2027 Ford F-150 XL: Dacono Buyers Guide

Ford F-150 XL full-size pickup at Interstate Ford in Dacono, CO

Quick Answer: 2027 Ford F-150 XL

The XL is the base F-150 and starts at $40,155 MSRP, before the $2,795 destination charge. For 2027 it comes standard with the new 3.0L twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 (325 hp, 400 lb-ft, up to 8,400 lbs of towing and 1,755 lbs of payload), a 12-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen, 17-inch steel wheels and a Class IV hitch. The 3.5L EcoBoost and 5.0L V8 are available, and the XL is the only F-150 sold as a Regular Cab with a 6.5-foot or 8-foot bed.

A work truck that is not stripped bare

People hear "base trim" and picture rubber floors and a radio dial. The XL does keep the black vinyl floor covering and cloth 40/20/40 front seat, and the steering wheel is a plain black urethane one, but the dash is current. A 12-inch center display runs SYNC 4 with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, over-the-air updates and built-in Alexa. Pre-Collision Assist with automatic emergency braking, a lane-keeping system, forward collision warning and reverse sensing are all standard, and so are LED reflector headlamps, heated and power-adjustable mirrors, a capless fuel filler and a tailgate with a power lock.

That is a lot of truck for the first rung of the ladder. The 17-inch steel wheels are the part that gives it away, along with the black grille and bumpers, and anyone who wants painted aluminum wheels can add them as an option. The dealer-installed list is long if you plan to work the truck hard: drop-in or spray-in bedliners, tonneau covers, bed dividers and mats, tool kits and a Class IV hitch that is already on the truck.

Cabs, beds and fuel tanks

XL is the widest-ranging F-150 when it comes to body styles. You can order a Regular Cab with a 6.5-foot or an 8-foot bed, a SuperCab with a 6.5-foot bed, or a SuperCrew with a 5.5-foot or 6.5-foot bed. Regular Cabs seat three and the SuperCab and SuperCrew seat up to six. Ford lists a base curb weight of 4,414 lbs for the 8-foot Regular Cab 4x2 with the 3.0L, which is part of why that configuration is such a common pick for contractors and municipal fleets. A 36-gallon fuel tank is available on most configurations if your routes run long between stations, and FX4 off-road and Tow/Haul packages are on the options list too.

Picking an engine

The 3.0L is the sensible default. It makes the same 325 hp and 400 lb-ft as the 2.7L it replaces, but Ford tuned it to deliver that torque earlier, so a loaded bed or a trailer feels less strained when you pull away from a light on Highway 52 or an on-ramp to I-25. Step up to the 3.5L EcoBoost (400 hp, 500 lb-ft) if you tow regularly, because it unlocks the 13,500-lb maximum tow rating and 2,430 lbs of payload that Ford quotes for the lineup. The 5.0L V8 (400 hp, 410 lb-ft, up to 12,800 lbs of towing) is available for drivers who want the traditional sound. Ford’s retail lineup lists the PowerBoost hybrid starting at the STX.

Who buys an XL around Dacono

Ranch and farm owners across Weld County, plumbing and electrical crews working the Erie and Firestone subdivisions, and city and county fleets are the buyers who tend to land here. Interstate Ford keeps a separate commercial inventory page for businesses. JP C., who needed a truck to keep a business running, wrote: "He makes things easy. He’s straightforward professional and understood my urgency to get a truck so I can operate my business." Another buyer, Jason C., said: "It was a no-hassle visit and I was in and out with the truck I wanted in less than 90 minutes!"

The case for starting simple

The XL leaves out the leather, the sunroof and the wheels that catch the eye, and it still gets the new V6, the big screen and the same frame and safety equipment as the trims above it. If the truck is going to earn its keep in a bed full of lumber, that is a fair trade.
