The 2016 Ford F-150 XLT vs Lariat. What’s Your Choice?

Serving Stone Mountain, Lawrenceville, Tucker, GA

Ford represents the epitome of American automobile manufacturing. Ford pickup trucks are powerful and practical vehicles that have served consumers for many years. The XLT 150 and the LARIAT are two models of the Ford XLT pickup trucks. If you’re looking for a pickup truck that can handle intense weather conditions and carry heavy cargo loads, consider looking into the purchase of the Ford F-150 XLT or the Ford Lariat.

Across all models of the F-150, Ford has looked to build a truck with a strong frame that is significantly lighter than past models. The military-grade, aluminum body features strength that is similar to that of products used in aerospace equipment and commercial transportation.

Performance

The 3.5L EcoBoost engine offers powerful results for drivers. Direct injection technology is used to squeeze out maximum performance from every last bit of fuel. Compared to the 2014 model, the 3.5L EcoBoost has six percent higher city and eleven percent higher combined EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings. For both vehicles, one can choose to add on electronic-locking rear differentials. There are some differences between the models, which can be taken into account prior to finalizing a purchase. It is notable that the differences are reflected in the base prices for both vehicles as well.

Two-speed automatic four-wheel drive is available for the Lariat. It also has a neutral towing capability. The 3.5 L Ti-VCT V6 is a standard feature for the XLT-150, but it’s not available for the Lariat. SelectShift automatic transmission with Progressive Range Select is a standard feature for the Lariat.
