2026 Ford Ranger family and Off-Road Issaquah Capabily

The 2026 Ford Ranger SuperCrew 5' Box is the right truck for active families and professionals who want genuine capability without full-size bulk. Starting at $33,550 for the XL SuperCrew 5' Box and reaching $47,455 for the Lariat 4x4 SuperCrew 5' Box, every configuration shares the same 270 hp, 310 lb-ft torque, 10-speed SelectShift® automatic, and 7,500 lbs towing capacity. The decisive split across trims is drivetrain: 4x4 models add all-wheel drive for wet roads and forest trails; RWD models return up to 25 mpg highway and carry up to 1,821 lbs payload.

How Much Does the 2026 Ford Ranger Cost to Own in Issaquah?

The six SuperCrew 5' Box configurations span a $13,905 price range, giving Issaquah-area buyers a clear ladder from work-truck value to near-luxury refinement. Every trim carries the same $1,895 destination charge, so the starting price begins at $35,445 for the base XL rear-wheel-drive configuration.

The XL tier represents the purest value proposition. At $33,550 (RWD) or $37,050 (4x4), it delivers the same powertrain, frame, and towing rating as the Lariat at roughly $10,000 to $14,000 less. The trade-off is a more utilitarian cabin, a 10-inch touchscreen instead of 12, and fewer standard convenience features. For buyers who plan to spend most of their time hauling gear to Cougar Mountain trailheads rather than commuting to a Bellevue office tower, the XL delivers the core capability without the premium.

The XLT tier — $36,075 RWD or $39,575 4x4 — hits a genuine sweet spot. It adds satellite radio, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, body-color bumpers, a standard 12-inch navigation screen, and a 6-speaker audio upgrade over the XL's baseline setup. The XLT Technology Package, available as an option, layers in Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with stop-and-go, a 360-Degree Camera, front parking sensors, and traffic sign recognition — features that move the XLT meaningfully closer to Lariat territory at a lower entry price.

The Lariat tier — $43,955 RWD or $47,455 4x4 — is where the Ranger becomes a genuinely premium daily driver. Leather seating surfaces, heated front seats, a 10-speaker audio system with subwoofer, a 12-inch touchscreen, dual-zone automatic climate control, and standard Intelligent Access with Push Button Start all come standard. The Lariat 4x4 also opens the door to the FX4 Off-Road Package, which adds skid plates, alternate suspension tuning, terrain management, and crawl control for buyers who want to go further off the beaten path.

For shoppers weighing a certified pre-owned route, Evergreen Ford maintains a selection of pre-owned vehicles that can bring the Ranger's capability into a tighter budget. Washington state also levies sales tax on vehicle purchases, which adds meaningfully to the total cost of ownership — factoring that into your budget planning before visiting the showroom will make the trim decision cleaner.

The practical takeaway: if all-wheel drive is a priority for navigating wet Issaquah-area roads and forested terrain, the 4x4 variants add roughly $3,500 across the lineup. If maximum payload and fuel economy matter more than off-road traction, the RWD models shave curb weight and return better efficiency ratings at every trim level.

Rugged Style That Complements Issaquah's Evergreen Landscape

The 2026 Ranger's exterior design communicates capability without theatrical excess — a proportional truck that looks at home whether parked outside a Bellevue tech campus or loaded at a trailhead. The SuperCrew body brings four full-size hinged doors and a 5-foot bed to a 210.6-inch overall length and 128.7-inch wheelbase, making it more maneuverable than a full-size truck while still carrying a commanding road presence.

The lighting architecture varies by trim in ways that matter beyond aesthetics. XL models use complex-surface LED headlights with dusk sensors and automatic high beams — functional and clean. XLT and Lariat trims step up to projector-beam LED headlamps with the same auto-dimming control. All configurations share full LED daytime running lights, LED front fog lights, and LED rear brake and tail lighting, meaning visibility is strong across the lineup in the overcast Pacific Northwest conditions that define a Washington winter.

Bumper treatment separates the tiers visually. XL models wear a painted front bumper with a black rear bumper — a deliberately workmanlike look. XLT and Lariat trims switch to body-color-toned front and rear bumpers, which integrate the truck's silhouette and make the stance look more intentional. The Chrome Accent Package available on both Lariat variants replaces those toned bumpers with chrome-finished units and adds chrome mirror caps and 18-inch chrome-like alloy wheels — a dressier interpretation that suits the Lariat's premium positioning.

