Woman Walks Up to a Brand-New Ford Lariat. Then She Learns it has a New 'Luxury' Feature

Dealerships always highlight the new features and perks of car models to lure people into buying. Sometimes these features don't necessarily improve the car's performance so much as its aesthetic or vibe. Still, they're packaged as something you can't miss out on. Often these features are described as a 'luxury.' Car manufacturers toss around the word luxury like a football on a Sunday. It may irritate some, but many buyers want a luxurious car, so it's also just good marketing.

That doesn't mean you won't get called out for calling something standard a luxury feature. In a TikTok with nearly 6,000 views, Madi (@surpriseforddeals) claims the new Ford F-150 Lariat's way of greeting drivers is an example of its 'luxury.' But is this a new feature or has this been around? Is your truck excited to see you? Trending Now 'Do People Not Read the Owner's Manual Anymore?': Woman Buys New Honda.

Then An Expert Exposes the Reality of Financing In her post, Madi showcases how the new Ford F-150 Lariat automatically turns on its headlights when you approach the truck. She begins by asking viewers, 'Have you ever been greeted by your truck?' Madi then proceeds to hype how the Ford Lariat automatically lights up when its key gets close to the vehicle, suggesting this is a reason you should buy one—from her. According to her profile, Madi works for a Ford dealership. 'Welcome back to your truck. That's the luxury of Lariat,' Madi concludes. Luxury or standard? While the F-150 Lariat's light-up greeting is arguably aesthetically pleasing and potentially promotes safety, many people who commented on Madi's post disagree with the suggestion that it's remarkable. 'Literally most manufacturers do this,' one TikTok commenter said. 'Oh, a 2004 Lexus LS does the same thing, nothing new here,' another added. A third shared, 'Luxury of Lariat? My $40k outback from 2020 does this.' The skeptics are correct: this isn't a new feature. Ford F-150s have even reportedly had this feature since at least 2021. It used to be called 'approach lighting'; now it's known as 'welcome lighting.' So why is it being highlighted as a selling point? Wouldn't it make more sense to simply focus on the F-150's reliability, towing capacity, or perhaps its warranty? This dives into the bigger conversation about how consumers have become increasingly driven to buy vehicles based on their technology. There's something of a tech race going on in vehicle manufacturing. Every brand wants to have the newest, most desirable tech under the hood and inside the passenger compartment. Critics say these features are used to distract from the fact that making dependable and reliable cars is slowly becoming a lost art. They claim manufacturers don't build them like they used—and there may be truth to that. But cars didn't used to have backup cameras , either, and that tech has unquestionably saved lives (and bumpers). If consumers want a vehicle that lights up when they approach, why not give it to them? Motor1 has contacted Madi over Instagram and TikTok direct messenger. We also reached out to Ford via email.

Marriott Chases Lower Price Points With $100-a-Night Rooms

Marriott has realized it has been been leaving money on the table by primarily catering to expense-account travelers and vacationers in the luxury and upscale segments. Marriott opened its first mid-market extended stay hotel last week, a milestone in its bid to capture budget-conscious travelers seeking apartment-style accommodations. It also pits the company against established players like Extended Stay America and Choice Hotels, as well as newer entrants like Hilton. The 124-room StudioRes property in Fort Myers, Florida was developed by Concord Hospitality for approximately $13 million with help from private equity firm Whitman Peterson. It offers studio-style rooms, full kitchens, and designated work areas. "We just feel really good about the momentum that should build off of this opening in less than a year from announcing the brand and from the others that are already under construction," Noah Silverman, Marriott's global development officer for the U.S. and Canada, told Skift. Marriott plans 40 more StudioRes properties through 2027, and said it is in talks for hundreds of potential deals across 150 U.S. markets.
