Compare The 2025 Ford F-150 XL vs King Ranch - Surprise, AZ

The Ford F-150 has been America's best-selling truck for 48 years and counting, and for good reason. Even the entry-level trim often outclasses many fully loaded alternatives. If you want the ultimate in pickup performance, the F-150 is the one. The lineup starts at XL and climbs to King Ranch-two trims that offer vastly different experiences. Be sure to determine which features matter most before you compare.

Performance

The XL is equipped with a 2.7L EcoBoost V6 and a 10-speed automatic transmission. Its 23-gallon tank in the regular-cab variant means fewer stops for gas. With 325 horsepower, productivity never slows. King Ranch models step up to a 400-hp 3.5L V6. Both trims can also be outfitted with the optional 5.0L Ti-VCT V8.

Appearance

The XL's minimalist styling includes a black front grille, matching bumper, and LED reflector headlamps. Standard exterior features include bed storage boxes, a power-lock tailgate, and heated side mirrors. King Ranch models add premium touches: twin-panel moonroof, two-tone paint, LED cargo box lights, and a remote tailgate release.

Features

Inside, XL trims feature black vinyl seats and flooring that's easy to clean. King Ranch cabins, in contrast, showcase a Mesa leather-wrapped steering wheel, color-matched carpeting and branded floor mats, a full heads-up display, and ambient lighting. A B&O Unleashed audio system and enhanced safety features like Pro Trailer Hitch Assist come standard. Whether you need the basics or near-full amenities, these trims have you covered.
