2022 Ford F-250 Trim Levels
We here at Friendly Ford strive to provide truck shoppers in Geneva, Canandaigua, and Rochester, NY, with as much information as they need in order to choose the pickup that’ll get the job done. Not only does the Ford F-250 have what it takes to do just that, it offers a wide array of trim levels to help you customize your specific driving experience according to your preferences.
We’ve compiled a review of all six Ford F-250 trim levels for your consideration. Take a look at the following highlights to find the right one for you.
Ford F-250 XL
The Ford F-250 XL effectively sets the stage when it comes to convenience. It comes standard with a wide variety of useful features that include Trailer Sway Control and 12V power points to plug in any mobile devices you and your passengers need to bring along for the ride.
There’s also the Hill Start Assist that helps out when you’re ready to get going after you’ve been parked on the upward side of a hill. This feature will hold the brakes down long enough for you to move your foot from the brake pedal to the gas pedal. This action prevents you from unintentionally rolling the wrong way down the hill.
Even though the XL is the base trim, it offers the kind of power that other trucks like it can’t match. Under the hood, you’ll find a 6.2L V8 gas engine that provides 385 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. This allows for, at a minimum, 12,600 pounds of towing capacity, when properly equipped.
Ford F-250 XLT
The convenience continues as we move along to the Ford F-250 XLT trim. This model is available with such useful items as the available Voice-Activated Touchscreen Navigation System. This feature makes it easier for you to get to your destination without being distracted by having to look down at the screen.
The available Stowable Loading Ramps have the potential to come in handy when you need to load an ATV or other wheeled vehicle into the truck bed.
The XLT also ups the ante in terms of safety, as it offers a wide range of technologies that are designed to keep you alert and protected. The available BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Trailer Coverage will let you know if someone is in your blind spot and has coverage for trailers up to 33 feet long.
When you combine this with the available Lane-Keeping Alert, the XLT can gently shift you back into your lane without any quick motions, which also prevents your trailer from jackknifing. Finally, the available Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking can automatically apply the brakes in the event you’re unable to react quickly enough.
Ford F-250 Lariat
The Ford F-250 Lariat has what it takes to stand out in the style department. The leather-trimmed front seats, the body-color door handles, and the chrome tailgate handle are a few touches that are bound to make an impression.
As you climb up the trim ladder, you’ll continue to see more enhanced features, from safety to infotainment and everything in between. Speaking of the latter, the Lariat is ready to help you blare your music unapologetically, with an available 10-speaker sound system by Bang & Olufsen®, which also comes with a subwoofer to amplify the bass.
Need a little assistance getting in or out of the truck bed? An optional integrated tailgate step will give you that extra boost.
Ford F-250 King Ranch
The King Ranch trim comes with such comfortable touches as heated and ventilated front seats that will keep you and your front passenger comfortable no matter what the weather is doing outside. As the driver, you’ll be happy to know that this trim level also provides you with a heated steering wheel to ensure that your hands are nice and cozy as well.
Not only will you be able to drive in extreme comfort thanks to the seats and the steering wheel, you’ll also be treated to a beautiful interior, with unique panels and woodgrain appliqués. Oh, and did you know the seats are Kingsville Antique Affect leather?
In this trim, you can choose your powertrain.
You’ll have the standard 6.2L V8 engine that all the F-250 trims before the King Ranch come with. Even better, though, you can outfit this trim with the available 6.7L Power Stroke® V8 engine that will give you a best-in-class 475 horsepower and 1,050 lb-ft of torque. There’s also the available 7.3L V8 engine that produces 430 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque.
Ford F-250 Platinum
This theme of comfort continues with the F-250 Platinum. Highlights in this area include the heated front and rear seats and multicontour front bucket seats. These features are highlighted by the beautiful Dark Marsala interior. The Platinum trim also allows you to get inside the cabin and on the road easily via the Intelligent Access with push-button start.
Driving in heavy fog is no issue in the Platinum trim, thanks to the LED fog lamps that can cut through the thickest fog and give you a clear view of the road ahead. The Memory PowerScope® Trailer Tow Mirrors not only give you a clear view of your trailer and other surroundings—the memory function allow the mirrors to adjust to your preferred settings automatically.
Ford F-250 Limited
The Adaptive Cruise Control that you’ll find in the Ford F-250 Limited trim is a big advantage. It maintains a safe distance between you and the vehicle directly in front of you by adjusting your speed according to the flow of traffic. The Rain-Sensing Windshield Wipers also make a difference by providing you with a clear line of sight whenever there’s adverse weather.
As is the case with many other Ford F-250 trims, the SYNC® 4 technology will provide you with over-the-air software updates, so you’ll know about all of the technological improvements your vehicle experiences right away. The Limited also has a built-in navigation system, so you won’t have to rely on your phone or any other external navigation system to get you around.
