The 2025 Ford F-150 XLT arrives in Agate Black Metallic, ready to tackle the diverse demands of life in DuPage County. Whether you are navigating the quiet residential streets of Winfield, IL or heading out to the open spaces of the surrounding countryside, this truck provides the presence and power required for every task. Imagine starting your Saturday morning by loading up the crew for a project or preparing for a weekend retreat; the F-150 is designed to be the backbone of your daily routine, offering a perfect blend of utility and modern refinement that fits naturally into the local landscape.

Performance & Capability

Under the hood of this Agate Black Metallic Crew Cab lies the heart of a true performer: the EcoBoost 3.5L V-6 engine. This twin-turbocharged powerplant delivers a robust 400HP, providing the confidence needed for merging onto North Avenue or hauling equipment through the rolling terrain of Bloomingdale Township, IL. The engine features an aluminum block and DOHC design with Ti-VCT variable valve control, ensuring efficient power delivery across the rev range.

Paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission featuring SelectShift sequential shift control and an overdrive gear, the F-150 optimizes gear ratios for both low-end grunt and highway efficiency. The Four Wheel Drive system is a part-time 4WD setup with an electronic transfer case shift, allowing you to adapt to changing road conditions instantly. Drivers can further customize their experience using the selectable driver drivetrain modes, including a specific Tow/Haul mode. The chassis is supported by an independent double-wishbone front suspension and a rigid axle leaf spring rear suspension, featuring heavy-duty gas-pressurized shock absorbers to maintain composure whether the bed is empty or fully loaded. With a 3.31 Axle Ratio and a 7,100 lbs GVWR Payload Package, this truck is built to handle the heavy lifting of suburban and rural life alike.

Technology & Connectivity

Inside the cabin, the 2025 Ford F-150 XLT serves as a high-tech command center. The focal point is the 12 inch primary display touchscreen, which integrates seamlessly with SYNC 4 AppLink, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto for wireless smart device mirroring. This allows you to access your favorite apps and media without the clutter of cables. Complementing the center stack is a 12.00-inch digital/analog instrumentation display, providing a full gauge cluster screen that keeps vital vehicle information directly in your line of sight.

Staying connected is effortless thanks to the FordPass Connect 5G mobile hotspot, providing internet access for your passengers. The vehicle features 6 USB ports and Bluetooth wireless audio streaming, ensuring everyones devices stay charged and the music never stops. Managing your environment is safer and easier with SYNC 4 with Enhanced Voice Recognition, allowing for voice-activated audio and climate controls. Whether you are coordinating a meetup or navigating to a new destination, the steering wheel mounted audio controls and hands-free connectivity keep your focus where it belongs—on the road ahead.

Comfort & Interior

The interior is trimmed in a sophisticated Black w/Medium Dark Slate color scheme, featuring durable Cloth front seat upholstery designed to withstand the rigors of a busy lifestyle. The 40-20-40 split-bench front seat offers a seating capacity for up to six people, making it an ideal choice for larger families or work crews. For the driver, manual driver seat lumbar support and 4-way directional controls ensure comfort during long commutes through Glendale Heights, IL.

Convenience is woven into every detail, from the dual-zone front climate control with voice activation to the remote start capability via a smart device. The rear of the cabin is equally functional, featuring 60-40 folding rear seats with a fold-up cushion and a rear under seat tray for secure storage. Small touches like the leatherette steering wheel, chrome interior accents, and fade interior courtesy lights elevate the daily driving experience. Practical storage solutions abound, including an overhead console, seatback storage pockets, and a locking front under seat tray, ensuring that everything from tools to personal items has a dedicated place.

Safety & Driver Assistance

Fords commitment to protection is evident in the comprehensive suite of safety technologies included in this XLT. The Ford Co-Pilot360 suite provides peace of mind with features like BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) and Cross-Traffic Alert, which are essential when navigating busy parking lots or changing lanes on the highway. The Forward Collision Mitigation system, featuring PCA with AEB and Intersection Assist, helps monitor the path ahead, while Lane Keeping Assist helps prevent unintended drifting.

Parking and low-speed maneuvers are simplified by the Back-Up Camera and the Reverse Sensing System rear parking sensors. In the event of an unavoidable situation, the Post-Collision Braking system helps reduce the risk of secondary impacts. The vehicle is equipped with a total of 6 airbags, including the Safety Canopy System for overhead protection. Additional driver-assist features like the driver attention monitor and automatic brake hold further enhance safety during daily travels, ensuring that you and your passengers are well-protected throughout every journey.

Exterior & Design

The exterior of the F-150 XLT is both functional and striking, finished in Agate Black Metallic with chrome front and rear bumpers. It sits proudly on 18-inch painted aluminum wheels wrapped in P275/65SR18 all-terrain tires, providing a rugged stance that is at home in any environment. The front end is defined by a black grille with chrome accents and advanced LED low and high beam headlights, complemented by LED front fog lights and cornering lights for superior visibility.

The pickup box is designed for maximum utility, featuring pickup bed-rail protectors, an easy lift tailgate with power locking, and an LED cab-mounted cargo light. Functional exterior hardware includes two front tow hooks, a Class IV trailer hitch, and a trailer wiring harness, making it ready for recreation or work right off the lot.