The Black Appearance Package, available on XLT and Lariat trims, takes the opposite approach: body-color-toned bumpers, blacked-out mirrors, and 18-inch black alloy wheels give the truck a stealth-forward look that resonates with buyers who prefer the truck's aggressive silhouette over its chrome trim. XLT buyers can also add Black Appearance Graphics as a standalone option for additional visual contrast.

Wheel sizing follows the trim hierarchy. XL models ride on 17-inch steel wheels standard, with 17-inch alloy upgrades available through the Equipment Group 301A package or as standalone options including 17-inch Silver Painted Aluminum Wheels and 17-inch Matte Black Painted Aluminum Wheels. XLT and Lariat trims receive 18-inch alloys as standard, with 18-inch Chrome-Like Wheels available as an XLT option. The Lariat's standard all-terrain tires — 10.4-inch width with a 60-series profile — provide meaningful grip on the loose gravel and packed-dirt access roads that lead to the Issaquah Alps hiking trailheads.

Color options across the lineup include metallic finishes: Avalanche, Desert Sand, Marsh Gray, Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat, and Velocity Blue Metallic. The muted tones of Marsh Gray and Desert Sand read well against evergreen forest backdrops; Velocity Blue adds personality without being loud.

If you're considering trading in a current vehicle to offset the purchase, you can get an estimate on what your current vehicle is worth before stepping into the showroom — having that number in hand simplifies the conversation considerably.

Power and Traction for Rolling Hills and Urban Streets

Every 2026 Ranger SuperCrew 5' Box variant is powered by the same turbocharged 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder producing 270 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque, routed through a 10-speed SelectShift® automatic transmission. The drivetrain split — all-wheel drive on 4x4 models, rear-wheel drive on standard SuperCrew variants — is the most consequential spec difference across the lineup.

The 4x4 system uses Ford's Electronic-Shift-On-the-Fly (ESOF) setup — a part-time four-wheel-drive system with low and high gear ranges that the driver selects manually. This is not an always-on all-wheel-drive system; it's a traditional 4WD setup with a transfer case, meaning buyers get genuine low-range capability for serious off-road or steep-grade situations while retaining RWD efficiency on dry pavement. The FX4 Off-Road Package, available on 4x4 XL and Lariat trims, adds engine skid plate protection, alternate suspension tuning, crawl control, and terrain management with traction/stability adjustment — a meaningful upgrade for buyers who regularly use forest service roads.

The fuel economy difference between 4x4 and RWD variants is real and worth quantifying:

RWD models return 21 city / 25 hwy / 23 combined versus the 4x4's 19 city / 24 hwy / 21 combined. Over a typical 15,000-mile year, that 2-mpg combined difference translates to roughly 65 additional gallons consumed by the 4x4 variant — a real but modest cost given the capability added. For buyers commuting regularly to Bellevue or Seattle, the RWD's 23 combined MPG is a meaningful efficiency advantage on those dry-pavement highway miles.

The suspension architecture is consistent across all trims: a front double-wishbone independent setup with coil springs and stabilizer bar, and a rear solid-axle beam with leaf springs. This layout prioritizes payload and towing stability over sport-car handling finesse — the right trade-off for a truck that may carry 1,717 lbs of cargo one weekend and tow a loaded boat trailer the next.

The RWD models' lower curb weight — 4,187 lbs versus the 4x4's 4,408 lbs — directly explains their higher payload rating of 1,821 lbs versus 1,717 lbs. The towing figure of 7,500 lbs is identical across all six configurations, and it's a number that covers most boat trailers, utility trailers, and small travel trailers that Puget Sound-area buyers commonly tow.

For XLT and Lariat buyers, a 2.7L EcoBoost® V6 Engine upgrade is available as a standalone option, bringing additional displacement and output beyond the standard 2.3L. That engine option, coded 99P, is available on both the XLT 4x4 and Lariat 4x4 configurations. Buyers interested in locking in financing before visiting the dealership can submit a credit application online to check current financing options to get pre-approved ahead of time.

