meaning of xlt

[crazyhorse]

ok, i looked & did not find. what exactly does " XLT " stand for . extra luxury trim, extra large trim [says my friend] , or something else.

[seattle67]

I believe the "XL" stands for "Extra Luxurious" trim, and the "T" on "XLT" designates "Truck". Someone else here may know if that is true or false.

[RedneckTexan]

I think that "XL" is the work truck, and the "XLT" is the nicer one

[convincor]

Hey seattle67, i'm having a hard time seeing anything "Extra Luxurious" about a XL.
I'd see the XL as, your "extra lucky" it has a seat...

[taylor351]

I could be wrong, and probably am, but.... I always thought it meant excel and excellent.

When I was 9 or 10 my dad bought a new Ranger XLT, I remember asking him this question, He told me then it meant Xtra Luxurous Truck...

[crazyhorse]

so maybe " EXTRA LOVELY TRUCK " ?

XLT has power locks and windows

XL is old school just like Big Bird

Well, that's what I always thought as a kid. I had an 83 F100 XL that came with power door locks and manual windows. That made no sense to me at all.

not true . my 72 ranger xlt no got power locks or power windows. wish it did .

acoording to all the pages i have read "xlt" is just a trim designation and has no actual meaning although i'll bet it does mean something on the inside (ford designers). it would be nice if someone did know the real answer.

I should have clarified that one. I meant the 80's and up models.

Back in the 60's Xl package on a car was a very desirable package usually including floor shift, bucket seats and full gauges. Now our lucky if it cames with full gauges and a seat that don't brake your back on long trips!
