The 2008 Ford F-150 returns in five trim levels spread over three cab styles, three box lengths, and two box styles. The base version is the F-150 XL; a sport STX version and an all-purpose XLT version are a little pricier; an FX4 edition is aimed at the off-road crowd; and the Lariat is the most luxurious version, especially when the King Ranch option is ticked.