Comfort and Space for Family Adventures

Five-passenger seating is standard across all six Ranger SuperCrew 5' Box variants, with a 2+3 front/rear configuration. The front row offers two individual bucket seats; the rear provides a full-width bench with a folding seatback and folding seat base — unlocking under-seat storage and a flat load floor when the bench is stowed.

The cabin dimensions are consistent across all trims, since the SuperCrew body is identical regardless of XL, XLT, or Lariat designation:

The 43.7 inches of front legroom accommodates taller drivers without compromise. The rear bench's 34.6-inch legroom is genuinely usable for adult passengers on longer drives — not just kids. Shoulder room in the rear at 56.7 inches means three adults can sit across without the middle seat becoming a punishment.

Where the trims diverge significantly is in seat quality and cabin materials. XL models use upgraded cloth/velour seating — durable and practical, available in Ebony only. XLT trims step up to the same upgraded cloth but add the option of Sandstone cloth, giving buyers a lighter interior color choice. The Lariat makes a genuine leap: standard leather seating surfaces in either Ebony or Sandstone, heated front seats, a 5-way power-adjustable driver's seat with electric lumbar, and a 4-way power-adjusted passenger seat. The Lariat's leather-wrapped steering wheel, leather-wrapped gear selector, and alloy-look door and instrument panel trim complete a cabin that reads as distinctly premium.

Climate control follows the same hierarchy. XL models get manual air conditioning — functional but basic. XLT models add a standard 2-zone automatic climate control system. Lariat trims include the same dual-zone automatic climate control as standard, plus rear ventilation outlets for back-seat passengers.

Storage is well-considered throughout: full center console with floor storage, front and rear cup holders, rear below-seat storage space, and a dashboard console. The 12-volt outlet count reaches three on XLT and Lariat trims (2 front, 1 cargo area), plus 2 front USB charging ports standard across all trims. Lariat trims add a standard wireless charging pad and a 120V household outlet — the latter particularly useful when the truck becomes a worksite power source or a campsite base.

For buyers who want to customize their Ranger further, Ford-approved parts and accessories are available through Evergreen Ford's parts store, covering everything from bed liners to cargo management rails to running boards. The Bedliner – Modular Drop-In and the Bedliner – Tough Bed® Spray-in are both factory-available options across all trims, as are Cargo Management Rails that add sliding tie-down anchorage points to the bed — practical additions for families hauling bikes, kayaks, or camping equipment.

Smart Tech to Keep You Connected from Commutes to Weekend Getaways

The infotainment gap between XL and the upper trims is the most buyer-visible technology difference in the 2026 Ranger lineup. XL models come standard with a 10-inch touchscreen and an 8-inch digital instrument cluster. XLT and Lariat trims jump to a 12-inch touchscreen with a 12-inch digital cluster — a noticeably larger, higher-resolution presentation that makes navigation and media controls easier to use at a glance.

Every trim, including the base XL, includes standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with indefinite subscription terms. Bluetooth connectivity, voice activation, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, and 2 front USB ports also appear across the entire lineup. The built-in Wi-Fi hotspot provides 3 GB per month for a 3-month introductory period, after which a subscription is required. Ford's 911 Assist® telematics system is standard on all trims, automatically connecting to emergency services in the event of an airbag deployment.

The navigation system on XLT and Lariat trims is a meaningful upgrade over the XL's screen: the 12-inch system includes 3D mapping, voice-guided navigation, internet-fed live traffic data for 36 months, and map update subscriptions for 12 months. The XL's 10-inch system includes navigation but at a smaller scale with 3-month traffic data.

Audio quality separates the tiers clearly. XL trims come with a 6-speaker system. XLT and Lariat trims step up to a 10-speaker system with subwoofer — a meaningful upgrade for buyers who spend significant time in the truck. The Lariat's 10-speaker count includes a subwoofer, making it genuinely enjoyable for long drives. Buyers who want satellite radio can add the SiriusXM with 360L (3-year plan) as an option on XLT and Lariat trims.

