The Ford F-150 is one of the most handsome full-size pickups on the road today. Over the years, Ford has offered attractive appearance packages that can take the exterior design to a whole new level. The STX started out as an add-on package and was later elevated. The original meaning of "STX" was a "sport truck" – which suggested a sporty appearance, ant it was an upgrade on the XL trim level. It also had reference to options like special wheels, bumpers, and interior features.
The original reason for the STX package was to give buyers a more premium and stylish appearance. But Ford has simplified things by making the STX a separate trim level, one step up from the XL trim. Here's more detail about the STX version of the new Ford F-150 that's available now at Bell Ford in Adrian, MI.
