I'm never getting a car without automatic climate control ever again. I will get whatever package it takes just for that.

Dave Ramsey syndrom will save you money, but steal enjoyment, and then you're dead, watched it happen to a friend. Tight ass died and his son-in-law ended up with tall that money he saved. Live life!!!! I almost died in my 20's, so I don't let enything keep me from doing or buying things I can afford.

Dave Ramsay’s advice is for the financially illiterate.

Personal choice! If you want it get it! Some other features in the package we like and others not so much. Take it if that's what you want and can live with other options go for it. We went with first edition wanted moon roof an 18 inch black wheels along with tonneau cover. I'll live with it. Priced it out with first edition and only saved a couple $100 buck is why we did it.

I think if anything, Lux package 1st before 360.

You get the spray in, full size spare tire, tow hitch, two outlets with usb. Plus the bed tie that I couldn't option on XL. I could careless about the heated features but it's nice that it's included as well.

I priced my XL well within XLT territory with those separate add ons. I figure, the added wheels makes it more enticing to go up a trim. my neighbor has an old school Ford Ranger with steelies and it's covered with rust. Since, I'm keeping the truck at least 10 years, might as well get comfy.

You guys have helped me decide to keep my luxury package reserved unchanged. Thanks!

I have a 2023 Maverick EB Lariat. It was a retirement gift to myself for working 50 years. So I went with the Lux pkg when I ordered. I wanted all the bells and whistles to pamper my self. My first new vehicle that I owned. Had company vehicles for 45+ years so I went all out on my new vehicle. Not sorry I did cause I love the truck. Didn’t really need anything bigger and am very happy I went the Eco Boost route, had 2 Company Ford Escapes with that engine and was happy with both.

If you want it and can afford it, get it. I have all that I need right now and I am expecting more. Previous post about how you will eventually leave this earth is so true. Set your kids up with something, then get what the hell you want. Spend time with the wife. Go places. Do things. If you are over 55 and have decent savings, now is the time to let your money work for you. Have fun with it. Donate time somewhere for a cause you believe in. Smile!! Your still here!! And I would guess (if you are like alot of us in here) you have lost many a close friend over the last 10 to 15 years of your life. I went from 52 years of age to a now 66 in a blink of any eye!! You've paid your dues, you blessed society with your work, now go have some fun! Bless you sir, go have some fun!!

Look at what you get vs other vehicles too. Mav starts cheap but are other vehicles a better deal with the same options?

We thought so- '23 Lariat w/ Lux package (although we didn't get as many options as it comes with now, to our sad face (dealer forgot to check boxes when it changed from '22 order)).
