The 2025 Ford F-150 XLT arrives in Carbonized Gray Metallic, ready to handle the unique demands of life in Northern Michigan. Whether you are navigating the rolling hills of the Leelanau Peninsula or heading out for a weekend of fishing on the Grand Traverse Bay, this truck is designed to be your most reliable partner. In a region where your vehicle is often an extension of your lifestyle, the F-150 XLT balances rugged capability with the refined comfort needed for daily commutes through Traverse City, MI. This Crew Cab configuration ensures there is plenty of room for the whole crew, whether you are hauling gear to a job site or taking the family out to explore the scenic cherry orchards and local trails that define our beautiful landscape.

Performance & Capability

Under the hood of this F-150 is the powerful EcoBoost 2.7L V-6 engine, featuring a twin-turbocharged setup that delivers a robust 325HP. This engine uses a port and direct injection system paired with an iron engine block for long-term durability. It is mated to a 10-Speed Automatic transmission with SelectShift Sequential shift control, ensuring smooth power delivery whether you are cruising down the highway or navigating rural backroads.

The Four Wheel Drive system is bolstered by an Electronic transfer case shift and a Two-Speed Transfer Case, providing the traction necessary for unpredictable Michigan winters. You can tailor the truck's behavior to the terrain using the Driver selectable drivetrain mode, which includes a Tow/Haul Mode for those times you need to utilize the Class IV tow rating. The suspension is built for a balanced ride, featuring an Independent front suspension with a double wishbone design and a Rigid axle rear suspension with leaf springs. Despite its strength, the truck remains efficient with an EPA-estimated 24 highway MPG, supported by Active grille shutters and an Auto stop-start engine system to conserve fuel during frequent stops.

Technology & Connectivity

The interior of the 2025 Ford F-150 XLT is a hub of modern innovation, anchored by a 12 inch primary display with a responsive touchscreen interface. Drivers will appreciate the Digital/analog instrumentation display on a massive 12.00-inch gauge cluster screen, providing clear access to vital vehicle data. With SYNC 4 handsfree wireless device connectivity, staying connected while on the move is seamless and safe.

The truck features SYNC 4 AppLink/Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smart device wireless mirroring, allowing you to access your favorite navigation and music apps without plugging in. For those who prefer voice commands, the SYNC 4 with Enhanced Voice Recognition provides easy control over the audio system. Entertainment is delivered through Bluetooth wireless audio streaming and a Fixed audio antenna, while 6 USB ports located throughout the cabin ensure everyones devices stay charged. The Steering wheel mounted audio controls allow you to adjust your media without ever taking your eyes off the road.

Comfort & Interior

Inside, you will find a spacious cabin featuring Cloth front seat upholstery in a sophisticated Black and Medium Dark Slate color scheme. The 40/20/40 split-bench front seat offers versatility, including a Manual driver seat lumbar support and 4-way directional controls for both the driver and passenger. The rear of the Crew Cab is equally functional with 60-40 folding rear seats that include a Fold-up rear seat cushion and an Under seat tray for secure storage of tools or outdoor gear.

The environment is kept perfectly comfortable via Dual-zone front climate control and Voice activated climate control, while Rear under seat climate control ducts ensure those in the back stay warm during late-season trips across Traverse City, MI. Convenience features abound, including Remote keyless entry, Smart device remote start, and Power windows with one-touch up and down functionality. The Leatherette steering wheel adds a touch of refinement to the workspace, and Chrome and metal-look interior accents provide a modern, high-quality feel throughout the cabin.

Safety & Driver Assistance

Fords commitment to safety is evident in the comprehensive suite of driver-assist technologies included in this XLT. The BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) and Cross-Traffic Alert with Reverse Brake Assist provide an extra set of eyes when navigating busy parking lots or merging onto the highway. For front-end protection, the Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection and forward collision mitigation with left turn assist act as a vigilant co-pilot.

The truck is equipped with a Reverse Camera and a Reverse Sensing System to make hitching a trailer or backing into tight spots effortless. In the event of an unavoidable incident, the Post Collision Braking system helps prevent secondary impacts, while the Safety Canopy System provides overhead airbag protection for both rows. Additional peace of mind comes from the Lane Keeping Alert and a Driver Alert monitor that detects signs of fatigue. The 4-Wheel Disc Brakes with ABS and Brake assist ensure confident stopping power in all weather conditions.

Exterior & Design

The exterior of this F-150 is finished in Carbonized Gray Metallic, a color that perfectly complements the Black Painted Grille with Chrome Center Bar and Chrome front and rear bumpers. It sits proudly on 18-inch painted aluminum wheels wrapped in P275/65SR18 AT BSW tires, giving it a commanding stance. Practicality is baked into the design with 2 front tow hooks, a Rear step bumper, and 6-inch Angular Bright Anodized Step Bars for easy entry and exit.

Visibility is a priority, featuring LED low and high beam headlights, LED front fog lights, and Auto High-beam Headlights that adjust automatically to oncoming traffic. The Heated door mirrors are a necessity for clearing frost on early mornings, and the Deep tinted windows provide privacy and temperature control. The pickup box is ready for work with Pickup bed-rail protectors, a Tailgate Assist easy lift tailgate, and an LED cab mounted cargo light to illuminate your gear after the sun goes down.
