Lariat with power adjust steering?

[flixden]

My order tracking for a Lariat 501a lists this:

• Leather-Wrapped and Heated Steering Wheel – Power Tilt and Telescoping with Memory

Is that a mistake?

Also has a second steering wheen entry as follows:
- Wrapped Steering Wheel

Any idea?
Thanks!

I am pretty sure that's not the case.
I was checking out a '25 Lariat at a dealer on Saturday, and that one definitely had manual tilt and telecoping for the steering wheel.

My '25 Lariat - has manual steering wheel, but does have heated and that is very nice. The leather seats are not real leather, but hard to tell the difference.

Not on my 500a. It's a manual adjustable/telescoping wheel. It's leather and heated

I guess I assumed the 501a had it like my 2024. Looks like they really stripped out a lot of options for 2025.

I really think they did strip them down. I was looking around really hard for a 2024. Seemed like a better truck. I couldn't find any Lariats in any equipment group that didn't have a bunch of extra options that I didn't want to pay for.

I probably should have sprung for the 501a. It was an extra $5,000 for tiny things though. Vanity mirror lights, rear operable window, and apparently dual exhaust(which i thought came with the 500a BAP)

My order tracking list was not showing a few things I ordered. Contacted my salesman and was told those listings are not accurate. Refer to your order form.​

Yeah, my order tracking list is very inaccurate.
Makes me wonder if it wouldn't be better for them to just leave off the details and accessories, if they can't get it right. Less confusion on the customers and dealers side.

My 2025 Lariat 502a came with a manual tilt/telescopic steering wheel

Too bad. Ford really disappoints here.
In my opinion, this isn't 100% honest. These cuts are not being advertised.

When I took delivery of my truck back in January, Ford’s build & price website said 501A includes power tilt/telescoping steering wheel. I claimed for an mis-built but Ford said it wasn’t. It has been updated on Ford’s website since then.

Wow, that's pretty bad if you order it with this included, and then get something different and nothing is being done to compensate for it. Wow. This is clearly Ford's mistake, they should have offered you something. Some cash back, or some sort of extended warranty, something ....

I agree. I would have been livid.

I bought the Lariat because I wanted Auto4WD and heated/leather seats. The truck i wanted was listed on another dealers website with images(Some kind of dealer stock images). The truck showed a back operable window and dual exhaust. I bought the truck from a local dealer, and they went and got that truck from that dealer and brought it to me. The window wasn't a big deal, but I was disappointed with the lack of dual exhaust.

The dual exhaust didn't come on the 500a BAP. The dealer was a young guy who probably didn't know, but I had mentioned that was something I wanted.

The price was too good to pass up, so I took it.

You know, it is interesting what we get worked up over. 30 years ago we would have loved to get this stuff just as it comes.

But we should get what they say we will get. I agree. It just got me to thinking about the poverty days.
