XL, XLT, etc are the trim packages. XL is the basic package, XLT is a nicer package (such as cloth seats and floors, etc)
Regular Cab - Seats 2 or 3 depending on configuration Super Cab - Seats 5 or 6 depending on configuration - super cab has four doors - two suicide doors behind the main doors. Crew Cab - four full size doors |

They are all f-150s. The crewcab has 4 regular doors and a short (5') bed, the super has 4 doors too, but the backs ones open backward and are small. The trim levels are what make it xl,xlt,etc. Good trucks btw.

XL = base model. cloth interior and very "bland"
STX = used to be 2wd only, I'm not sure now. consider it the "sport" package XLT = XL with more options. plenty of room for upgrades FX4 = off road package. upgraded suspension with off-road goodies (tires) and a nice interior to boot Lariat = top of the line. the most creature comforts King Ranch, Harley Davidson, etc. = so called "special runs" If I were choosing I would pick the FX4 or the Harley. YMMV. |

The above have it nailed. Just trim packages with different levels and kinds of equipment. A basic nice truck with power everything is an XLT.

I've got the '04 Lariat Supercrew with the 5.4, love it.
Lariat is the top of the line without going into the specialty trucks like the "Harley Davidson" or "Lightning" models... Whatever you do make sure you drive the 4.6 then try the 5.4...it is a huge difference in power and it gets the same mileage, the 4.6 is 2 valves per cylinder and the 5.4 is 3 valves per cylinder. |

XL, STX, XLT, FX4, etc are different option packages. XL being the lowest. It probably won't have carpeting and you'll get a cheap, vinyl bench. STX has an appearance pacakge on it. FX4 is a package for their 4x4 trucks. Lariat is the highest package. You'll end up with the fancy interior and leather, etc. Best bet is to go to the lot and look at the different trucks.
Super Cab is an extended cab truck. Crew Cab has the four doors |

The Lariat is basically an XLT with leather electric seats. Otherwise, the options are the same.
Mine is a '99 XLT Super Cab. |

Whatever truck you decide on, make sure you get a 4x4, it's not a truck unless it's 4-wheel drive.

That is essentially correct, although for the new bodystyle in '04 the F150 has a slightly different looking dash between the XLT and the Lariat, and both have better dash arrangements than the XL. Good trucks. |

These were the REAL Ford F-150s back in the mid to late 70s, I had one 4x4 just like this with 400M and it was one tough SOB.

I have an 04 F-150 XLT Crew, 4.6, tow package. I love my truck. Gas Mileage is between 16-17.5 gpm. I didn't get 4x4 because it's a reason to have to go into work when it is snowing. I also had an unexpected surprise last week. I got a package in the mail addessed to me, but I was a little dumbfounded since I hadn't ordered anything lately and I don't know anyone in MO. Well I opened the box and it was a Craftsmen 4 piece 19.2 volt cordless tool set. A Drill, circular saw, work light and reciprocating saw. There was a card enclosed that in short read, thank you for buying a new Ford truck and to show our appreciation here is a gift. I'm not sure if the deal is still on. I didn't know that I qualified because I thought I had purchased my truck before the offer, but I geuss they grandfathered me.

Here is my 2004 FX4 SuperCrew. This is by far the best truck that I have ever owned. The only upgrade that I did not get was the 18" wheels (more aftermarket tire choices with the 17's) and the Audiophile sound system. Even with the crappy tires that came on my truck, It has pulled me through some pretty nasty situations.

It's a great site. I've got a 98 and it just failed the yearly inspection but I searched the fault code I was given and lo and behold, 1 $52 sensor later and I'm good to go. The shop was wanting $80 for the part and $100 for labor. Took all of 20 minutes. |

 A "real man" would never buy a "toyota tacoma" and then admit it in public. |

I have an 04 F150 Scab Lariat.
I'm one of the unlucky ones with the vibration in the steering wheel and drive line. Rather than turn this into a long thread about who has the vibe and who doesn't, I'll leave that to f150online. Other than that, great truck. My second one. I had an 02 F150 Scab Lariat before this one. |

Going on 80K miles and zero problems. I just changed the battery last month. The original Motorcraft battery lasted about five years. I run Amsoil oil and filter, K&N oil impregnated air filter, purrs like a kitten.
