The Rundown
The Ford F-150 is one of the most popular vehicles in the world, and most definitely the most popular truck in America. This perennial best seller continues to make waves because it is not just the most popular vehicle in America, but also one of the most innovative. Ford continues to make this truck relevant, modern, and competitive. This triple threat produces the best selling vehicle year after year. There are a lot of trims across the Ford F-150 lineup and one of the more down to earth trims is the XLT. The XLT is one of the most commonly owned trims of the F-150, and this is due to its favorable price point and value. The Ford F-150 XLT starts off at around $42,000 for the regular cab, and then goes up to about $49,000 for the SuperCrew cab. Beyond that, the XLT has a few engine options and features, with available packages that make this trim the perfect balance of value and features.

Summary
The Ford f-150 XLT reigns supreme as one of the most competitive Ford trims, while lacking slightly n flair when compared to the Ford F-150 Raptor, it makes the difference with almost $30,000 of savings. The XLT is made to get the job done at a better cost for you, and with savings in mind. We recommend adding the 3.5 liter V6 engine to improve towing capacity and the black appearance package for style.
