I've been looking at Ford window stickers lately online by the hundreds in the last few weeks, and in reality there are only 3 factory trim levels as specified by Ford which you will see when researching their offerings.
XL is the lowest stock level trim offered, think company fleet vehicles and work trucks. The most basic of builds they offer.
XLT is the mid-level stock trim offered, which will add some upgraded features as to color choices and two-tone exteriors, some added chrome and also some upgrades to interior choices and functional accessories.
Lariat is the highest stock trim offered, which is where the greatest number of choices exist as to function, visual appearance and interior quality are available.
While it's true that you can also order vehicles as
King Ranch, Platinum and Limited (as well as
Cabelas, Harley-Davidson, FX4 and a few others even), all of those other "trim levels" are in reality
only choices that are offered as factory optional packages to a stock Lariat trim. Many of the features you might order as accesories or as optional equiptment seperately on an XLT truck (upgraded tires, leather interior, moonroof, etc.) are included as standard when you move to these more luxurious trim option packages.
Which of course means added value from Ford's point of view which translates into higher prices both new and used.
