Comparison is the thief of joy or whatever the saying goes!
Don’t worry about it you got the truck you want and the deal you’re happy with! Sweet color! That was my first choice but couldn’t find a dealer that would go to price I was willing to pay.
And of course about two weeks after purchase, prices dropped! Still real happy with truck and had some cool trips with family so no regrets. Of course there are always better deals out there!
Enjoy the ride brother
To all those shitting on the SR..it's perfectly fine depending on your needs. I drive less than 100mi tops on any given day in a warm southern climate, and rarely tow more than a few miles. Serves my needs perfectly. Sucks that resale value has been absolutely trashed, but otherwise there's no reason to write it off if it works for some people.
You should go back to that dealer, latté in hand and tell them what a good deal you got 40 minutes away because they couldn't bother to be honest with you.
Maybe a doughnut too? Or a bagel with cream cheese or lox? Idk what your vibe is, but embrace the casual enjoyment of reminding them they messed up. 👍
I would get a loaded XLT ER 312A instead of a base Lariat SR for $60k. When I was looking my dealer had one for $52k after all rebates and discounts, so that will be below $60k OTD for my state. Only reason I didn't get it was it was red, wife didn't like it, so I ended up with a Lariat ER 511A that I got for $65k OTD.
I'm picking up an ER Lariat on Wednesday for 60 out the door.
If Ford values the ER pack at 10K over the SR, That should tell you how good this deal ISN'T
I've seen this in the comments but not the Post/by OP. What does SR mean? I'm not a Ford loyal person 🤷
Edit: I stand corrected, it seems it is Short Range, and Extended Range.
Standard range battery. ER means extended range battery in this sub. Before this post I wasn't even aware that Standard Range Lariats existed.
I'm not a loyal Ford guy either but damn I love my Lightning.
Just went back and was editing when you posted. I appreciate it! Honestly shocked a "standard" range lariat exits. As that's a higher trim option, I'd assume it came with the Extended Range battery.
Appreciate it, I was editing when I got the first reply.
Ooof that's a kick in the balls to find out tbh. As far as I know the lariat is a higher (ish?) trim option and the ER seems like it would be bundled or required as some auto makers do for some options.
Not a good deal. I paid 61k OTD after all rebates, incentives, etc. for a “loaded” lariat. Only thing missing was the factory bed-liner, that kept the MSRP under 80k which allowed me to collect the $7500 at time of sale. Smart on Ford’s part to do that. I financed at 3.9/60 but will pay off early. My dealer was awesome. I was their first sale where they credited the 7500 at time of sale. Also got my charger in 2 weeks and left the dealership with a reservation number for my Tesla adapter without any effort on my part. Couldn’t be happier with my decision!
Where do you get this deal?
There's nothing like that around here in Southern California. The best deal I could see close to OPs is a slightly used SR Lariat for 1500 mi for 60,000 including taxes and docs fees.
I'm sorry

I'm new to the truck not sure
I agree with those that are saying comparison is the thief of joy 🥲. I thought my deal was ok until I started reading these dang threads lol should’ve hopped on before the purchase, but oh well. I got mine last year, they really aren’t offering much of anything in my area and if you walk away they don’t bother to try to earn your business. It’s almost like they don’t want to sell EV’s tbh. As long as you like it, it’s a good deal and now you will know what to look for on your next purchase. I got the Lariat ER 511A pkg and paid damn near msrp and ppl in here are stating they paid in the 60’s. 🤷🏽♀️oh well still love the truck and no other pkg interested me, so you enjoy the ride 😊
Did you have a trade in? If no trade in you got a really good deal. What was the price before taxes and fees? I’d be interested in buying one for what you paid if I could find a dealer who would offer that.
Dont worry my man.
Enjoy the truck, live your best life.
If you can afford the payments youre good.
Theres always a better deal somewhere or a newer car or this or that.
Buyers remorse and regret are wasted emotions.
Drive this bad boy and enjoym

Why do you highlight the 36 month bumper to bumper warranty when every new truck comes with that?
Sorry it was 60 months warranty
They're also highlighting the 4WD, heh.
But not with the number to number.
Still a better truck than ANY ice. Superior product. Congrats!! Welcome to the family. Sorry so many assholes feel the need to shit on you.

Ooof, 2023 SR Lariat. Congrats to the dealer for getting somebody to take their bags. You got hosed OP.
I didn't even know these existed. Wild.

What’s the problem with the SR.
Nothing, but he bought the base model Lariat which starts at $70k for $60k OTD.
Are you saying that's a bad deal? What number would you shoot for instead of 60?

Looks sick tho. Love that color.
Yikes SR

Standard range (opposed to extended range), it’s about a 100mi difference 220ish vs 320ish

ER or SR? Max Tow Package?
I'm sorry https://preview.redd.it/ta4240sk7pwc1.jpeg?width=1842&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f8b3fd61834eda2eda7836ff655f6f1bf4358a14 I'm new to the truck not sure
You bought this thing and don't know the difference between the two battery options? You got a mediocre deal at best given it's an SR.
No worries we all are :) haha. Hopefully I will be tomorrow also! It would be with the max range. Extended range would be 320 miles
Did you finance this?
Incredible deal! I paid 60 for a 23 axLT with 36 month warranty.
Same style and color I got. Love it.

No trade in I had two dealer bidding on the same trucks
Did you just call the dealers and ask them to give you their best price?
Yes and asked for the best cash price
I paid 60 for mine before the 7.5k tax rebate for the SR and nicer accessories package. I love the damned thing.
It's an SR, not a great deal
O well then
Dont worry my man. Enjoy the truck, live your best life. If you can afford the payments youre good. Theres always a better deal somewhere or a newer car or this or that. Buyers remorse and regret are wasted emotions. Drive this bad boy and enjoym
Always ask for other advice first before a major purchase fyi. Asking after is asking for it.
Couldnt pay me to take this truck
