When you are the absolute market leader, as Ford is with the F-150 pickup truck, you don't take change lightly. The F-150 is the most important, most profitable vehicle Ford makes. With nearly 900,000 annual sales, the F-150 has been the best-selling vehicle (car or truck) in America for 21 consecutive years.
Now, they've thrown away the old formula and created a brand new F-150 from the ground up.
Ford admits the new F-150 is bigger, heavier, and more expensive to build than the wildly successful previous version. It is also the best-handling, quietest, most car-like full-size pickup truck in the history of the world. All of the new F-150 models feature all-new interiors that show attention to detail. The seats vary, but all are comfortable and supportive. Ford says the F-150 will be sold at competitive prices, model for model, against the traditional American as well as the new Japanese competition.
To better meet the needs of different types of buyers, Ford created five distinct iterations of the F-150: XL, STX, XLT, FX4, and Lariat. Each boasts its own interior style and features engines, suspensions and cab configurations designed to meet specific needs. A myriad of configurations and options within these five model lines ensure buyers can select the right pickup for them.
XL is the budget-priced truck. It features an all-new work-truck interior and comes with all the basics such as 40/20/40 bench seats in vinyl or cloth, an all-plastic dashboard, a black grille and 17-inch steel wheels. XL is available in regular cab or SuperCab styles. XL is powered by Ford's 231-horsepower 4.6-liter V8 and comes with either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. An F-150 XL Regular Cab 2WD automatic retails for $21,215, while a long-wheelbase (145-inch) 4x4 is priced at $24,855.
STX is sportier than the XL, with a body-colored grille surround for the black bar grille, and 17-inch cast aluminum wheels. STX comes in Styleside (flat) and Flareside (fendered) body styles, in regular cab or SuperCab, with either a 6.5-foot or a 5.5-foot cargo box. An audiophile sound system with subwoofer and six-disc CD changer is optional. An STX starts at $22,215. (Manufacturer's suggested retail prices do not include the destination charge of $795.)
