Taillights are the same across all trims. From the videos I've seen they look much more visible than some of the competition. I never noticed it but I was behind a Tacoma the other night and at about 30 yards I really couldn't tell he had his indicator on.

Okay thanks. I thought they may have been different like all the other Lariat LED lighting.

No, the Lariats have led lights and the XLT and XL have a halogen. Or at least that was the plan. All of the pre production had the same led lights regardless of trim to keep production simple.

Admittedly this guy doesn't have all his facts straight but he calls out the LEDs in the XLT in this video. I've also heard it referenced several other times that it was odd that they went with LED in the rear as a standard and not in the front.

The LED taillights are a part of BLIS which is standard for XLT and Lariat and optional on XL. This is similar for the F-series trucks. I've seen loads of trucks with halogen headlights and LED taillights but they have BLIS.

That must have been a change...I mean it makes sense, but I specifically remember seeing it say the XLT get halogen taillights and 3rd brake light and the Lariat's are all LED.

Kinda bummed now, that's going to look stupid now with different lights on each end.

Oh well, I was planning to upgrade the front and fog light bulbs first thing anyway to a higher 6000K or so

From Ford's chat:

At this time, I see the Ranger XLT would have Fog Lamps and Tail lamps with Halogen Lamps until you reach the Lariat trim level.

From Ford's chat:

Interesting... now that you mention it the review of the truck in Conway, SC mentioned something about halogen indicators on the rear but I think that was a Lariat. Basically we should just wait and see for our selves I guess.

These two two stickers do actually show a difference between XLT and Lariat. I'll have my crow with hot sauce please.

I just did a little research... near as can be figured... LED taillights come in all trim levels which have BLISS blind spot system. Without BLISS you get halogen taillights.

I was wondering about the Radar symbol and if it would still be there without BLISS. Well there's the answer... When there is no Radar you don't get the LED Taillights.

If you go to "Build and Price " and price an XL with and without Copilot 360 you can watch the taillights change right before your eyes!

Just let that I4 breath a little, stretch it out a bit. Those behind you won't be noticing the lights...

I think we're going to see a lot of changes for 2020. Simple things they can add like a sunroof and a dampened tailgate to more standard features like LED headlights on the XLT, for simplicity sake.

I doubt they'd standardize on too much optional equipment. They have to be able to justify the price differential between the trim levels.

anyone see any night photos of the LED tails?
