1977 Ford F150 Ranger XLT Lariat

Someone told me that XLT and Lariat can't be in the same model....is this true?

As far as I know with my title and conversations with the PO, it's this way.

Yes...that's true. It's either XLT or Lariat, not both.

Cool thanks guys.....so now the question is, how can I tell which is which. My guess is it's the XLT.

That's the million dollar question IMO...badges can change and so can interiors over 30+ years. Not to mention, just about anything could be ordered at any trim level. However, I believe the highest level Marti report will tell you anything and everything about your truck...but that comes with a price tag, of course.

Not to confuse you Ken, but there is an XLT Lariat trim option, but it didn't come until 1982. Ford dropped the Ranger trim levels so it could use the Ranger name on the small truck when they brought it out in 83, so the Custom became the non name basic trim, the Ranger became the XL, the Ranger XLT became XLT, and Ranger Lariat became XLT Lariat. XLT Lariat lasted all the way until 1991. Then it saw an absence from 1992 to at least 1996.

Dennis, I can relate. My build sheet and vin number will always say Custom, but that's not what the emblems and new radio bezel say. My truck is a good example of what Ben said about vehicles being changed. The only thing left on my truck that is still of the Custom trim is the tailgate, but only because it doesn't have the tailgate panel yet.

Dennis, does your truck have the super-rare behind-seat storage area?

I'm custom designing my own.

It will have the super rare Pioneer or Sony 10 CD magazine remore player and the FOMOCO custom 3 way speakers
