The 2019 Ford F-150 has been one of the most popular pickup trucks on the market since its release due to its affordable price, advanced performance, towing capacity, and comfortable interior. It also comes with many trim levels and configurations that you can choose from. If you want to know which trim level might suit you best, here is a detailed comparison between the XL and XLT trims.
Performance
Both the 2019 Ford F-150 XL and XLT trims come standard with the same 3.3-liter V-6 engine that delivers 290 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque. However, you can choose between two other available engines that deliver more horsepower and torque: a 2.7-liter V-6 and a 5.0-liter V-8.
While both trims have the same six-speed automatic transmission, there’s an available 10-speed automatic transmission that you can opt for. As for the drivetrain, the XL and XLT models come with two-wheel-drive, but all-wheel-drive is also available. So, when it comes to performance, there are no differences between either trim.
Driver Assistance Systems
The 2019 Ford F-150 contains many standard and available driver assistance systems. The XL and XLT feature automatic headlamps and high beams, pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, auto start/stop engine technology, cruise control, AdvanceTrac with roll stability control, and a rearview camera with dynamic hitch assist. Available systems include hill descent control, pro trailer backup assist, and a reverse sensing system. The voice-activated navigation system is only available with the XLT.
Entertainment Systems
The 2019 Ford F-150 has several advanced interior services that will keep you entertained during long trips. Both the XL and XLT have an AM/FM stereo, but you can add other available systems, including a Kicker subwoofer and SiriusXM satellite radio, which has over 150 channels covering news, music, comedy, and more. Moreover, Ford SYNC 3 lets you rewind any broadcasted content.
The XLT includes the FordPass Connect system, which will let you connect up to 10 devices simultaneously to your truck’s in-vehicle Wi-Fi hot spot. The SYNC 3 system is available with the XL, and the FordPass Connect system only comes with the XLT and other higher trims.
Safety Systems
You will get tire pressure monitoring, anti-lock brakes, and six air bags – including front and seat-mounted air bags and side curtains – with both models. However, the blind spot monitoring system is only available with the XLT.
Ford’s AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control system, which is available on both trims, helps maintain traction on all road conditions, as it will apply individual brakes and modify the engine’s power output for maximum stability.
With the above-mentioned comparisons, you won’t be confused about your favorite F-150 model anymore. The XL and XLT have the same performance specs, but if you are looking for a better exterior design and more advanced interior technology features, the XLT trim could be your perfect choice.
