Im looking at buying a f150 super crew the older body style. one is an fx4 and one is an xlt.


what is the difference between the two packages?

 

how old? like what years dude 04-08? or 97-03? text me man, i know a little bit about them.

 

97-03 i just text you

 

The fx4 is the offroad package, and the XLT just a regular ole F-150, nothin fancy. If you get an fx4 and a 4x4 XLT side by side, the fx4 will be taller. Just thought i'd throw that in there.

 

Shocks are different, skidplates were optional on XLT, Suspension is different as stated above (stiffer springs and leafs, little taller), some other random options that were FX4 specific, interior color maybe, grilles might be different

 

i'm guessing similar to the ranger. appearance, options, trim. things like that...

 

I am fairly sure my Ranger is a FX4 without the name since they "technically" dont offer the FX4 package anymore. My Ranger has front, mid, and rear skid plates, HD shocks, 4x4, and has a limited slip.

 

you could just have the sport package. mine has those items too and it's a xlt trim level.

Suspenion is the biggest difference, everything else is appearance

 

Iv got the XLT too. Its just a few options from being loaded. I had the choice between a lesser optioned Sport or my more optioned XLT. The Sport even costed like $700 more. It was a no brainer

 

If you read the OP again (or read it period if you skipped it) you would realize the thread is about F150s and not Rangers.

 

thanks kevin lol so anyone f150 guys want to chime in plz?????

 

Whats the difference between F-150 FX4s and Ranger FX4s then?

Ones an F150, ones a Ranger.

 

^^^^ LOL

Seriously though, a bunch. FX4, at it's base means that you get the stiffest suspension, better shocks, and skid plates. That is universal among all models that came in FX4. But depending on what vehicle you got (Ranger, Expedition, F-150, or F-250/350) the FX4 package gives you a bunch of other options as well.

 

pretty much. both have skid plates and different shocks over the XLTs. i dunno about the f-150s but rangers have different axles too. i've got a 28 spline 8.8. the FX4s have a 31 spline.

 

Hope you can afford the $90 fill ups every week lol

 

haha im hoping to have my company truck soon. but i want a full size truck with 4 doors im tired of only being able to fit 2 people in my truck

 

2 people too many eh..

 

Who in their right mind would give you (17-20 year old kid i'm assuming)a company truck?
also, If you want to fit more than two people at a time in a vehicle, get a car.

 

if you dont have anything helpful to say plz dont post in my threads

 

That doesn't make any sense. The whole purpose of a crew cab truck is to fit the whole crew in the truck like a car but it still has a bed and all the qualities of the truck.

 

Exactly. Sure is nice to take 5 guys out to the deer camp, no way a car would make it back there.

 

he's right cameron. a lot of companies have age limits on company vehicles. i worked at weed man and the age was 21 or 22. same with the bus company i'm at. i think it's 21 or 22 also for insurance. if you're under the age requirement there is a chance you won't get a company truck.

 

It makes me mad when people say "Get A Car". If I wanted a car, I woulda bought a car, but instead I got a truck because you cant do anything with a car!!!
