Best Ford F-150 Trim Levels for Off-Road Performance

Like many competitors in the half-ton pickup truck class, the 2024 Ford F-150 puts an emphasis on capability. That capability extends beyond best-in-class towing and payload numbers for the Ford F-150 with select trim levels that put an emphasis on off-road performance. The Ford F-150 is available in eight standard grades — XL, STX, XLT, Tremor, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, and Raptor — that each build on a world-class platform, but not all are built for the trail. That honor belongs to the Ford F-150 Tremor, the vaunted Ford F-150 Raptor, and the high-performance Ford F-150 Raptor R. The off-road performance of the Ford F-150 STX trim gets an upgrade with the addition of the available FX4 Equipment Package.
