2023 Ford F-150 XLT
If you like all the features of the 2023 Ford F-150 XL, you'll love the features of the 2023 Ford F-150 XLT. The XLT builds upon the underlying features presented by the XL and elevates them a bit more for usefulness and enjoyment as you take on the road in Ceres, CA. You won't find much difference in the powertrain options for the XL and XLT, but these models do differ in other areas like entertainment, design, and safety.
The XLT throws in chrome bumpers, 17-inch painted alloy wheels, and color-keyed carpet to set itself apart in Modesto, CA. It then adds other options, like dual-zone automatic climate control, heated power front seats, and a 12.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with included navigation.
Intelligent Access keyless entry with push button start is another convenient amenity you'll find in the XLT but not the XL. The XLT also offers a 360-degree camera, a twin-panel moonroof in its Supercab layout, and a power sliding rear window as available options.
In the XLT, safety features are also more advanced than those of the XL. It includes LED fog lights to help you see in challenging driving conditions and a remote-release tailgate that allows you to conveniently load items in the 2023 Ford F-150 XLT with the touch of a button. A premium 8-speaker B&O Sound System always entertains, while an optional FX4 off-road package is appealing to some.
Standard blind-spot monitoring and available intelligent adaptive cruise control are offered in the 2023 Ford F-150 XLT, but not the 2023 Ford F-150 XL.
