Performance & Capability

Under the hood, the 2025 Ford F-150 XLT features the EcoBoost 2.7L V-6 engine, a twin-turbocharged marvel that delivers 325HP.

The mechanical foundation of this truck is built for durability, utilizing an iron engine block and an independent front suspension with double wishbones and coil springs. At the rear, the leaf spring rear suspension and rigid axle provide the stability required for hauling gear or navigating unpaved paths. Efficiency is also a priority, with Auto stop-start engine technology and active grille shutters helping the vehicle achieve an EPA-estimated 24 MPG on the highway. For those who need to bring more along for the ride, the Class IV tow rating and trailer sway control make hitching up a boat or trailer a seamless process.

The 40/20/40 split-bench front seat provides versatility, offering a front seat center armrest with storage or an additional middle seat when needed. The driver enjoys manual driver seat lumbar support and 4-way directional controls to find the perfect position for long hauls. Rear passengers are treated to 60-40 folding rear seats with a rear under seat tray for secure storage of tools or outdoor gear.

Climate comfort is managed through the dual-zone front climate control and voice-activated climate control, allowing both the driver and passenger to set their preferred temperatures. Rear under seat climate control ducts ensure that those in the back stay comfortable in every season. Convenience features abound, including remote keyless entry, power windows with one-touch up/down, and power door mirrors.

The BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) and Cross-Traffic Alert provide an extra set of eyes when changing lanes or backing out of tight spots. For forward-facing protection, the Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection and forward collision mitigation with left turn assist help monitor the road ahead. The Lane Keeping Alert system is also included to help keep you centered during long highway stints.

Maneuvering this truck is made simpler with rear parking sensors and a Reverse Camera, providing a clear view of what is behind you. The vehicle also features Post-Collision Braking, which is designed to apply the brakes after an impact to help prevent a secondary collision. With 6 airbags, including the Safety Canopy System curtain airbags, and 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS, the F-150 is engineered to protect you and your passengers on every journey.

Exterior & Design

The exterior of this F-150 is finished in striking Agate Black Metallic, complemented by a black painted grille with a chrome center bar. The 18-inch chrome-like PVD wheels and chrome front and rear bumpers add a touch of brilliance to the truck's profile. Practicality is woven into the design with 2 front tow hooks, a rear step bumper, and 6-inch angular bright anodized step bars for easy access to the cabin and the standard style pickup box.

Visibility is enhanced by LED low and high beam headlights, LED front fog lights, and auto high-beam headlights that adjust automatically based on surrounding traffic. The heated door mirrors are a welcome feature during frosty mornings, while deep tinted windows provide privacy and sun protection.
