What is the Lariat value package?
The Lariat value package is a factory option bundle offered on Ford's Lariat-trim vehicles, such as certain F-Series trucks, designed to group popular features into a single, cost-conscious package. The exact contents and availability vary by model year and market, so buyers should verify the current configuration with Ford's official tools or a dealer.
What the Lariat value package is
In practice, the package serves as a way to equip a Lariat-trim vehicle with commonly desired comfort, technology, and safety features at a reduced incremental cost versus selecting each option separately. Because Ford periodically updates equipment groupings and names, the specific items included can differ across years and models.
The following categories reflect common elements that have appeared in Lariat Value Packages in some years. They are not guaranteed for every build.
- Interior comfort and materials (e.g., upgraded seating surfaces, leather accents, power adjustments)
- Technology and infotainment upgrades (e.g., enhanced display, navigation, premium audio)
- Convenience and exterior features (e.g., remote start, power liftgate, dual‑zone climate control)
- Driver‑assistance and safety features (e.g., adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring) – availability varies by year
Keep in mind that exact contents vary; always check the final build documentation for confirmation.
Variations by year and region
Availability and itemization of a Lariat Value Package depend on model year, trim level, and market. On some years the same bundle may carry a different name or sit in a different equipment group, and items may be added or removed. Always verify with the dealer or Ford's official build tools for the specific vehicle you’re considering.
How to verify the exact contents for a specific vehicle
To ensure you know exactly what you’re getting, use these verification steps before sealing a deal or finalizing a build.
- Read the Monroney window sticker when the vehicle is on the lot or in the online spec sheet; look for the package name and the equipment group or codes that identify the Lariat Value Package.
- Use Ford's official Build & Price tool for the model year and trim you're considering; search for "Value Package" or "Lariat Value Package" to see included items.
- Ask the dealer for the exact build sheet or VIN-based configuration so you can compare the items against the official listing.
Confirming the exact contents is essential because packages can change by year, region, or even between factory and dealer-installed options.
Why buyers consider it
People choose the Lariat Value Package to gain premium-feeling features in a more approachable price point and with simpler configuration. It’s particularly attractive when the bundled items align with the buyer’s priorities, such as comfort, tech, and safety, without paying for items they won’t use. The trade-off is reduced customization flexibility if a different combination of features would suit the buyer better.
Where the value is clear
The appeal lies in convenience and potential savings, plus faster negotiation with a bundled option rather than selecting each feature separately. However, because content varies, buyers should verify the exact items for their specific vehicle before purchase.
Summary
The Lariat value package is a Ford configuration option that bundles selected features for Lariat-trim models, typically offering a price-conscious route to premium features. Its exact contents depend on model year and market, so always confirm with the official build tools or the dealer using the vehicle’s documentation. This approach can simplify buying and enhance value, but it requires attention to ensure the bundle matches your needs.
