How Much Is a Ford F-150? We Break Down All of Its (Many) Trims

• All models feature a 12-inch central touchscreen display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support.
• Engine choices range from hybrids V6s to supercharged V8s.
• 5.5-foot, 6.5-foot, and 8-foot bed sizes are offered, but availability is tied to specific models and cab configurations.

F-150 STX: $47,650

Available in Super Cab and SuperCrew configurations, the STX offers more distinctive look than the XL thanks to its 18-inch gloss black wheels and body-color exterior accents. The turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 and 10-speed automatic come standard here as well, along with a black cloth interior and color-coordinated floor mats. If you're looking for a bit more style than the XL has to offer, the STX's additional outlay of $2,525 is a relatively small price to pay. For those seeking a more overt street performance look and feel, the STX's optional Lobo package features the 5.0-liter Coyote V8, 22-inch wheels, a 3.73 electronically locking rear axle, a unique body kit, and a lowered suspension. 

F-150 XLT: $48,490

The XLT is our go-to trim for the latest F-150. Seventeen-inch alloy wheels are standard on the 4x2 (4x4 models get 18-inch painted alloy wheels), while body-color bumpers, LED foglights, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, additional rear USB ports, and two-way manually adjustable front seats add a dose of civility to the proceedings. The XLT also offers more choices for both exterior paint colors and cloth upholstery hues, along with a much greater range of available equipment, but you'll have to be judicious with the options sheet if you want to keep costs down. 

F-150 Lariat: $62,355

Although the F-150 Lariat demands a massive $14,865 premium over the F-150 XLT, it's a substantially more luxurious and significantly more capable in its standard form. A 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 making 382 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque is standard here, while both the 5.0-liter V8 and a hybrid 3.5-liter V6 are optionally available. Power-folding side mirrors, LED headlights and taillights, and chrome accents give the exterior a more upscale appearance, while heated and ventilated front seats, push-button start, and a B&O premium audio system continue the theme inside. Note that SuperCrew is the sole cab configuration for the Lariat and the pricier trims listed below. 

F-150 Tremor: $67,710

Offering more off-road capability than the FX4 Off-Road package that's available on the XLT and other F-150 trims but a less comprehensive makeover than the dune-jumping F-150 Raptor, the F-150 Tremor gets all of the XLT's standard equipment plus a large roster of unique upgrades. Along with the orange accents found inside and out as well as creature comforts like a B&O sound system and heated front seats, the F-150 Tremor features a uniquely tuned off-road suspension and 18-inch wheels with a matte finish that are wrapped in 33-inch all-terrain tires. Skid plates, unique running boards, and a model-specific dual-outlet exhaust system are also part of the deal, but you'll need to spring for the Tremor High package (a $10,865 option) if you want to get that Warn winch on the front bumper. 

F-150 King Ranch: $68,620

Taking a more Southwestern-themed approach to the luxury pickup concept, the F-150 King Ranch includes all of the standard equipment found in the F-150 Lariat and ushers in unique 20-inch alloy wheels, two-tone paint schemes, and front leather bucket seats with King Ranch badging. Other standard equipment includes the Tow/Haul package, which brings in an integrated trailer brake controller and a 3.55 electronic-locking rear axle, as well as the Bed Utility package, which adds bed storage boxes, a tailgate step, LED bed lighting, and other quality-of-life improvements to the mix. In addition to the standard 3.5-liter V6, the F-150 King Ranch is also offered with a 3.5-liter V6 hybrid powertrain that makes 430 horsepower and 570 lb-ft of torque. 

F-150 Platinum: $71,595

Although it features the same standard 3.5-liter V6 and optional hybrid V6 as the F-150 King Ranch, the F-150 Platinum brings its own flavor of luxury to the table. Its monochromatic paint scheme, gloss black 20-inch wheels, and premium leather upholstery give this trim a more sophisticated look and feel. Standard equipment like the Tow/Haul package, the Bed Utility package, and the Mobile Office package (the latter of which includes a center console work surface and wireless phone charging) also ensures that the F-150 Platinum can still get work done when the situation calls for it. 

F-150 Raptor: $81,800

Ford's desert-running pickup features a bold look and serious off-roading capability. Standard power comes from a 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 that dishes out 450 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque, but if that's not enough power for you, Ford also offers the F-150 Raptor R, which is motivated by a 5.2-liter supercharged V8 that produces a massive 720 hp and 640 lb-ft of torque. 

It's worth noting that if you want the V8, you're going to have to pony up. The Raptor R costs an eye-watering $114,420, and that's before you start fiddling with the options list. 

These hot-rodded powertrains are complemented by huge all-terrain rubber (35-inch tires are standard for the F-150 Raptor, while the F-150 Raptor R bumps things up to 37s), adaptive performance shocks from Fox Racing, and a specially reinforced, high-strength steel frame that's designed for extreme off-road durability. Unique bodywork and widened stance add to its visual presence as well as its off-road capability, while the model-specific leather and suede-trimmed upholstery and Recaro performance seats up front bring a sense of occasion to the cabin. 

There really is an F-150 for everybody, but it's hard to go wrong once you reach the XLT (or higher).
