2022 Ford F-150 XL

As the entry-level F-150 pickup truck, the XL is a pretty basic workhorse. But it comes with items you’ll appreciate, such as cloth upholstery, air conditioning, and a 4-inch digital gauge cluster. The SYNC 4 infotainment is also standard, which means you’ll enjoy an 8-inch central touchscreen and the wireless versions of Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

There are also a number of upgrades available for the F-150 XL, including power door locks and a power-adjustable driver’s seat. And work-friendly tech features, such as a power-locking tailgate and the Pro Power Onboard electrical generator.

The XL engine that’s right for you will deliver the performance you need, whether that means maximizing payloads or fuel efficiency. This F-150 trim model is incredibly versatile, with five available engines to help you achieve your aims. The base V6 delivers plenty of power. However, if you require more, you can look to the 5.0-liter V8 to take hauling capabilities to the next level and the turbo 3.5-liter V6 to maximize tow ratings. The turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 improves on the base engine with more power and greater fuel economy. But for the most efficient ride, you need the PowerBoost hybrid engine, which can help the F-150 earn up to 25 mpg combined.

Here’s a look at the output of each F-150 XL engine option:

• 3.3-liter V6 (290 horsepower, 265 lb-ft of torque)
• Turbo 2.7L V6 (325 hp, 400 lb-ft)
• 5.0L V8 (400 hp, 410 lb-ft)
• Turbo 3.5L V6 (400 hp, 500 lb-ft)
• Hybrid 3.5L PowerBoost V6 (430 hp, 570 lb-ft)

The F-150 XL not only comes standard with driver safety aids, but it also earned impressive crash-test scores. In government crash tests, the 2022 F-150 earned a perfect five-star overall rating in crashworthiness tests. And the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety named the 2022 F-150 a 2022 Top Safety Pick!

The XL comes with two important driver safety aids. The lane departure warning system notifies you when you’ve strayed outside your lane without signaling. The forward collision mitigation system can sense an oncoming collision and automatically engage the brakes.
