Don Keoni Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 My roommate just bought a used 2017 F150 XLT Sport 5.0 V8. I’m a bit confused, was this actually a trim? He got a great deal during this COVID time and he will eventually use it to tow a trailer for camping. He dislikes the colored seats (red trim) and lack of push button start. We took a quick ride yesterday, we live in Seattle, but the ride was excellent. Are there specialized shocks in the build? Second Ford in the house as we also have a Escape Titanium Ecoboost.

akirby Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Sport was just a trim package. It added bucket seats, console shifter, body color grille and bumpers and different wheels. No suspension or performance changes. I think it also has the special edition stripe and red accents. You don’t get memory seats or auto hvac or leather or push button start on the 2017-2018 unless you get the Lariat. It should be a great vehicle. I have a 2018 Supercab XLT sport in magnetic grey.

shawn_g Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Yeah what akirby said. Looks like the "Special Edition" package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
probowler Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) Is it true they're getting rid of the sport trims/packages? I heard on 6g that edge and explorer sport are gone now, and sport will only refer to baby vehicles.

Ford seriously classified Edge sport as a separate model from the edge? Ditto for Explorer. That's really weird of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really weird of them. Model was the wrong word. Trim level would be more appropriate. Explorer Sport was a different trim level than Explorer XLT. So you either bought a XLT or a Sport. As opposed to F150 where Sport was just an option that you could add to a F150 XLT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoonerLS Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Ford plays with trim levels and packages all the time. In the 12th Gen F-150, STX was a trim level (called an "Equipment Group" in the brochure) between XL and XLT; in the newer trucks, it became a package you could add to an XL.

Of course, that was more like harmonizing the packages--you could add the Off Road package to another trim level, and you'd basically get the FX4 package except for the FX4 badging (and maybe the FX4's headlights and taillights).
