What Is The XTR Package on Ford F150? [Explain and Review]

Ford truck aficionados would know that the F150 XTR has been in production for some years now. Do you know what this package offers?

I have provided a detailed description of the Ford F150 XTR Package below. This guide will cover the package’s basics, availability, and merits in separate subheadings. What’s more, this is followed by reviews by the model year starting from 2015 and ending in 2021.

The F150 XTR is a Canadian regional vehicle made by Ford that features chrome appearance packages. It bears similarities to the F150 XLT model made in the US. You will get more information on this as you read further. Choosing whether or not to get the product should be an effortless decision-making process by the time you finish going through all the reviews.

What Does The Ford F150 XTR Bring To The Table?

You are about to find out what makes the F150 XTR special. Read the brief description and learn about its availability before going deeper into what specs it has to offer.

What Is The F150 XTR Package?

First of all, we should discuss the Ford F150 XLT package before elaborating on the XTR. The XLT is an abbreviation of the name “extra-luxurious truck.” But some Ford truck owners and enthusiasts have mistaken its meaning for “extra-long truck.” Keep in mind that it doesn’t matter whether your truck has a long or short bed—it is easy to get the XLT package on it. You will see the conditions for adopting the XTR later in this section.

The XLT replaces the features of the standard appearance package and the older XL trim package. It has two additional appearance packages, namely: XLT Sport appearance and XLT chrome. Ford launched the XTR as a chrome package for the XLT, which happened at the same time the Lariat Chrome package was introduced.

As stated earlier, the XTR is a Canadian variant of the XLT. Its chrome components give your truck an improved look in terms of aesthetics. It is the best trim level for those who care much about affordability and appearance when it comes to F150 trucks. There are other parts provided, apart from the decal on the box’s side.

How Much Does The F150 XTR Cost?

According to Ford Canada, the starting price for the 2022 F150 with an XLT package is $38,685. Meanwhile, the F150 with an XTR package starts at $43,199. Not just that, you have two other options. First, if you want an F150 truck with XTR and a mid-XLT combo package, you have to pay around $44,199. In case you go for an XTR and XLT luxury combo package, the cost will be about $44,999.

What Features Does F150 XTR Offer?

The F150 XTR has the standard 302A package with specs like a sliding rear window and heated seats. This is optional if you go for the 301A package or the base XLT. The decal may have the words “XTR” and either “4×4” or “4×2”. Other specs that come with this product are included to make it appear shiny with chrome accents. See a list of them below:

• Chrome door and tailgate handles
• Chrome two-bar style grille
• 6″ chrome running boards
• Single tip Chrome exhaust
• Chrome front tow hooks
• 18″ chrome-like PVD wheels

The above components are paired with the following tires:

• 275/65R18 OWL A/S A/T (4×2)
• 265/60R18 BSW A/S (4×2)
• 275/65R18 OWL A/S A/T (4×4)

You can go for LT275/65R18C OWL A/T tires or a combination of the XTR Package and 20″ Chrome-like PVD wheels that come with any of the following:

• 275/55R20 A/T OWL (4×4)
• 275/55R20 BSW A/S (4×2)
• or 275/55R20 BSW A/T (4×4)

Hopefully, the above isn’t a lot to take in. But there is more. The XTR’s options include the components below.

Fog lights	Molded woodgrain on door switch plates	Color-keyed grille surround
Woodgrain bezels	Unique Ronal 17 in x 7.5 wheels in Bright Cast Aluminum	Chrome front bumper
Captains chairs	Color-Keyed Molded Running Boards	Color-keyed top cap
17″ rims (split 5-star)	Tires: P265/70R17 OWL AT (5) Goodyear with a matching spare	Medium Dark Platinum MIC lower valence
Painting grille (non-honeycomb)	3.55 Axle Ratio	Black exterior mirrors
Molded woodgrain on Centre Stack	Special nomenclature	Door handles

The XTR’s grille has one of the best appearances for the F150. Note that all the XTR models come with a 6.5-foot rear bed. We will review each of them in the next section. Now you can see the many offerings packed into the XTR. You can also see what makes it stand out from other packages. The merits are worth your money.

The XTR Package’s Availability

The XTR package is only available on the XLT trim. It is easy to add the 20″ chrome wheels on the XLT Luxury XTR Package. However, you can’t combine the F150 XTR and the HD package because of the 20″ wheels. There is a 2021 upgrade that involves swapping the running boards to a 6″ Chrome Extended Running Board. Nonetheless, this isn’t available on the XLT 300A and has to be paired with the 20″ wheels.

It is advisable to make inquiries if you want to purchase your XTR Package, so you can understand how its options can work for your truck. Speaking or chatting with a customer care representative is a good way to be sure of what you will be getting.

Do Other Models Have an XTR Package?

You can only find the XTR Package on the XLT F-150. However, a similar package is featured on the Lariat F-150. The Super Duty has an available alternative as well. The Lariat package is called the “Lariat Chrome Appearance Package.” It has several of the same features as the XTR Package (except for the decal). You will find bright belt moldings and chrome mirror caps on it.

The XLT Premium package is the most similar product to the XTR Package available for the Super Duty variant. It doesn’t come with decals, but it offers added features like the following:

• Reverse sensing system
• 8-way heated driver seat
• Fog lamps
