Find the Right Ford F-150 Trim for Your Needs At Thorncrest Ford!

The Ford F 150 has been trusted across Canada for years. People in Etobicoke love how it handles both city life and weekend trips. It feels strong, steady and ready for work. The truck comes with many trims, and each trim feels a little different. You can choose between several engines, including EcoBoost engines, a V8 engine and even a hybrid engine. These engines give the F 150 the power to pull trailers, move heavy loads and handle long drives in Ontario weather. Inside the truck you get spacious seating for up to six people depending on the cab. The bed also gives you plenty of room for tools, hockey gear, camping items or anything you need to bring along. Let me walk you through each trim so you can see which one feels right for your life around Etobicoke.

F-150 XL

The XL trim typically comes with the 2.7-litre EcoBoost V6 engine. This engine produces about 325 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. That makes the XL a reliable and balanced choice for daily work and light hauling. Fuel economy stays reasonable for a full-size truck — the 2.7-litre EcoBoost delivers around 19 mpg city and 25 mpg highway with 2-wheel drive. Inside, expect basic cloth seating and a functional cabin that does what matters. The XL feels solid and no-frills. If you only need a truck for work, snow clearing, or carrying tools and materials, the XL is often enough. It suits someone who wants a tough, no-nonsense truck without extra cost.

F-150 STX

The STX often uses the same 2.7-litre EcoBoost V6 base engine as the XL.With 325 horsepower and 400 lb-ft torque it delivers the same core strength and fuel efficiency. What changes is the look and feel. STX tends to bring a more modern look, modest upgrades over XL cabin trim and often nicer wheels or appearance touches. For someone who needs a capable work/truck but wants a slightly more presentable pickup for everyday driving around town, the STX fits well. It is best for those who want more than bare bones but still need practicality.

F-150 XLT

For the XLT trim, the base engine remains the 2.7-litre EcoBoost V6 when chosen as standard. This keeps its power at 325 hp and 400 lb-ft torque, and retains the fuel efficiency of the 2.7-litre – good for commuting, errands or light towing. Inside, XLT tends to give more convenience and comfort than XL or STX: a more refined interior, better materials if you opt for upgrades. It feels like a smart balance between work-ready and daily comfort. If you drive often around city and suburbs but also need occasional towing or hauling, XLT gives a good mix of value and comfort.

F-150 Lariat

The Lariat moves up the ladder. Its common base engine is the 5.0-litre Ti-VCT V8. This V8 brings roughly 400 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque.That extra power helps if you tow trailers or carry heavier loads. The ride becomes more robust and solid. The cabin tends to feel more refined, with nicer materials and more comfort features compared with lower trims. For drivers who want dependable power, especially for towing or hauling across Ontario winters or summer trips, Lariat is a strong pick. It balances strength and comfort.

F-150 Tremor

Tremor also typically uses the 5.0-litre Ti-VCT V8 as base. With 400 horsepower and 410 lb-ft torque, it delivers legacy V8 power. What sets Tremor apart is its rugged setup — it feels ready for rough roads, work-site trips, or outdoor adventures beyond city streets. For those who sometimes leave paved roads or need off-road readiness plus hauling ability, Tremor works well. It suits someone who needs a tough truck for work or for going out of town for recreation.

F-150 King Ranch

The King Ranch trim often uses the 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 as a base powerplant when selected. This engine gives about 400 horsepower and a stronger torque rating (when properly equipped) than the smaller V6 base engines. King Ranch also brings more premium touches inside — higher-end materials and comfort for daily driving or long trips. If you want your truck to feel upscale while still being capable, King Ranch is a fine choice. It works for someone who wants utility with a touch of style and comfort.

F-150 Platinum

The Platinum trim tends to share the 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 base when configured that way. That gives you robust power and a balance of performance and comfort. Inside, Platinum often brings more luxury-style touches: refined trim, comfort features and a more polished ride feel. For those who drive often around city or highway and want a truck that feels more refined without losing strength, Platinum fits nicely. It suits someone who wants their pickup to double as a comfortable daily driver and a capable workhorse.

F-150 Raptor

The Raptor stands apart in the F-150 family. Its base high-output 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 engine produces significantly more power than basic V6 or V8 base engines — giving you strong performance suited for off-road or heavy-duty use. Raptor is built for adventure: rough terrain, gravel roads, snow and exploration beyond smooth pavement. For someone who loves outdoors, trailers, camping trips or rugged work in changing Ontario weather and terrain, Raptor is the top pick. It is most suited for adventurous drivers or heavy-duty users.
