part of it was lack of information available to the buyers and dealerships at time of ordering.
Buyers had all the info in the world aside from seeing one in the wild.

When was the last time a manufacturer put a cd player in a car? 1998?
My 2017 Prius has a CD player. I've never used it, and I had to go look in my car to respond to this because I really didn't know for sure.

Looks like I should have added

I thought the XLT had push button start
I thought the XLT had rear window defrost (discussion about Lariat defrost HERE)
I thought I was getting "X" wheels but got "Y" wheels

If nothing else, this thread should help future buyers....if they read it. ;)

The CD question I can answer. When you look at the dash area, it looks like there is a CD slot there. When I first saw it, I wondered why any new vehicle would include on anymore. I wasn't the only one. On several sites, there were people asking if that was a CD slot.
I was actually super excited to bust out my Bevis & Butthead CD until I realized it wasn’t a CD player.

Here is an honest opinion from a millennial (me):

I was unaware the XL DID NOT have cruise control and initially thought that feature would be added with the Ford Co-Pilot 360 package until I dug deeper into various forums to realize that's not the case. I had ordered the car prior to finding this our but not having that option isn't a deal breaker, just a nice-to-have.

As mentioned many times in this thread I had assumed these "basic" options were included. I currently drive a paid-off base 2014 Nissan Altima with standard cruise control, push button start, sirus XM and backup camera, and "assumed" a car 8 years newer with a similar trim level would include these options.

I would venture to say that there are a few other buyers out there that did the same thing I did and upgraded to a newer car (albeit, a base model) and thought it would include some of the seemingly "standard options" that are on most new cars in 2022.

2013 Fusion came with a CD player to respond to the rhetorical.

I was aware that the XLT did not have the push start just frustrated as I think that should be included.

Another small issue I have is the drivers side power window goes down automatically with 1 click. However this does work when rolling it back up. You need to keep your finger on the control. Strange. Am I missing something?

Also I was surprised the XLT lux included heated power steering wheel? Pleasant surprise but would rather have push button start.

Also disappointed in the radio. Not only sounds terrible but the reception when traveling is awful? Anybody else have this issue?

I didn't know adding the in cab 110V inverter would also add the USB jacks on an XL. Its not in the description but is in the photo. Pleasantly surprised by that.

Something I would have added had I known. Do we know if this can be added afterwards? As in buying the part from the dealer and installing?

I ordered the 110v outlet but didnt get the lux pack so no bed outlet. Hoping you can buy the parts and install easily. If there is a 12 v wire on the rear console you can but jacks that just require drilling a hole to mount them, then pigtail them to the wire.

I certainly could understand why people would assume cruise control would be a standard option since it really does seem all cars have it. Plus would it really have driven the XLs price over the $20k threshold Ford set for the truck? It just seems like CC was a corner Ford didn't need to cut.
