The 2017 Ford F-150 SuperCrew Cab XL delivers a straightforward, durable, and highly capable full-size pickup experience, emphasizing utility over luxury while still offering a comfortable and spacious cabin. Its aluminum-intensive construction helps reduce weight, contributing to strong towing and payload performance, and buyers can choose from multiple enginesincluding a base V6, a turbocharged EcoBoost V6, or a 5.0-liter V8depending on their needs. The XL trim focuses on work-ready practicality, offering features like optional running boards, a bed liner, trailer hitch receiver, and all-terrain tires, along with available tech such as a backup camera, cruise control, and smart device integration. Inside, the SuperCrew configuration provides generous headroom and legroom for both rows, seating up to six with cloth or optional vinyl seats. While the ride can feel firm when the bed is empty and aluminum body repairs may cost more than steel, the F-150 XL remains a strong performer with excellent towing capability, solid fuel economy for its class, and a wide range of configurations to suit different workloads.
