2023 F150 Lariat packaging question

[SemperVee]

Mine was ordered in January from the factory and I stipulated I wanted that and even have the 360 2.0 camera package + tow package... My Fleet Manger sales person said Mine came without as they As I had the 360 camera package and Tow package but not the 2.0 ASSIST package... I definitely wanted it but he said it was a HUGE $$ increase I quoted after the fact when it came in. I was not not going to take the truck and let them sell it to someone else when it was right in the height of the shortage and I got it for X Plan price...

Starting in 2022 Job 2 I think, there was an option to NOT get LED lighting (headlight assy) in Lariats. Maybe that option was picked. So it's very possible to have a Lariat with Halos. Yuck! Yes, it's very possible for a 501A to not have front parking sensors. All 502As do though from 2022+.

Click the link below and you will see a Lariat mid that I built that has Halogen headlight assemblies.

If you open the info box where you selected 501A it eventually tells you it is "standard"...I assume that means on a Lariat since the 500A is no more.

It's amazing to see 2 of 3 lariat packages come with less features than my 302 XLT. I can't believe the front ultrasonics aren't standard, nor is radar cruise / lane centering. 360 cams and radar cruise is 2 features that will be on every future vehicle purchase without compromise. Hell my first PB was owned for not even 5 days before I ditched it for those features.

As for the LED reflector headlights, they put out more light than the projector units. With high beams on, nothing comes close to the light output of the reflector LEDs (as in I've yet to see another vehicles light output come close). The projectors bias forward lighting at the cost of side lighting. The reflectors illuminate everything -- . There's really no comparison.

The only system that comes close to living up to the marketing of dynamic headlights are those with high resolution imaging capabilities similar to DLP as well as DLP based. They essentially break up all light coming out of the headlights into 1 million+ discrete areas where light can be any number of combinations from completely void to full intensity and all values in-between.
