2022 Ford F-150 XLT

For the 2022 model year, the F-150’s optional diesel engine has been discontinued. And XLT shoppers can now add a Black Appearance package, which transforms this truck inside and out.

The Black Appearance package includes:

• 20-inch gloss black aluminum wheels
• 6-inch black angular step bars
• Black exterior badging
• Black bodyside decal
• Black headlamp bezels
• Black interior appliques
• Dual exhaust with black tips (with 3.5L EcoBoost engines only)
• Leather-trimmed bucket seats
• Matte black tailgate decals
• Unique hood and grille with black accents

The right F-150 engine for you is the one that meets your unique towing and hauling needs. The standard V6 won’t cost you any extra money, and it’s a sturdy, capable option in its own right. However, if you want to tow max loads (up to 14,000 pounds, depending on configuration and equipment), you’re going to need the turbocharged 3.5-liter V6. To haul the biggest payloads (up to 3,325 pounds), on the other hand, you’ll need the 5.0-liter V8 engine.

On the other hand, if you prefer to balance power with efficiency, you have two options. The turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 helps the F-150 earn up to 22 mpg combined. And the hybrid PowerBoost engine is even more efficient, with EPA ratings of up to 25 mpg combined.

XLT shoppers can choose from five engine options:

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

The F-150 XLT is a people-pleaser, with a cabin stocked with modern comforts and cutting-edge tech gear. This pickup truck features roomy cloth seating, air conditioning, and carpeted flooring. But it’s also available with comfort-inducing options, such as dual-zone automatic climate control and heated front seats. The XLT also comes standard with the latest infotainment interface, SYNC 4, which includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Safety systems, such as automatic emergency braking and lane-keeping assist, are designed to help you avoid drama.
