Used 2020 Ford F-450 Super Duty Crew Cab Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2020 Ford F-450 Super Duty is a full-size heavy-duty pickup available in six trim levels: XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum and Limited. Cab configurations include regular cab (XL and XLT only) and crew cab, each equipped with an 8.2-foot bed and a dual rear-wheel axle. The only engine is a turbocharged 6.7-liter diesel V8 that puts out an impressive 475 horsepower and 1,050 lb-ft of torque. A 10-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive are standard, and four-wheel drive is optional.

Base XL models come standard with 19.5-inch commercial tires mounted on polished forged aluminum wheels, which bring the only real bling to the truck's exterior. Inside, the F-450 XL is equipped with air conditioning, vinyl seat and floor coverings, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, and manual windows and door locks. A rearview camera is standard, along with Sync Bluetooth connectivity and FordPass Connect including Wi-Fi service for up to 10 devices. Every F-450 also has a trailer-towing preparation package for fifth-wheel and gooseneck trailers.

Step up to the XLT and you get chrome exterior trim, cloth upholstery, carpeted floors, and power-operated mirrors, windows and door locks. Sync 3 infotainment is standard with XLT trim, adding an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. Ford also equips the F-450 XLT with its Co-Pilot360 suite of driving assistance and collision avoidance systems.

The midrange Lariat adds power-adjustable front seats, leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, power-adjustable pedals, and a 10-speaker premium sound system. This version also includes power-telescoping and -folding side mirrors, a power-sliding rear window, and rear parking sensors.

Western-themed King Ranch models add special exterior and interior trim, along with unique leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, and a heated steering wheel. This trim also equips the F-450 with remote engine starting, automatic wipers with a de-icing function, a power-remote tailgate release, wireless device charging, a navigation system, and camera-based trailer towing aids.

Platinum models throw in adaptive steering, adaptive cruise control, LED headlights and foglights, power-deploying side steps, and a built-in tailgate step. Premium leather and heated rear seats are also standard.

At the top of the lineup is the Limited trim level. It comes only with four-wheel drive and includes a fancy grille, massaging front seats wrapped in exclusive two-tone leather, leather-wrapped dashboard and door armrest trim, a faux suede headliner, and a dual-panel sunroof.

Many standard features offered on upper trim levels are available as options on the rest of the lineup. Other noteworthy add-ons include fifth-wheel and gooseneck trailer hitch kits, a power takeoff feature to power accessories using the engine, stowable loading ramps, a supplemental rapid cab heater, trailer tire-pressure monitoring and a spray-in bedliner.

Which F-450 Super Duty trim does Edmunds recommend?

Our recommendation for most F-450 buyers is the XLT trim level. Available in regular-cab or crew-cab configuration, XLT trim delivers maximum towing and hauling capability combined with most of the features you'll really want, such as Sync 3 infotainment and Ford's CoPilot360 safety systems.
