i might sound like a total dumb*** but whats the difference between the xl and xlt? ive owned both an xl which was a 94 ext cab with a 4.0 auto and no bedliner or chrome bumpers also grey interior. my xlt a 94 reg cab 2.3 5 speed no tach chrome bumpers and a bed liner and blue interior.

 

no idea. i always see people on here mentioning that xlt's are only 2wd and from what everyone says, they sound pretty basic... my 05 xlt is loaded. only things i do not have is tilt and cruise... i have 4x4 and power everything

 

xlts are not only 2wd i have a 98 4x4 3.0

 

i figured an xlt would be a higher model then xl but my xl seemed to have more options like tilt steering wheel and cruise control but my xlt doesnt

 

ya thats what im saying. i have seen lots of xlts and they all have very different options

 

XL is the base autozone delivery trucks all 4x2
XLT The 4x4 platform and 4x2 3.slow and 4.go

 

Over the years the models have changed obviously, but for the most part the XL is the base trim (most inexpensive) and the XLT is the upgraded trim. The XLT's come with the harnesses to be able to add on all the options, while the XL's have harnesses that only have the basic options. So really the XLT has the option to add all the options/upgrades if that makes any sense. Then there is your FX4, Sport, Level 2... "packages".

 

my xlt is a 2wd and a 2.3 5 speed

Not all xl's are 2wd. I had a 99 4wd xl

 

isnt the sport just an appearance package plus the extra options you can get in the xlt?

 

My XLT is two wheel drive, 2.3 4 banger, auto, carpeting, nice interior trim, noise insulation, AM-FM CD player, chrome bumper, aluminum wheels and nice white letter tires.......no cruise, no tilt, no power windows or locks....just they way I want it. Overall it's a nice and comfortable package. My friend has a plain Jane model...and it's well,.... a plain Jane truck, to describe it, it's a basic work truck.

 

my 03 xlt is loaded...the only option i dont have is an automatic transmission

my grandpas 98 xlt is bare bones...only has AC and a cd player

 

My 02 XLT is loaded. 4x4 4.0 and automatic transmission. I also have tilt steering and cruise control.

 

im statrin to think xlt and xl are just 2 or 3 plastic letters your paying for that mean nothing

 

X2, all depends on how much you want to pay for those letters.

I had alway thought that the XLT was the top of the line, then FORD, in its infinite wisdom, came out with specials models; I guess they weren’t making enough.

 

here ya go. Everything you need to know

My 00 XLT Ranger is loaded 4.0L, Auto, 4X4. The only things it doesn't have are power and leather seats.

 

my 03 xlt is exactly the opposite. I have tilt and cruise, but power-nothing.
