The Ford Super Duty line is the perfect blend of practical work truck and luxury vehicle. Ford has perfected the F-series over the years, making it one of the most popular pickups on the market today. While it hasn’t seen many changes from 2023 to 2024, let’s take a look at one of its trims, the Super Duty XLT, to find out just what makes it tick. Is it the truck for you?
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The XLT’s standard engine is a powerful 7.3-liter V8; however, there are two diesel options should you desire even more to get up and go.
- The XLT—and the whole Super Duty line—were created with work in mind, so its towing and payload capacity goes above and beyond for whatever you need on a worksite or when hitting the road on an adventure.
- Ford continues its promise to make comfort a priority. Inside the cab are all the bells and whistles you need to make your journey a pleasurable one.
- The Ford F-250 XLT starts about $51,015, which is a solid deal for a middle of the road work truck.
What is offered on the XLT for engine options?
The Super Duty’s base trim, the XL has four engine options, including a respectable 6.8-liter V8. This engine is not available in the XLT trim and above—they come standard with a 7.3-liter V8, delivering 430 horsepower and 485 lb-ft of torque.
You also have the option of even greater power in a 6.7-liter Turbodiesel V8 (with 475 horsepower and 1,050 lb-ft of torque) or a 6.7-liter Turbodiesel HO V8 (with 500 horsepower and 1,200 lb-ft of torque) when mated with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Like other trims in the series, XLT is available in three weight classes—F-250, F-350, and F-450. The XLT is standard with two wheel drive, although four wheel drive is also available.
What is the Ford Super Duty XLT’s towing capacity?
The Ford Super Duty is known to be a beast when it comes towing and the XLT is part of that legend. It can tow up to 22,000 pounds when properly equipped. The F-350 weight class has a 8,000 pound payload capacity. Some tech that supports these mammoth towing numbers (and makes hauling this weight much safer) include:
- Pro trailer hitch assist and backup assist systems
- Pro trailer hitch assist and backup assist systems
- Pro trailer hitch assist and backup assist systems
- Onboard scales and smart hitch
Comfort in the Super Duty
The XLT (and greater Super Duty line) is extremely comfortable to the point that you almost forget it’s a work truck! Its center console folds down to a flat work surface, which, with all the connectivity it offers, is a mini office on the go. The XLT’s front seats fold all the way down when you need to take a power nap. You can also choose the length of the cab, should you need more space—an extended SuperCab or a four-door SuperCrew cab.
Others features and options include a 12-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 110-volt power outlets and a Bang and Olufsen stereo system with eight speakers (with the option of a 1080-watt, 18-speaker system.)
There is plenty of room for your items in the XLT’s many cubby and storage areas, one of which is a lockbox under the backseat!