The XLT Technology Package is the most impactful option available on the XLT 4x4 and XLT SuperCrew configurations. It bundles Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with stop-and-go, a 360-Degree Camera system, front parking sensors, rear parking sensors with camera, side parking cameras, and traffic sign recognition. This package brings the XLT's active safety and parking technology nearly in line with the Lariat's standard suite — making the XLT 4x4 with this package a particularly compelling value proposition.

Connected vehicle services via Ford's connected services platform include remote start, remote lock/unlock, vehicle health diagnostics, driving history analysis, and vehicle locator — all included for 12 months before a subscription is required. The system connects via your smartphone rather than requiring a separate embedded plan beyond the Wi-Fi hotspot.

Buyers interested in the highest-performance Ranger technology experience — including the off-road-focused instrumentation and terrain systems of the performance-oriented model — can explore the 2026 Ranger Raptor inventory as a comparison point, though that model sits above the trims covered here.

Confidence on Roads and Forest Trails with Advanced Safety Systems

Every 2026 Ranger SuperCrew 5' Box trim ships with Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking as standard equipment. This system monitors the road ahead, delivers visual and acoustic warnings when a collision risk is detected, and applies emergency braking automatically if the driver does not respond. The system activates from as low as 3 mph, covering low-speed parking lot scenarios as well as highway situations. It includes pedestrian and cyclist detection, junction-turn awareness, and the ability to activate brake lights as an early warning signal to vehicles behind.

The Lane Keeping System is also standard across all trims, applying steering corrections when the truck drifts toward lane markings without a turn signal active. This is a driver-assistance feature — it does not take over steering — but it provides a meaningful nudge on the long, winding approaches to mountain trailheads where lane discipline can drift with fatigue.

BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert is standard on XLT and Lariat trims. This radar-based system monitors the blind-spot zones alongside the truck and alerts the driver when a vehicle enters those zones. The Cross-Traffic Alert component adds detection of vehicles approaching from behind when reversing — particularly useful in busy parking situations. XL models do not include BLIS as standard, but the upgrade is available through the Equipment Group 301A package on the XL 4x4.

The 360-Degree Camera system — standard on Lariat trims and available on XLT trims through the XLT Technology Package — stitches together feeds from multiple cameras to present a bird's-eye view of the truck's surroundings. When combined with the front parking sensor and reverse sensing system, it makes parking the Ranger's 210.6-inch body in tight urban spaces meaningfully less stressful.

The structural safety foundation is consistent across all trims: 6 airbags (dual front, front side, and front-and-rear side curtain), 4 ventilated disc brakes, ABS, brake assist, hill-start assist, electronic stability control, and roll stability control. Pre-tensioning front seatbelts with height adjustment and 3-point rear center belt complete the occupant protection system. LATCH child-seat anchors are present on the rear bench. Ford's 911 Assist® telematics automatically calls emergency services if an airbag deploys and the driver is unresponsive — a feature that carries real weight on remote forest roads where cell coverage is sparse.

The Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with stop-and-go function — standard on the Lariat and available on the XLT via the Technology Package — maintains a set following distance and can bring the truck to a complete stop in traffic before resuming automatically. This transforms the Ranger into a noticeably less fatiguing vehicle on congested commutes.

NHTSA crash test data in the catalog shows a 5-star frontal crash rating and 5-star side impact rating, with an overall 4-star rating. IIHS results show a Good rating on the small overlap front driver test, Acceptable on side impact, and Marginal on the moderate overlap front test — a profile consistent with a well-engineered midsize truck platform.

Breaking Down 2026 Ford Ranger Trim Pricing

The six SuperCrew 5' Box configurations divide cleanly into three trim tiers, each available in rear-wheel-drive and 4x4 all-wheel-drive variants. Understanding what each tier includes — and what it costs — makes the choice straightforward.

XL SuperCrew 5' Box — $33,550 (RWD) | XL 4x4 SuperCrew 5' Box — $37,050 (4x4)

The XL is the work-truck foundation. It arrives with the full powertrain, 7,500-lb towing, LED headlights, a 10-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, 6 speakers, manual air conditioning, cloth seating, a manual-adjust driver's seat, and Ford's MyKey® programmable key system. The XL does not include BLIS, adaptive cruise, a 12-inch screen, or heated seats. The Equipment Group 301A package, available on the XL 4x4, adds significant content: a 12-inch screen, power front seats with lumbar, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate, and 17-inch alloy wheels — bringing it close to XLT territory at the XL price point. The FX4 Off-Road Package is available on the XL 4x4, making it the most capable off-road value in the lineup. The XL 4x4 also allows the addition of a Trailer Brake Controller as a standalone option.

