2022 Ford F-150 XL

The F-150 XL is the entry-level trim model, which means it provides both the lowest price and the shortest list of standard features. Even at this level, though, the F-150 is handsomely equipped, giving you roomy, comfortable seating and plenty of modern gear. And, of course, this truck provides a powerful ride, helping you tow and haul substantial weight.

As the entry-level Ford F-150, the XL is admittedly pretty basic. But it’s a great option for anyone who wants a low price and can do without any frills. Older XL trucks came with vinyl upholstery, but the 2022 F-150 XL upgrades comfort levels with standard cloth seats. (Vinyl seating is still available if you’re looking for an easy-to-clean option.)

Standard equipment also includes some cutting-edge tech features. For example, you get the SYNC 4 infotainment system, with its wireless smartphone integration features, at no extra cost. And the F-150 also comes standard with protective safety aids, including automatic emergency braking.

Ford F-150 XLT features include:

• 17-inch Silver steel wheels
• Cloth seating
• Manual, single-zone air conditioning
• Vinyl flooring
• SYNC 4 with 8-inch touchscreen
• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Lane-departure warning
• Forward collision mitigation
• Manual folding side mirrors
• Pre-wired trailer connections
• Optional trailer tow exterior mirrors

Every XL pickup truck comes standard with the F-150’s base engine, a 290-horsepower V6. It powers the rear wheels via a 10-speed automatic transmission. And if you’re looking for a rugged, off-road adventure, you can equip your XL with optional four-wheel drive.

And the XL is extremely flexible, allowing you to equip yours with any of the F-150’s optional engines. That means you can optimize hauling capabilities with the available 5.0-liter V8. Or you can increase fuel efficiency with the powerful hybrid V6 engine, helping your F-150 earn up to 25 mpgcombined.

However you equip your F-150, you can expect a powerful performance. And Ford’s best selling truck is also known for its nimble steering, helping you guide this big vehicle through a narrow space.
