Dealer called and said he had a 23 lariat hybrid that the customer bailed on.

It was fully loaded..... Lux package, 360 asst. Moon roof, even loved the color!!!!

Was perfect....... bought it instantly with no haggling.....

Driving home and I'm like "what's up with this sun"? Then I realized there is not a drop of tint anywhere on this thing.

Is tint not an option? Who orders a fully loaded truck with no tint???

Just though it was odd!!!! Cool little truck though still.

So you are suggesting that the front door windows are exactly like the factory rear door windows?

Post a pic...

So per ford, the rear doors and rear window have a factory 30% tint built in. tint on the front doors and windshield tint tend to be illegal most everywhere else.

Extra tint is not an option. Have to do it separately. Got my front door windows to match rear and then windshield done. All that in ceramic looks great and does cut down on heat gain in summer

I would avoid using the sunroof. There is a little plastic clip in it that keeps the window from slamming and shattering when opening/closing. That little plastic clip moves with every use and will get so far pushed back into the mechanism, that the window will no longer be operational. The fix is over $2k as they have to pull out the whole sunroof to get to it.

That's dumb. Does the lariat at least have power folding mirrors?

Another reason I don't get sunroofs anymore. They are nice, but if you've ever needed one fixed... my gawd...

There was a huge amount of blow back for the air bag recalls from dealerships screwing up headliners and such, just imagine them working on a sunroof.

Dealer called and said he had a 23 lariat hybrid that the customer bailed on.

Yea it's pretty bad. Don't forget your sunstrip on the front window! Have them go about an inch below the "legal" line otherwise it won't even meet where your visors drop. They should line it up with the rear view mirrors console.

lol no.

Only $50k "mid size trucks" get those now days apparently.

INB4 the "you bought a budget vehicle" crowd chimes in about shaving features to save a penny.

I bought the nicest package available for a reason. If I wanted budget I would have gone with an XL...

Some states, including the P. R. of Vermont do not allow any tinting on windshields, front side windows and headlights and tail lights. So maybe, like those California mandates, they just make the vehicles to pass all 50 of the states.

@TacoTanium: No. Toys like that come with the higher end Rangers and F-150's though.

They area power and heated mirrors but no folding. at the same time, even with mirrors out. Its got a width of 83.5" which compared to an f150 with its mirrors folded in is 83.6"

That's what a warranty, and extended warranty are for. I use mine all the time and will continue to!
