For those who plan to use their truck extensively, sticking to the XL or XLT side of the family may be the way to go. These trims offer a good balance of features and price without breaking the bank. If you want to go off-road but don't want to buy a Raptor, the Tremor is an excellent option. It's King Ranch and above for those who want a premium truck with luxurious features.
