Has anyone ever regretted getting a lariat?

I went one step further and got the Limited lariat hybrid. Very happy with my choice. Lol

Is it just me or do those badges look a little bit off-level vs the bed trim?

PS: Absolutely no regrets vs our Lariat, my regret would've been buying another trim w/o the extra features

I went high-end on the maintenance and service agreements as well stretching them both to 10 years with no deductibles they’re great if you want to resell a vehicle and I plan on keeping it for 20 years anyway I bought most of the Ford aftermarket products to jazz it up I think it’s the prettiest truck I’ve seen and I’ve had people tell me it looks like a $50,000 truck. Love my 45 miles a gallon I don’t have to tow anything thankfully.

Nope. At 48yrs old my '23 Hybrid Lariat is my first NEW car. Love it!
I just wish they had AWD hybrid in 2022. Way expensive now!

Absolutely not. Adaptive cruise and lane centering make me hate driving way less.

'25 Lariat Hybrid, no regrets

Push button start and the B&O sound system would have been nice in my 23 XLT. Other than that, I'm happy with my Ford buggy.

Ordered the 2022 Lariat Hybrid. Took 9 months to get. $32k . It was an excellent pickup truck with all the bells and whistles In the Velocity Blue color. I did trade it in recently at 69,000 miles for a 2025 Lariat Hybrid. I was going to wait but the Eruption Green wasn't coming back in 2026. So, I found a 2025 Lariat Hybrid in Eruption Green and went for it. $42k. I got a generous trade-in from the Ford dealer and love the new Mav. Love the Eruption Green. Upgrades for me besides the color are a Sunroof, All wheel drive, and towing up to 4k. So, worth the extra $$.

I thought I was gonna regret the pleather, but I'm not, it's nice, had some hot doys and didn't get swampass.

It is super chill to drive a distance, then mash the gas and it's like a Jaguar with comedy lawnmower digital engine effects.... heh no, not that bad, just makes "big 4 cyl" noises, as might be expected as 2.0 used to be considered the limit for civilised 4s for passenger vehicles. Just a tad disappointed that it doesn't make that tooktooktook kind of hollow valvecover sound like old smaller ford engines used to.... guess 'coz it's a Mazda.

Thought I was gonna regret the 19s, like you'd feel too many pavement cracks through the tires, but nope, they're fine too.

So I am finding nothing to complain about so far. Cue gramophone recording of Edith Piaf...

You can always turn it off.

You can always turn it off.

The question was whether we regretted buying a lariat. My answer is no due to these additional features. So no, I do not want to turn them off.

I don't regret mine one bit! Its a very nice reminder of the car version I drove in 1971 for my road test and passed on the first try despite lack of power steering and brakes. Granted, it didn't have all of the cool features the current one has but it still invokes many memories.

Not only is it a Lariat but it's also a First Edition. I hope my kids are smart enough to realize the value of it when they inherit it.

I'm not gonna lie. I got the XLT because it was as much truck as I could afford. But if I had the money, I would have gotten a fully loaded Lariat in a heartbeat just for the adaptive cruise control and the faux leather seats. I know it isn't real leather but it's 100x more convincing than the vinyl that was common the 1970s. Anyway, I'm just a bit jealous of the Lariat owners. Maybe next time, I'll be able to get one too
