Your 2024 F-150 Trim Guide
The Ford F-150 is one of the best-selling full-size, light-duty pickups in America. Drivers just can’t get enough of its customization options, reliability, durability, and intuitive design. Since it’s available in a diverse range of trims, it’s also easy to find the F-150 that suits your specific needs and habits. If you’re looking for a Ford F-150 for sale near Snellville, we’d love to introduce you to the many models of this terrific pickup. Below, we’ll go over the various personalities of the F-150 to help you narrow down your search for the perfect trim.
The XL: Functionality at its Finest
If you need a reliable and well-made work truck to take to jobs around the Atlanta metropolitan area, you can’t go wrong with the XL. For a starting trim, it has a lot to offer. It will truly impress you with its driver assist and safety functions. Along with many of the features drivers have come to demand, like Automatic Emergency Braking and Blind Spot Information System, it also has advanced features like Hill Start Assist to keep your vehicle from rolling downhill when you switch from the brake to the gas pedal and Auto Start-Stop Technology, which automatically turns off the engine when idling to conserve fuel.
With its 2.7L EcoBoost V6 and its selectable drive modes like Eco, Sport, Tow/Haul, and Slippery, it’s a versatile pickup ready for city and country roads. Plus, it’s got some excellent technology to keep you on top of your schedule, including SYNC 4 with enhanced voice recognition, a large 12-inch touchscreen, and the vehicle’s Wi-Fi hotspot to connect to the Internet on the road.
The STX: the XL, but Prettier
Some refer to the STX as more of an appearance package than a trim. It builds upon the XL with some striking style details. It bumps you up from the XL’s 17-inch silver steel wheels to 20-inch dark gray ones with machined aluminum. Instead of the black bumpers you find on the XL, you get body-color ones on the STX for a sleeker aesthetic. Plus, you’ll benefit from LED fog and cornering lamps, which not only look good but also improve visibility in low-light settings. You’ll also get the addition of skid plates over the fuel tank, transfer case, and front differential on 4X4 models. So, if you have to roam off Route 78 to dirt roads, the STX can handle it.
The XLT: Customizable Convenience
We like to recommend the XLT to drivers who demand a little more from their truck than the XL is appropriate for. It’s ideal for those who have to tow and haul large vessels on a regular basis because it comes standard with Pro Trailer Backup Assist and Pro Trailer Hitch Assist. The former helps you steer your trailer when backing your truck up so you can get it into that barn or driveway in one try. The latter feature helps you line your trailer up with your pickup, making it easier to hitch your vessel to your truck without much assistance from an onlooker.
You’ll also notice a long list of tire options when ordering your XLT, plus several available convenience features like a console work surface and wireless charging. You can even choose between several seating materials, making it a trim that’s easy to tailor to your preferences.
The Tremor: an Off-Road Warrior
Ready for some off-road fun? Consider the Tremor, the starting off-road trim. It has Ford’s popular Trail Control system. When activated, Trail Control lets you select a low speed, then it takes over braking and throttle response, directing torque to where it’s needed. 1-Pedal Drive lets you speed up and slow down using just your gas pedal, reducing some driving fatigue on bumpy terrain. It also has Trail Turn Assist, which reduces the truck’s turning radius when taking tight corners at low speeds.
The Tremor gets some drive modes that previous trims don’t, including deep Snow/Sand, Mud/Rut, and Rock Crawl. Appropriately, it’s only available as a 4X4 model, and it jumps up to a 5.0L V8 to give you some extra power in tricky situations.
The Lariat: the Luxury Starter
The F-150 has a few luxury trims, and the Lariat is a great one for shoppers who want to remain in the under $70,000 range but want some creature comforts.[a] First off, you’ll notice a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel with thumb pads. You’ll be quite comfortable riding in this trim, thanks to the heated and ventilated front seats. So when those famously hot Snellville summer days hit, you’ll stay cool in the Lariat.
The 10-way power driver seat should have more than enough settings to get you in the right position for long drives. Meanwhile, the Bang & Olufsen sound system will let you crank those tunes on your way to work or fun. You can keep small essentials in the flow-through center console. When you arrive home at the end of your adventures, open the garage with the standard universal garage door opener.
The King Ranch: Rugged Meets Luxury
Honor your inner rancher in the King Ranch, a model that combines rugged capabilities with refined styling. On the exterior, you’ll instantly notice the grille with its chrome surround and bronze accents. The two-tone paint treatment helps this trim stand out from its siblings, as do the power-deployable running boards that make it easy to hop in and out of the cab. Let the outside in with the twin-panel moonroof that offers sprawling sky vistas.
On the utility front, Pro Power Onboard comes standard on this trim. So whether you’re enjoying a cookout and need a mini fridge and electric grill or you’re tackling a job that calls for power tools, plug it all into your truck’s convenient onboard generator.
The Platinum: Ultimate Luxury Unleashed
The Platinum is beautiful inside and out and extremely comfortable. Its unique multicontour seats will provide support to critical points and reduce bodily fatigue. Plus, the Active Motion feature provides a gentle rolling massage—how’s that for luxury? With a gloss black accented grille and 20-inch gloss black wheels, it’s sure to make a statement. If you want to turn heads and enjoy your commute, consider the Platinum. It contains most of the convenience and tech features found in the Lariat, too.
The Raptor: for Rougher Roads
Finally, we land at the Raptor, the upper echelon of off-road trims for the F-150. It has an available Supercharged 5.2L V8 engine that’s exclusive to this trim. Heavy-duty skid plates make it ready to tackle unpredictable terrain, where rocks and debris might fly up. Sport-tuned shock absorbers will ensure a smooth ride when the road beneath you is anything but. Plus, the available 37-inch all-terrain tires will give you optimal traction on mud, sand, dirt—you name it.
