What is the order of Ford truck trim packages?
Standard trim ladder for Ford F-Series trucks
Ford organizes its trucks with a progression that delivers more features and luxury as you move up each rung. The core ladder is designed to accommodate different cab configurations, bed lengths, and drivetrains while maintaining a consistent naming sequence across most recent model years.
Below is the typical order from base to top for mainstream Ford F-Series trucks.
- XL
- XLT
- Lariat
- King Ranch
- Platinum
- Limited
Concluding note: This ladder represents the standard path for most conventional F-Series trucks, though some years and models may have slightly different naming or additional trims.
Off-road and performance variants
In addition to the standard ladder, Ford offers high‑performance and off‑road flavors that are either separate trims or packages. These variants are popular for customers seeking specialized capability or styling beyond the core ladder.
- Raptor — a high‑performance off‑road variant, typically positioned as the top‑end off‑road choice and offered on the F-Series family (not always on all configurations); known for upgraded suspension, powertrain, and rugged styling.
- Tremor — an off‑road package that can sit alongside the traditional trims on certain model years and configurations; emphasizes enhanced suspension, tires, and terrain capability. Availability varies by year and model.
Note: Availability of Raptor and Tremor depends on model year and region. Always check Ford’s official configuration tools for current offerings and exact position in the lineup.
Notes on model-year and regional variations
Ford’s trim lineup shifts with each model year and across the F-Series family. While XL through Limited form the backbone for most F-150 and Super Duty configurations, the existence and placement of Tremor and Raptor can change by year. Some markets may see these variants marketed as separate trims, while others list them as packages or as part of a specific trim tier.
Summary
For most Ford trucks, the standard progression runs XL → XLT → Lariat → King Ranch → Platinum → Limited, forming the core ladder from base to luxury. Off-road and performance options—Raptor and Tremor—exist alongside the ladder as distinct variants, with availability varying by model year and by whether you’re looking at the light-duty F-150 or heavier-duty Super Duty models. Always confirm the current lineup on Ford’s official site or with a dealer when configuring a truck.
