Ford F-150 Trim Levels

Need a pickup truck that’s Built Ford Tough®? You’re likely considering the Ford F-150, with its 13,200-pound towing capacity and in-cab storage space. Valdese, Hickory, and Brookford shoppers will want to consider the Ford F-150 trim levels before they choose their truck.

There are seven trims in total: XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, Limited, and Raptor. Each one offers its own features and is geared toward a specific audience of truck drivers. Study their specs and contact us at Cloninger Ford of Hickory to learn more!

Ford F-150 XL & XLT

The bottom two Ford F-150 trims are similar in many ways. Both come standard with a 290-horsepower V6 engine, for instance, and both make a 325-horsepower EcoBoost® V6 available. These two trims are also the only two available with three cabs and three beds sizes.

The F-150 XL makes vinyl seats available. Not only is vinyl easy to clean, but it’s durable and can handle the repeated loading and unloading of your tools and project materials. For that reason, the XL may well be the best work truck of the bunch.

The F-150 XLT, meanwhile, loads up on technologies for daily driving. You’ll add a SYNC® 3 infotainment system, complete with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.

Ford F-150 Lariat

The standard engine in the Ford F-150 Lariat is the 325-horsepower EcoBoost® V6 mentioned earlier. For a different driving experience, you can also equip a:

• 395-horsepower V8
• 250-horsepower Power Stroke® Turbo Diesel V6
• 375-horsepower EcoBoost® V6

The Lariat also introduces the BoxLink™ system to help keep your cargo more secure. In the cabin, leather seats will elevate your driving style. Amenities include dual-zone automatic climate control and heated and cooled front seats, for a cozier time behind the wheel.

Ford F-150 King Ranch

Peek under the hood of the Ford F-150 King Ranch, and you’ll find one of three potent powertrains. The 395-horsepower V8 engines comes standard. If you prefer, you can switch to the 250-horspower Power Stroke® Turbo Diesel V6 or the 375-horsepower EcoBoost® V6.

On this trim level, the Ford F-150 adds a navigation system to its SYNC® 3 system. When you’re not sure where to go, you’ll have turn-by-turn directions at your fingertips! A 10-speaker B&O™ Premium Sound System by Bang & Olufsen is added, as well, for crystal-clear audio quality.

Ford F-150 Platinum

Platinum… The word itself says luxury, doesn’t it? The Ford F-150 Platinum adds premium features, such as power-deployable running boards. Give your passengers a leg up when they need it, and let the running boards fold out of the way when not in use.

Wood accents line the cabin and accentuate your style. The F-150 Platinum helps you see more of your surroundings with BLIS® (Blind Spot Monitoring System) with Trailer Coverage. Mechanically, this F-150 shares its engine lineup with the previous trim level.

Ford F-150 Limited

It doesn’t get more deluxe than this. The Ford F-150 Limited goes big with all the best features. Choose the SuperCrew cab for a twin-panel moonroof. Slide it open to flood the cabin with sunlight and enjoy a far breezier drive! The F-150 Limited runs on a High-Output EcoBoost® V6 with 450 horsepower on tap.

Ford F-150 Raptor

Tuned for performance and off-roading, the Raptor is unique among the Ford F-150 trims. This truck can conquer it all with four-wheel drive, skid plates, and a locking rear differential. Keep the wheels spinning at the same speed and protect your Raptor’s underside from jagged terrain.

An off-road racing suspension sweetens the deal too! The Raptor runs on the same potent powerhouse as the previous trim level: the 450-horsepower High-Output EcoBoost® V6 engine.