XLT SuperCrew 5' Box — $36,075 (RWD) | XLT 4x4 SuperCrew 5' Box — $39,575 (4x4)

The XLT adds $2,525 over the comparable XL and delivers a substantial content upgrade: a standard 12-inch touchscreen, satellite radio (3-month trial), 10-speaker audio with subwoofer, body-color-toned bumpers, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear selector, alloy-look interior trim, BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert, front tow/recovery hooks, and a standard main power supply outlet. The XLT Technology Package makes this tier particularly compelling: it adds Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with stop-and-go, 360-Degree Camera, front and rear parking sensors, side cameras, and traffic sign recognition. The XLT also opens the door to the 2.7L EcoBoost® V6 Engine option, the Convenience Package (wireless charging pad and main power supply), the Advanced Towing Package (Pro Trailer Backup Assist, trailer brake control, 360-camera trailer extension), and the Black Appearance Package.

Lariat SuperCrew 5' Box — $43,955 (RWD) | Lariat 4x4 SuperCrew 5' Box — $47,455 (4x4)

The Lariat is the premium daily-driver configuration. Over the XLT, it adds standard leather seating (Ebony or Sandstone), heated front seats, a 5-way power-adjustable driver's seat with memory settings and electric lumbar, a 4-way power passenger seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, ambient interior lighting, a wireless charging pad and 120V outlet (standard, not optional), an illuminated entry system, a garage door opener, Intelligent Access with Push Button Start, auto-dimming rearview mirror, electrically foldable mirrors, rear privacy glass, rain-sensing wipers, and the full 360-Degree Camera with front parking sensors standard. The Lariat 4x4 adds the FX4 Off-Road Package option and is the only configuration to offer the Chrome Accent Package (18-inch chrome alloy wheels, chrome bumpers, chrome mirrors). The Lariat also offers the Trailer Tow Advanced Package - Tech and Towing and the Advanced Towing Package for buyers who need Pro Trailer Backup Assist capability.

Both Lariat variants support an optional Power Moonroof with one-touch opening, sliding sunshade, and electric operation — an option not available on XL or XLT trims.

Warranty, Maintenance, and Service Insights for 2026 Ford Ranger Owners

Ford's warranty coverage on the 2026 Ranger is consistent across all six SuperCrew 5' Box configurations. The bumper-to-bumper basic warranty runs for 36 months or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. The powertrain warranty extends to 60 months or 60,000 miles — covering the engine, transmission, and drivetrain components that represent the truck's core investment. Anti-perforation corrosion coverage runs for 60 months, and paint coverage applies for 36 months or 36,000 miles. Ford roadside assistance is included for 60 months or 60,000 miles, matching the powertrain warranty term. This means that for five years, a Ranger owner who experiences a breakdown on a remote Issaquah-area forest road has manufacturer-backed roadside support available.

The roadside assistance program is Ford's own — not a third-party service — and provides brand-specific expertise, genuine Ford parts, and coordination through Ford-authorized service centers. This matters particularly for 4x4 owners who may encounter mechanical situations in areas where independent tow services have limited reach.

Washington state's climate adds a practical maintenance consideration: the wet winters and occasional heavy leaf-fall seasons accelerate brake dust accumulation and corrosion on undercarriage components. The Ranger's 4-wheel ventilated disc brakes are a strong foundation, but keeping up with scheduled maintenance intervals ensures the brake assist system and ABS function correctly when a slick road demands them. Buyers who choose the Bedliner – Tough Bed® Spray-in option protect the bed steel from the salt and moisture that accumulate during wet-season hauling.

For buyers who want the peace of mind of a certified pre-owned vehicle with extended coverage, Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicles at Evergreen Ford carry their own warranty program on top of any remaining factory coverage. This can be a practical path to the Ranger's capability for buyers whose price point is below the new-truck range.

