2022 Ford F-150 XLT

Owning a 2022 F150 XLT feels like having a solid, no frills workhorse that doesn't leave you wanting for modern features. It isn't full luxury, but it delivers a good mix of capability, comfort, and tech without overreaching.

What Makes It Up

First off, the XLT is one trim above the base XL, which means you get more creature comforts and nicer finishes. Youll see chrome or nicer trim touches, actual alloy wheels instead of just steel wheels, better mirrors, nicer interior materials. The seats are cloth, usually pretty durable, and the drivers seat has some power adjustability (though not always loaded with features like memory or full power in all directions, depending on which options your specific truck has).

On the tech front, the 2022 XLT steps up beyond the basics. Standard infotainment is Fords SYNC system with an 8inch touchscreen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included. Theres WiFi hotspot capability. The safety suite is pretty modern: Ford CoPilot360 2.0 comes standard, which includes features like forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, lanekeeping alerts, etc. All these things help with everyday driving, making highway stints, work drives, or family hauling more comfortable and safer.

Power & Performance

Under the hood, the standard engine is a 3.3liter V6 producing around 290 horsepower and 265 lbft of torque. That engine gives the truck reliable onroad performance, though when you load it up, tow, or need extra grunt, it isnt going to be the most powerful option.

If you want more performance or towing capability, Ford gives you options. You can step up to the turbocharged 2.7L EcoBoost V6, the 3.5L EcoBoost, or even the traditional 5.0L V8 depending on how you spec it. Theres also a hybrid powertrain option that combines a twinturbo 3.5L V6 with an electric motor. All engines are mated to a 10speed automatic transmission. RWD is standard, but 4WD is optional.

Ride, Utility & Features

On the road, the ride is solid. The XLT gets you a more comfortable cabin than the base trim, with less road noise, a smoother ride, especially when its lightly loaded. When you have cargo or a trailer, youll notice that the truck flexes into its work role reminds you its meant to haul, tow, and carry. Bed and cab configurations vary, and that matters: SuperCrew (crew cab) versions give you more passenger comfort in the back, better leg room, etc. Also, there are package options (appearance, utility, towing) that can add value depending on how you use it.

Features like powerlocking tailgate, better mirrors, optional fog lights, sometimes cornering lamps, etc., help make the XLT more usable day to day. The interior is durable, fairly roomy, although in maximum towing or moving cargo you feel the load. The payload and towing are respectable, especially with upgraded engines, but you pay in fuel and sometimes in ride quality when hefty loads are attached.
