Entry-Level Excellence: XL, STX, and XLT Trims

Luxury Meets Capability: LARIAT, King Ranch, and Platinum

Standard BlueCruise technology and Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go make highway driving more relaxing. Drivers from Valparaiso appreciate the LARIAT combination of refined interior appointments and truck toughness.
The King Ranch trim pays homage to Texas heritage with distinctive multi-contour leather bucket seats, genuine wood interior accents, and chrome-like PVD wheels.
