Ford F-150 Lariat feedback

So today, after I earned 20pts to earn that truck. I’ve came into Forzavista to check out the features. When I dug into the interior I had encountered this.

To be honest, the detail looked nice and like new. But when I saw the transmission dial, the clutch pedal, and found out it has a four speed transmission even though it tells me it has has a 3 speed gears on the dials. I was baffled, and I was rolling in my head with thoughts like “How is this Lariat an automatic?” If it was, then where’s the column shifter? And why’s the clutch even exist in this? And there is no way my drivatar could use the four wheel drive shifter as if it was for the transmission. Also, if it had a four speed, then I assumed it would be a manual. Then where’s the manual shifter? And why is the transmission dial here? These four pieces of the evidence makes this case more difficult to solve. Overall even though I have yet to tune & drive the Lariat. It is a privilege to be able to drive this exciting car with the details of the interior like it came out as brand new, and I’m happy that the team decided to do something new and very nice and unique like with the IROC-Z back in FH4. However the transmission does not make any sense at all. And it is still very baffling describe it.

I’m missing what you’re saying about the 3 speed dail. I guess it’s just not clear from the photo.

But the transmission issues, if it is indeed a 4 speed manual representation then there should be another shift lever for the transfer case. Unless I’m just not seeing it in the photo.

I saw a comment somewhere of someone who explained that this is actually an XL trim and not the XLT Lariat. You could tell by the tailgate and the XL badge somewhere in the interior. Haven’t checked myself yet.

With the OP added this seems like an odd car. Maybe it had a transmission swap?

And why do they call it the XLT Lariat in-game then?

That also raises the question to me of which cars they’re scanning. Imo they should only scan 100% original cars, not modded ones.

Given the utilitarian nature of the truck itself (I.e. farm truck) I was a bit surprised by that interior color being an option.

That’s where I’d expect it. Just couldn’t see it in the other photo. Looked at some real photos and there should be a floor stick for the transfer case.

My guess is that they modeled a 2WD XL that had a manual swap in it…lol. The only reason for a automatic visual in the dash and an actual stick on the floor.

Or they bought a generic 2wd automatic model from a 3rd party source and then added the alterations.

something is seriously broked
even with 900hp I can barely get it to 160mph ( and don’t tell me about torq I put the diesel in it and geared it into the center of the earth and even with 1800ft lbs it struggled to get over 150)

also the cam for the stock motor reduces power with the ‘race’ option
also what is up with the dash its a auto dash

the lariat came standard with the 4.9l l6 and a 5 speed manual
or a 5.0/5.8 3 or 4 speed automatic or 5 speed stick

the shift lever on the floor in a automatic truck is a hilerious screwup
itd be one thing if It was factory automatic and 5 speed swapped

I6 not V6. That 300 c.i. inline 6 had been around since the 60’s with minimal changes/updates (head and bore/stroke). It’s the same base 6 that was the sprint 200.
