Here, resting quietly on our lot, we find a magnificent specimen in Oxford White: a 2024 Ford F-350SD Lariat, already seasoned by 22,100 miles of what we can only assume was purposeful, dignified work. This particular creature has developed the Power Stroke 6.7L turbodiesel V8 as its primary survival organ, a 10-speed automatic transmission for smooth territorial movement, and full 4WD capability for when the terrain turns hostile. The FX4 Off-Road Package has gifted it with specifically tuned shock absorbers and off-road decals that suggest, tastefully, that it has seen things. The 410-amp dual alternators and dual AGM batteries tell you this truck was built to sustain serious electrical demands, the kind you get from real work equipment, not just heated seats and a moonroof. Though it has those too.

The interior is where this creature truly reveals its social adaptations. Front leather-trimmed 40/Console/40 seats greet its natural companion with heat, ventilation, and memory settings so the seat returns to the correct position every single time. The heated rear seats suggest a generosity of spirit toward passengers. Bang and Olufsen audio with 8 speakers and SiriusXM 360L fills the cabin with sound that has no business being in a truck, yet here we are. SYNC 4 with enhanced voice recognition handles navigation and communication. The twin panel power moonroof opens to the sky above, which the truck regards with calm confidence. Memory settings extend to the pedals and steering wheel, so everything adjusts to you, not the other way around.

Outside, this F-350 wears its Sport Appearance Package and 20-inch Dark Carbonized Gray painted aluminum wheels with the quiet self-assurance of an animal that knows exactly where it falls in the food chain. The chrome bumpers, LED roof clearance lights, and chrome exhaust tip give it a polished presence. Platform running boards offer a dignified way to board. The tailgate step and handle make reaching the bed feel less like a feat of athleticism. Rain-sensing wipers, automatic high-beam headlights, a rear exterior camera, Hill Descent Control, and electronic stability control round out the safety adaptations that help this vehicle survive even when its driver is less focused than they should be.

At $70,694, this Lariat brings a considerable amount of truck for the price, and we think it deserves a driver who can fully appreciate it. Give us a call at 978-228-5021 to ask any questions or set up a time to get behind the wheel here at AutoFair Ford of Haverhill.
