I have never got a definitive answer as to whether my Limited has the noise canceling. Some older Ford literature seems to indicate that it should have it since it has all the upgraded electronics inside except the massage seats the Platinum has. Having driven a few Limiteds and Platinums in my search before buying I have come to the conclusion that either I do indeed have it, or that it’s totally worthless and does nothing on the Platinum. I’m inclined to believe the latter that the noise cancelling doesn’t really do anything as I have also driven an XLT and found it to be very quiet as well.

The only way to get CCD on the Limited is via the 302A package. You can also definitely get the HD Tow package with 302A. Special Edition package includes HD Tow package, so I'm not sure what you are saying exactly.
My mistake then, when building my Expy online at Ford.com it would not let me select the 302A package with Special Edition Package

The ltd do not have noise cancellation. When i tested the plat, it was quieter particularly with the suspension noise and hwy noise, but not by much. The expy is already library quiet.

Here's something I put together when I was shopping...perhaps it is helpful. I think (I did this several months ago) this reflects what is available on that trim level, not what is standard. For instance on the Ltd, you have to select the Driver Assistance Package to get the adaptive cruise, lane keep, etc.

Although I do note that the CCD (and I think the 360 camera and Park Assist) are available on the Ltd and my little chart doesn't reflect that.

View attachment 23377

My Ltd 4x4 has 360 and park assist so yes it's an option.

The park assist though is useless to me as I don't lile the feeling of a computer doing the work.

25hp in a 5700lb car really isn't even noticeble on a butt dyno lol.

On a side note, what are they changing in the trans?

I mean the 10R80 is having issues under the 375hp tune, so I wonder if they're beefing up the platinum and navigator trans more?!

Is your ltd a 301 or 302? By the photo it looks like a 301 with special edition pkg. How did you get the 360 camera when on the order sheet its not available on 301 and below?

Honestly have no clue. This one was on the dealer lot and the only one in Houston or within 100 miles like it.

Mainly the hard left pull when it' in sport 4wd mode.

The tech told the sales guy that sport mode wasn' designed to be used in 4wd. I laughed my a$$ off and said, well then why did Ford design it to automatically activate 4wd then.

Service manager told my sales guy today it should be fixed tomorrow..... yet has yet to say what they have done.

I told them I want a detailed work order with detailed notes, repairs and work completed.

Noise cancellation is Platinum only and then only in the front row. There's a noticeable difference riding in the front seats between Platinum and Limited. There's also a noticeable difference between the front seats and the 2nd row on the Platinum. It's a good bit noisier when sitting in the back. . .

Weird that @Blackscreen67 got the 360 camera. It’s an option with the 301 if you custom configure and should be listed on the window sticker. Then again, I ran across a few window sticker glitches or configurations that don’t match the sticker/ build sheet while searching for mine.
