2011 Ford F-150 XLT

The F-150 is Ford's full-size pickup, the truck that anchors the brand and goes up against the Silverado and Ram 1500. It drives with a comfortable, planted feel, and the steering is light enough for easy maneuvering around town. The SuperCrew cab gives you four real doors and a back seat that fits adults, with seats that fold up for secure cargo space. The bed is tall enough that shorter folks will want a step, but the tailgate and bed are genuinely useful for hauling. Stepping up from the XL to the XLT gets you upgraded cloth upholstery, power windows and locks, and a nicer standard audio system. The 5.0L V8 makes 360 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, giving it strong pulling power for a half-ton truck. This XLT can be optioned with the FX4 off-road package, which adds skid plates, hill descent control, and off-road-tuned shocks.