Keeping service on schedule is straightforward: book a service appointment online at Evergreen Ford rather than waiting for a warning light to force the decision. The Ranger's onboard telematics include vehicle health diagnostics accessible through Ford's connected services platform, which can alert owners to developing issues before they become roadside problems.

Awards and Expert Recognition Highlighting the 2026 Ford Ranger's Strengths

The 2026 Ranger's platform carries recognition earned over the current generation's lifecycle that speaks directly to what the XL, XLT, and Lariat trims deliver.

Edmunds awarded the Ford Ranger its Top Rated Truck designation for 2025 — one of the most credible buyer-facing endorsements in automotive journalism, earned through Edmunds' structured real-world testing rather than press-event driving. The award specifically recognized the Ranger's balance of capability, technology, and everyday usability. According to Edmunds, the Ranger's combination of responsive powertrain, well-calibrated ride quality, and comprehensive standard safety features positions it at the top of the midsize truck segment for buyers who use their trucks as genuine daily drivers rather than weekend showpieces.

The North American Car of the Year organization awarded the Ford Ranger its 2025 North American Truck of the Year title — a recognition voted on by a jury of professional automotive journalists across North America, and one of the most scrutinized awards in the industry. This distinction reflects not just the truck's hardware but its overall execution: how well the engineering, design, technology, and value proposition come together as a complete package for North American buyers and their specific use cases.

For buyers weighing the Ranger against competitors like the Toyota Tacoma or the Chevrolet Colorado, these recognitions provide third-party validation that the comparison is worth making on the Ranger's terms. Car and Driver and MotorTrend have both covered the current Ranger generation extensively, with coverage noting the EcoBoost engine's real-world torque delivery, the 10-speed transmission's smooth progression through gears, and the SuperCrew body's genuine utility as a family truck.

The NHTSA's 5-star frontal crash rating and 5-star side impact rating add safety credibility to the platform, reinforcing that the Ranger's capability extends to protecting occupants when the unexpected happens — not just when conditions are cooperative.

2026 Ford Ranger Buyer Questions Answered

Q: Which 2026 Ranger trim is the best value for a buyer who wants 4x4 capability without the Lariat price?

The XLT 4x4 SuperCrew 5' Box at $39,575 is the strongest value in the 4x4 lineup. It includes standard BLIS, body-color bumpers, a 12-inch touchscreen, 10-speaker audio, and front tow hooks. Adding the XLT Technology Package layers in Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control, a 360-Degree Camera, and front parking sensors — bringing the XLT 4x4 within striking distance of the Lariat's active safety suite at roughly $8,000 less. The FX4 Off-Road Package is also available on the XLT 4x4 for buyers who prioritize trail capability.

Q: Does the 2026 Ranger tow enough to pull a boat or travel trailer?

All six SuperCrew 5' Box configurations share an identical 7,500-lb maximum towing capacity, regardless of drivetrain or trim level. A well-equipped fishing boat on a single-axle trailer, a personal watercraft trailer, or a small travel trailer all fall comfortably within that rating. Buyers who want integrated trailer management should look at the Advanced Towing Package (available on XLT and Lariat trims), which adds Pro Trailer Backup Assist, a trailer brake controller, and a 360-camera trailer-view extension — making backing a trailer significantly less stressful for less experienced towers.

Q: What is the difference between the RWD and 4x4 models in daily driving?

On dry pavement, the RWD SuperCrew models are lighter (4,187 lbs vs. 4,408 lbs), return better fuel economy (23 vs. 21 combined MPG), and carry more payload (1,821 lbs vs. 1,717 lbs). In wet conditions, on loose gravel, or in snow, the 4x4 system's Electronic-Shift-On-the-Fly (ESOF) provides confidence that RWD cannot match. The 4x4 also enables the FX4 Off-Road Package for buyers who go beyond paved surfaces. Washington's rainy seasons make the 4x4 a practical choice for buyers who regularly drive on unpaved roads.

Q: Do all trims include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?

Yes — wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard on every 2026 Ranger SuperCrew 5' Box trim, including the base XL. Both integrations are included with indefinite subscription terms. The primary infotainment difference across trims is screen size: XL models use a 10-inch touchscreen, while XLT and Lariat trims upgrade to a 12-inch display with a full navigation system, 3D mapping, live traffic data, and a 12-month map update subscription.
