Purchasing a used 2017 EL - Rentals

Yes there are turn signals in the mirrors (and they are also heated with memory) but you'll find they don't power-fold. That was an upgrade reserved for Limited, King Ranch, and Platinum models.

I had my choice between a limited with 53k miles and the loaded XLT with 33k. Both CPO, both 17s. The limited was low level, no moon roof or power boards or load leveling shocks. It was also from the east coast, whereas the XLT was from California so I figured having 20k more miles of warranty coverage and no exposure to salt trumped push button start, power fold mirrors and heated rear seats. Time will tell I guess....

If you want a loaded XLT, look for one with Equipment Group 202A that includes Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow, Remote Start, Heated/Cooled Seats, Memory Seats/Pedals/Mirrors, Dual-Zone Climate, Ambient Lighting, 3rd Row PowerFold Seats, an 8-inch center dash touch screen, upgraded instrument cluster, and Premium Sound. After that, look for one that also has Navigation and Moonroof. Those were standalone options that were not included in the 202A package.

My 2017 XLT has all that plus the power-fold, integrated turn signal mirrors.

Interesting that the VIN shows it as either an XLT or King Ranch but doesn't define which.

It must be a king ranch, power fold (pull back on the mirror control and the mirror housing folds up against the truck) was not an XLT option or they've been retrofitted....

I have a 17 XLT EL and my mirrors have power fold.

Optional 202A package on a 2017 XLT included, among many things, power fold side mirrors.

Well, this is interesting! My 2017 XLT has 202A and I do *not* have power-fold outside mirrors. I *do* have turn signals in the mirrors though. . .

While shopping around I noticed many 2017 trucks were labeled "XLT/King Ranch" so there seems to be some sort of labeling confusion. I'd imagine though that a proper King Ranch would be readily identifiable with badging, special leather interior, and more options.

Hard to believe the dealer would have removed the King Ranch badges and fitted XLT. Yep, it's an XLT.

The VIN caused my insurance company (USAA) to question which it was, XLT or King Ranch?

I have the Equipment Group 202A (not 201A, sorry). And the mirrors listed by Star-Art. The truck is Absolute Black and everything but the grill, door handles, trim around all the lights, and wheels are black. And some little badges on the rear.

Specifically notes "Less Daytime Running Lamps" but I was able to activate the fogs as DRLs via Forscan.
