If you’re in the market for a new work truck, the Ford F-150 is a great choice. With several trims to choose from, there’s an F-150 that’s sure to meet your needs and your budget. Let’s discuss what these various trims have to offer.

XL

The F-150 XL is a sturdy workhorse with all the power and capability you need to get the job done. It comes equipped with a 3.3-liter Ti-VCT V-6 engine that’s capable of putting out 290 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque. With a maximum towing capacity of 7,700 pounds, you never have to leave any of your gear behind. The XL has a miles per gallon rating of 20 in the city and 25 on the highway. While cloth seats are standard, you can opt for a vinyl bench seat, which is perfect for heavy-duty work use. 

XLT

Like the XL, the F-150 XLT is powered by a 290-horsepower 3.3-liter Ti-VCT V-6 engine capable of putting out 265 pound-feet of torque. It can also tow up to 7,700 pounds. What sets it apart are some added luxuries that make it a great truck for drivers who are frequently on the road for work. The XLT comes standard with a CD player and Ford’s SYNC infotainment system, meaning you won’t miss your favorite music or those important work calls.

Lariat

If you need an even more powerful ride, the F-150 Lariat comes standard with a 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6 engine capable of putting out 325 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. With the Lariat’s LED box lighting, you can tackle any task, day or night. The Lariat also features BoxLink, which can be used to secure ramps, storage bins, dividers, and so much more. The Sync 3 system and an 8-inch productivity screen make the Lariat’s cabin a great entertainment and workspace.

King Ranch

The F-150 King Ranch comes equipped with a powerful 395-horsepower 5.0-liter Ti-VCT V-8 engine capable of producing 400 pound-feet of torque. It features a heated steering wheel and heated/ventilated seats, perfect for when your work takes you into warm or cold climates. The King Ranch’s color touch screen displays phone, audio, and navigation functions. Other features that help you get the job done include a remote tailgate release and a 110-volt/400-watt power inverter.

Raptor

The F-150 Raptor, powered by a twin-turbo, intercooled, DOHC 24-valve, 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine, puts out an impressive 450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque. It comes standard as an all-wheel drive, and with its higher ground clearance and upgraded suspension system, the Raptor can handle any terrain. It’s the perfect truck for getting the job done and then having some fun off-road.

Platinum

While the platinum was built for work, it’s also designed for comfort. Features include automatic high beams, rain-sensing wipers, a black leather-wrapped steering wheel, and black carpet flooring with unique front and rear mats.

These are just some of the trims available on the F-150. Consider taking a test drive so you can see which one works best for you.
