Help me choose between Stealth and Platinum

Shoot, you're right. So basically, if I want CCD, I have to go with 22"???

Yes, 22" stock wheels is the tell-tale sign that the model has CCD suspension.

Your truck looks nice, but my personal preference is to not have too much chrome. They just slap it everywhere including the Platinum on the door (which I would immediately debadge if I got it). I am more into the blacked out look but funny enough, even on the Stealth, they still left the door trim piece Chrome!

Just the beltline, part of the grille, and Ford badges are chrome. The door handles are body colored, unlike the Platinum.

Ford did away with the seat release button after 2019. I gueas they felt it was pointless as most people just used the top of the seat. When i had mines, ppl didnt even notice the button was there. If you want ccd and 20in wheels, you can get the base navigator, if you can find one that is. They have black headliners, active noise cancellation on Top of better insulation, less chrome, and optioned like ur xlt with a few upgrades like 360 camera and will cost the same as the limited or plat your looking at. The things youll miss out on is ventilated seats, massage seat (30 way)option, and adaptive cruise as an option.

So badass

The top trim won out for me.
I really like the soft touch on the door panels. The leather is way nicer which you say isn’t a plus for you but it is really not comparable to the limited leather

the noise cancelling is great. Mine is super quiet especially for how big they are

I never thought I’d use massaging seats but in long trips it’s really nice to keep you awake and eliminate that numb butt. Also the lane keeping. Never thought I’d use that but on road trips it helps with driver fatigue as well. I find I can load the kids and drive all night for 12 hours while they sleep If I get a cat nap in around 1am

the led headlights and auto high beams are awesome

the hd tow pkg was a must for me. So many improved things with that pig I can’t believe it is such a cheap option. No way ford breaks even on that one

I also am not a fan of the chrome but with a wheel swap you’re looking at grill door handles belt line roof rack and steps. Pretty easy bits to Black if motivated. It kinda grew on me. I plan to go raptor steps and custom rack so it’ll really just be door handles and belt line at some point

KEEP WHAT YOU HAVE. WAIT UNTIL DECEMBER FOR SOME REAL DEALS.

It all depends on when Ford buys my lemon.

My wife just told me she wants to have 8 seats and will not "downgrade" to the captain chairs as that is only 7 seats.

Do the Platis have an option for a second row bench or is that found only on the Limited?

Yes they can be had with a bench but they are rare.
