Ford F-150 STX Appearance Package machined aluminum wheels with flash gray painted pockets, body color bumpers, front fascia, and grille surround and nostrils with black mesh insert, halogen fog lamps, privacy glass, rear window defroster, and STX box side decal.

What does STX mean on a Ford truck? It means you'll find high-end features that make your Ford truck look incredible on Granite City streets, inside and out. From special upholstery to upgraded wheels and grilles, what STX means on a Ford truck is a higher level of style and performance.

What is the STX Appearance Package? The STX Appearance Package includes some outstanding exterior design elements plus a few enhancements to the interior of the F-150/F-250. The STX isn't considered a trim level, but rather, a package that can be added to any existing F-150/F-250 trim.

Yes, 2017 is a great year. We have received a lot of positive owner reviews about the truck being safe, powerful, and spacious. Reliability ratings are great with a few minor engine issues reported. Models from 2015–2016 have more complaints, and 2019 and newer models have fewer engine problems.

The STX is an entry-level truck that sits slightly higher, in terms of options and features, than that of the XL trim. While it may lack in some features like Sliding rear window or Power adjustable seat of the XLT trim, it makes up for it in style. Its price point is not to be ignored either.

Simply put, the XLT is a trim level and the STX is an options package. Upgrading to the XLT trim level gives you some of the same equipment as the STX, but it is a much more extensive list overall.

These full-size trucks generally last between 200,000 and 300,000 miles, as long as they're properly maintained. If you drive an average of 15,000 miles per year around the Dayton-area, you can expect your F-150 to last anywhere between 13 and 30 years.

STX is between XL and XLT. The FX4 of that generation was I think kinda between XLT and Lariat, or more of a Lariat with painted bumpers and no chrome.

A Ford F-150 is expected to last around 200,000 miles when properly cared for. Since the average driver clocks in about 12,000 miles per year, this comes out to roughly 17 years.

F-150 Model Years to Avoid: 2015-2017 These years were incredibly high selling model years, but we know they didn't always perform at expectation when looking back on this stretch.

Equipped with this powertrain, the 2017 F-150 is rated at 21 mpg combined (18 city, 25 highway) with rear-wheel drive, and 20 mpg combined (17 city, 23 highway) with four-wheel drive.

The main difference between the Xl and the STX is that the STX is actually an appearance package that can be included with the XL SuperCab and SuperCrew non-3.3L V6 engine trim.
