I'd prefer you buy the XLT so we can stop seeing neologisms like Plati and Platty.
Split the difference and find a '16 King Ranch. I mean, Kranch.

Neologisms, Portmanteaus, I mean what really is the difference? Plati, Flexedition....but Platty is just silly. :)

202a package includes the Sony stereo system with the subwoofer in back and center speaker in middle of the dash. I have a 17XLT with the luxury package and the only things I'm missing are power boards, rear heated seats, keyless start, and power fold mirrors (and I guess the 20" wheels but I prefer the 18s for towing). Power boards fail and very expensive to replace, power fold mirrors can be added and I prefer a key to start my vehicles, call me old fashioned.

My late '17 with that package is the same but has power fold mirrors. Don't recall them being a separate option. I had to play with the seat settings to stop everything retracting when the key was switched off. Maybe if I was 350 pounds... ;)

I'm with you on key start and higher profile tires. Prefer 17 or 18 inch wheels to 20 inch "rims" as well.

Can you get the wood grain and leather trim accents on the XLT like the higher trims?

They're not separate options like they were 30 (40?) years ago. Internal trim, as far as I can tell, is purely trim line other than a very limited color choice. Aftermarket trim abounds on Ebay. Claims to fit exactly.
