A "Lariat" isn’t a fancy new coffee or some trendy tech gadget—it’s a trim level, usually slapped on Ford's pickups, like the Ford F-150 Lariat.

Typically, a Lariat includes leather seats, upgraded infotainment systems, and some nifty driver-assist tech.

In Australia, if you’re hunting one down, expect to pay around $60,000 to $80,000 AUD new, while used ones can dip into the $40,000 to $60,000 AUD range depending on condition and year. For the truly curious, check out listings on CarShowroom or Tradingpost to see what’s actually available on these shores.
