At Northside Ford, we carry three trims. The F-550 XL is the entry-level model, the XLT has a bit more to offer, and the Lariat is the most advanced. Because of its ideal combination of features and advanced technology, the Lariat has attracted a lot of attention from many Beaverton and Vancouver, WA customers. The XLT, too, has many intriguing qualities, and even the XL is a well-equipped model that should prove to be very useful.
Interior
With a Crew Cab or a Super Cab configuration, you'll be able to fit up to six passengers in two rows, and the seats could be covered in vinyl, cloth, or leather. When you don't need room for rear-seat passengers as you drive around Gresham, you can flip up the bench seat to create more storage space. The front row can also be set up with a bench, but the high-end Lariat can come with a console in the middle of its front row instead of an additional seat. The Lariat also features power-adjustable front seats and can be configured with heated and ventilated front seats and a heated rear seat.
Exterior
When you look at the exterior of the Ford F-550, it's clear that this truck was designed to handle the toughest of projects. It has a boxy, rugged frame, tow hooks, mud flaps, telescoping trailer tow mirrors, and quad dual-beam halogen headlamps that can easily light up dark roads and work areas around Milwaukie. The LED roof marker clearance lights are useful, and the optional fog lights and utility lighting system can come in handy, too. Other optional features include platform running boards and a power-sliding rear window.
Performance
Regarding performance, the Ford F-550 truly shines. Most models are powered by 7.3-liter V8 engines that can deliver 335 horsepower and an impressive 468 pound-feet of torque. The ten-speed automatic transmission has different drive modes to optimize your performance in various conditions. If you prefer to drive a diesel, this Ford truck can be equipped with a 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel. This engine will give you 330 horsepower and 825 pound-feet of torque.
Technology
Ford has given the XL trim a SYNC system that provides you with Bluetooth, 911 Assist, and a text messaging assistant. The XLT has a more advanced SYNC 3 interface with smartphone connectivity and SiriusXM radio. If you get the Lariat, you'll be able to enjoy a Bang & Olufsen premium sound system, integrated navigation, and a SYNC 4 software system.
Safety
This truck can keep you safe with its airbags and safety canopy system, and the SOS post-crash alert system can engage when necessary. Automatic high beams, lane departure warning, and an automatic emergency braking system are all optional components that you may want to consider.
