Back in the day before you had your choice of 100 different trip levels, Ford had the XL, XLT, XLT Lariat trim levelsXL Basic truckCrank your windows and manual locksAM/FM radio, could option a tape playerCarpet was optional, a tough rubber mat was standardA Vinyl covered bench seat was standard, cloth was optionalXLT You picked up power windows and locks, usually cruise control, cloth seat, carpeted floortape player was standard (CD optional) Lariat Same as XLT but you get leather seating (was still cloth till '93), the best radio avail, cruiseWIth today's Fords, you can have more trim levels than that, but that gives you a good idea of what they includedXLT doesn't really stand for anything that I'm aware ofMaybe the 'T' could stand for 'Touring'XL could mean Extra Luxury; I'm just making this stuff up.
Ford came out with the XL trim package originally in April of 1962 for the Galaxie Fairlane modelsIt was much the same as the SS for ChevroletThe XL trim package meant Extra Luxurious, in 1962 it meant bucket seats, center console, optional floor shift auto and 4 spdSpecial interior light package and different door trim from the standard Ford model and different chrome trim and badging outsideIt was a very sporty looking car, I know I own a 1962 Galaxie 500 XL and a 1964 Galaxie 500 XLThe XL badging was used on full size Fords up to 1970 but did not always mean a special interior The true meaning of the XLT means the same as it always had Extra Luxurious trim, T Truck The sad part about the XL badging Ford was not smart enough to lisense and own the XL badging and it is used on many cars even imports which is a shameYou don't see SS which means Super Sport on any cars but Chevys Ford Galaxie owner since 1974.
