Ford F-150 Trim Levels
Ford F-150 Trim Levels and Tech Explained: Find Your Match Near Leonardtown, MD
Eight trim levels. Dozens of engine options. A spec sheet that could fill a binder.
The 2025 Ford F-150 is one of the most configurable trucks on the road, and that's exactly what makes it worth understanding before you shop.
The 2025 Ford F-150 is available in eight trim levels: XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, Limited, Tremor, and Raptor. Each is built for a different driver. Starting MSRPs range from approximately $38,710 for the XL to $78,905 and up for the Raptor, with engine choices spanning from a base V6 to a high-output EcoBoost and a standard hybrid on the Limited.
At Leonardtown Ford, we work with buyers from across Southern Maryland, including Leonardtown, Lexington Park, Lusby, and Mechanicsville, and we know that no two F-150 purchases look the same. This guide walks you through every trim, the tech that comes with it, and the questions that help you find the right fit.
Key Points: Ford F-150 Trim Levels Near Leonardtown, MD
Eight trims, one platform
From the bare-bones XL work truck to the off-road-built Raptor, every F-150 shares the same proven chassis. What's on top varies dramatically.
Tech scales with the trim
Ford Co-Pilot360 safety technology is standard across the lineup. SYNC 4 infotainment, a 12" digital cluster, and advanced driver assist arrive on the Lariat and above.
The Limited is the only trim with a standard hybrid powertrain
The 3.5L PowerBoost hybrid delivers 430 horsepower and 570 lb-ft of torque, plus a built-in 7.2 kW generator, and it comes standard on the Limited, not as an upgrade.
The 2025 Ford F-150 Trim Lineup at a Glance
Choosing a trim starts with understanding the field. Here's a snapshot of the full 2025 F-150 lineup.
| Trim | Starting MSRP* | Standard Engine | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| XL | "~$38,710" | 3.3L V6, 290 HP | Fleet, work truck, budget-first |
| XLT | "~$45,595" | 3.3L V6 (upgradable) | Daily driver, versatile config |

Two things worth noting: the Tremor and Lariat are less than $1,600 apart in base price, so if trail capability matters to you, it's worth comparing them side-by-side. Also, the Limited sits above the Raptor in price. It's the only trim in the lineup where a hybrid powertrain comes standard, with no gas-only option available.
Built for Work: The F-150 XL and XLT
The XL and XLT are the workhorses of the lineup. Ford Co-Pilot360 is Ford's driver-assist safety suite. It includes automatic emergency braking, pre-collision assist, a rearview camera, lane-keeping, and automatic high beams, and it comes standard on both trims. That's not a small thing. You're getting genuine safety tech even on the entry trim.
The XL starts at approximately $38,710 MSRP and keeps things practical: vinyl flooring, 17" steel wheels, an 8" touchscreen, and the essentials. The optional STX package adds 20" alloy wheels, body-colored bumpers, and fog lights without jumping to the next trim level.
The XLT, starting around $45,595 MSRP, opens up real configuration flexibility. The base V6 can be swapped for a 2.7L or 3.5L EcoBoost, a 5.0L V8, or even the PowerBoost hybrid. Add the optional BLIS. Blind Spot Information System is a radar-based feature that alerts the driver when a vehicle enters the truck's blind zone. It's a legitimate safety upgrade, and the XLT is a capable, affordable truck that punches well above its price point.
Comfort Meets Character: The F-150 Lariat and King Ranch
The Lariat is where the F-150 gets serious about interior quality. The 12" SYNC 4 touchscreen is Ford's infotainment platform that manages navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, wireless connectivity, and enhanced voice recognition. It replaces the 8" screen from the lower trims. Add a 12" digital productivity cluster, leather seating, automatic LED lighting, and Intelligent Access with Push-Button Start, and the Lariat feels like a genuinely different truck from the XLT. It starts at approximately $63,260 MSRP.
The King Ranch is the Lariat's rancher cousin, and it earns that name. Built on the 5.0L V8 with 400 estimated horsepower and up to 410 lb-ft of torque, it layers in signature King Ranch leather upholstery, dual 10-way power-adjustable seats, heated front and rear seating, adaptive cruise control, wireless charging, a B&O premium sound system, and 20" machined aluminum wheels. Rain-sensing wipers and Pro Trailer Backup Assist are standard. Starting around $74,805 MSRP, the King Ranch brings premium capability with a look that's genuinely distinctive.
Full Luxury on Four Wheels: The F-150 Platinum and Limited
Both the Platinum and Limited sit at the top of the F-150's luxury stack, but they get there differently. The Platinum, starting around $74,805 MSRP, takes the King Ranch's mechanical foundation (5.0L V8, 400 estimated HP) and replaces ranch styling with cleaner luxury cues. Multicontour seats with heating, ventilation, and Active Motion massage come standard. So do power-deployable running boards, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and 20" polished aluminum wheels.
The Limited is a different animal. PowerBoost is Ford's full hybrid powertrain that pairs a twin-turbo V6 with an electric motor for a combined 430 estimated horsepower and 570 estimated lb-ft of torque. The 3.5L PowerBoost is the only engine available at this trim. It also includes Pro Power Onboard, Ford's built-in generator system that delivers up to 7.2 kW of mobile power directly from the truck. Run power tools, charge equipment, or power a camp setup without a separate generator. Throw in a B&O Unleashed 18-speaker audio system, Active Motion massaging seats, onboard scales with smart hitch, and 22" polished aluminum wheels, and the Limited makes a compelling case as the most complete F-150 on the market.
Off-Road Ready: The F-150 Tremor and Raptor
The Tremor doesn't look like an off-road truck at first glance. That's part of the point. Starting at approximately $64,815 MSRP, it runs a 5.0L V8 with an estimated 400 HP but pairs it with Trail Control with Trail 1-Pedal Drive (which manages throttle and individual brakes across uneven terrain), Hill Descent Control, Tremor-specific off-road-tuned suspension with dedicated dampers, and six upfitter switches overhead. It's a legitimate off-road build for a buyer who also drives it to work every day, and it fits right in on the back roads around the Chesapeake.
The Raptor is something else entirely. It isn't just a trim level. It has its own widened body structure, Raptor-specific control arms and tie rods, a long-travel independent front suspension, and FOX Live Valve internal bypass shocks that adjust damping in real time. Standard 35" BFGoodrich all-terrain tires and flare fenders give it the stance to match. Under the hood: a 3.5L High-Output EcoBoost V6 delivering an estimated 450 HP and 510 lb-ft of torque. Starting around $78,905 MSRP, the Raptor is Ford's answer to the question: "What would this truck look like if we built it specifically for performance off-road use?" The short answer: pretty much exactly like this.
