ThatsMyDawg Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 What does the "XLT" stand for within the Transit Connect model? I have seen posts that people say they did not have the XLT. Trying to understand the differences with and without XLT. Thanks.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty150 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Those are just trim levels. Different trim levels come with different options. All cars have trim levels. It's not like clothing, where you're getting an "extra large tall". Usually, you can look at the sales brochures which outline the extra bells and whistles. Leather seats. Chrome wheels. Different tires. Upgraded stereo. Fog lights. Floor mats. Different engine and transmission packages. Tow package. Things like that.

lowspeedpursuit Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 To add on, I've read originally XLT was an initialism for "eXtra Luxurious Truck". That's kind of been lost over the years; now it's generally one step above base, and other higher trim levels have been added, making them the actual "luxury" options. The alternative to XLT is XL which, in this context, is just what Ford calls the base trim level. It doesn't stand for anything. One of the most common and easy-to-spot differences between XL/XLT, which should apply to 1st-gen TCs, is plain black vs body color-matched bumpers.
