XL

The XL is going to be your base option for the Ford F-250 Super Duty. This trim option will offer you plenty of capability and all the things you will need for basic performance, but it will not have as many of the fancy features. However, this does make it a great option for a basic work truck.

With the F-250 XL model, you get the 6.2-liter V8 engine standard. You also get some features to help with vehicle performance like a rearview camera, dynamic hitch assist, halogen headlamps, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.
