Used Ford F150 XL for Sale

Big projects call for big trucks, and the full-size Ford F150 is up to tackling even your most ambitious jobs. And when rugged utility takes priority, the Ford F150's XL trim may be just what you're looking for. While the XL may be this truck's base trim, it's anything but bare-bones—offering capable engine configurations that vary by model year and available four-wheel drive when sold new.

On the F150's 12th generation (2009-2014), the XL trim comes standard with a 4.6L V8 engine through the 2010 model year. Beginning in 2011, a 3.7L V6 at 302 hp became the standard engine on this trim. When the 13th-generation F150 made its debut in 2015, a revised 3.5L V6 engine equipped the XL trim, though a number of upgraded engines were optional when this truck was sold new. 

By 2018, the F150 XL trim was equipped with a punchy 3.3L V6 at 290 hp that's paired to a six-speed automatic transmission—and three turbocharged engine upgrades were also available when this truck was first sold.

No matter which model year XL trim you're looking at, you'll find a wide range of cab sizes and bed lengths as you shop used options; specifically, every 12th and 13th-generation F150 XL was available in regular, extended, and crew cab configurations when sold new, as well as three different bed lengths.

If you need a truck that's as rugged and brawny as it is practical, don't let a used Ford F150 XL pass you by.
