One of the most famous songs by the Rolling Stones is called “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.” The song goes on to say that if you try sometimes, you just might find you get what you need. But when Mick Jagger wrote that song, he had never driven a Ford F-150 XLT. If Mick had, he’d have needed to change the lyrics to “You can always get what you want and what you need.” This is because the XLT trim on the 2025 Ford F-150 is the perfect blend of standard features and optional equipment that lets you get a truck with the things you need, while allowing you to configure it to give you the best performance and capability you want.

The Perfect Blend of Performance and Capability
Ford has made it easy for drivers like you to choose the kind of capabilities you want out of your truck when you pick an XLT trim. This is because you get to choose between a variety of different engines, including a hybrid, as well as a drivetrain system that will give you the performance you are looking for in your full-size truck.
Drivers who want to get exceptional fuel economy in their F-150 XLT will love to opt for a 3.5-liter PowerBoost Hybrid V6. This pairs Ford’s gas engine with a motor powered by a lithium-ion battery pack. The result is over 430 hp, with an impressive 23 MPG combined, which is sure to put a smile on any driver’s face. You also don’t miss out on capability, as the 2025 F-150 XLT with a hybrid engine will give you the capability to tow up to 11,200 lbs.
You can see the same balance of performance, capability, and efficiency in the other engine options on the F-150 XLT. The 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 on this truck is almost as efficient as the hybrid, giving you up to 21 MPG in combined fuel economy, while the 5.0-liter “Coyote” V8 gives you incredible strength, with an output of 400 hp. If you are planning to use your F-150 XLT primarily for towing, then you will appreciate the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, which can help you tow up to 13,500 lbs.
Some drivers need the excellent trailering capacity provided by choosing a 4×2 drivetrain system. This will help you maximize the towing capability of your Ford F-150 XLT. Other drivers may prefer the traction that you get with a 4×4 system. With this model of Ford’s famous full-size truck, you get to choose which one is better for you.
An Exterior Appearance That Will Stand Out in a Crowd
Many drivers want a truck that not only performs well but also looks good doing it. This is certainly the case with the XLT. This truck features a set of front and rear chrome bumpers, a black-painted coast-to-coast grille with black mesh and a chrome center bar, and a set of chrome running boards that not only look cool but will also make it easier for you and your passengers to get into and out of your truck.
Depending on the type of engine you choose, you will get a great set of wheels and tires for your F-150 XLT. If you opt for a 4×2, your truck will ride on 17-inch wheels with all-season tires, while those with a 4×4 come equipped with 18-inch wheels wrapped with all-terrain tires. Drivers who choose a 4×4 can help to accessorize their truck to make it more off-road capable, including adding a set of skid plates to shield the fuel tank, transfer case, and front differential. With a minimum ground clearance of 8.2 inches, you are already on your way to having a truck built for your next personal adventure.
Trailering Tech and Bed Configurations
One thing you will notice about the 2025 Ford F-150 XLT is the amount of advanced tech features that come standard or are available on this truck. This will make it easier to get the job done while improving your truck’s utility during your free time. The F-150 XLT comes with Ford’s zone lighting system. This allows you to control the individual sections of the truck’s exterior lights. You can then set the headlights, fog lamps, payload bed lights, and puddle lights to provide you with the illumination you need for things like camping, tailgating, or working outdoors.
You can also get the technology you need to make trailering safer and easier. The F-150 XLT comes with Trailer Reverse Guidance. This will help guide the standard Class IV hitch on your truck to line up with your trailer. If you plan to do a great deal of towing, you can add such technology as Pro Trailer Backup Assist and Pro Trailer Hitch Assist to improve your F-150 XLT’s capabilities. These available features will remove many of the headaches you may encounter when working with a trailer.
Ford offers two different payload bed sizes on the F-150 XLT. The short 5.5 ft bed holds up to 52.8 cu.ft. of cargo, while the standard 6.5 ft bed has 62.3 cu.ft. of space. However, the F-150 XLT is not just about hauling cargo. It also offers other capabilities with your payload bed. You can add a Tailgate Step to make it easier to load and unload cargo, as well as a Tailgate Work Surface, which will come in handy when you are at a job site or are outdoors camping.
When you add the available Pro Power Onboard feature to your truck’s payload bed, you can use your truck as a power source for tools, lighting, and appliances. It is this type of ingenuity that helps set the F-150 XLT apart from other trucks.
Infotainment and Connectivity
Whether you choose an F-150 XLT with a SuperCab or SuperCrew, you will have the space and ability to keep everyone connected and entertained. This is because Ford has given this truck a SYNC 4 system with a 12-inch capacitive touchscreen. This system allows you to pair your smartphones using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, so you can make hands-free calls and texts while streaming your favorite music from your phone’s apps. If you are really into music, you can add a B&O Sound System by Bang & Olufsen, one of the leaders in audio equipment, turning your truck into a mobile concert hall.
There are other available technological features that you can choose on your F-150 XLT to make riding in it more enjoyable. You can choose to have the cloth trimmed, front row seats on the truck heated. This will come in handy on cold winter mornings. You can also add a wireless charging pad, allowing you and your passengers to keep your devices charged, even if you have left your charging cables at home. This is all part of Ford’s effort to make driving an F-150 XLT more enjoyable, giving you comfort and convenience features in a pickup truck that you would usually only find in a sedan or SUV.
