2012 Ford F-150

The 2012 Ford F-150 SuperCrew Cab XLT Pickup 4D 5 1/2 ft stands as an exceptionally popular, highly versatile benchmark in the full-size truck segment, representing a sweet-spot configuration for the twelfth-generation F-150 platform. Built on a fully boxed high-strength steel frame, this four-door pickup combines everyday family usability, strong workhorse capability, and low ownership costs with class-leading towing and payload performance.
Under the sculpted hood, the 2012 XLT comes standard with a reliable 3.7-liter Ti-VCT V6 engine producing 302 horsepower, or the widely optioned 5.0-liter Ti-VCT 32-valve V8 engine generating 360 horsepower at 5,500 RPM and 380 lb-ft of torque at 4,250 RPM (or the available high-output 3.5-liter Twin-Turbocharged EcoBoost® V6 engine producing 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque). Power across these configurations is managed by a smooth-shifting SelectShift® 6-speed automatic transmission featuring progressive range select and manual gear control. Drive torque is routed to the rear wheels via Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) or through an available 4x4 part-time transfer case system, paired with an available Electronic-Locking Rear Differential (3.55 or 3.73 axle ratio). Supported by an independent double-wishbone front suspension and leaf-spring rear axle, the XLT delivers a smooth highway ride and confident load hauling.
On the exterior, the XLT trim executes a classic, clean truck statement defined by its prominent chrome two-bar front grille with chrome surround, chrome front and rear step bumpers, dual composite halogen headlights, and front fog lamps. Functional exterior features include power-adjustable side mirrors, deep-tinted rear privacy glass, a power-sliding rear window with defrost, SecuriCode™ keyless entry keypad, and a 5.5-foot short cargo bed equipped with cargo tie-down hooks. The truck achieves a confident stance rolling on 17-inch machined-aluminum wheels (or available 18-inch chrome-clad aluminum wheels) wrapped in all-season tires.
Inside, the spacious SuperCrew cab welcomes up to six occupants across two rows into a durable, functional interior featuring steel gray or adobe accents and 40/20/40 split-bench front seating (or available front bucket seats with a center console) draped in premium cloth upholstery. Interior amenities include a 6-way power-adjustable driver seat, a leather-wrapped tilt steering wheel with integrated audio and cruise controls, Manual Air Conditioning, power windows with driver express-down, power door locks, keyless entry, auto-dimming rearview mirror, and an overhead storage console.

Practicality and cargo utility remain exceptional thanks to the full four-door SuperCrew layout, treating rear passengers to class-leading legroom alongside 60/40 split-folding rear bench seats that flip up to reveal a completely flat load floor. The 5.5-foot bed provides 55.4 cubic feet of cargo volume, supporting a maximum payload capacity of up to 1,700 lbsand a maximum conventional towing capacity of up to 9,600 lbs when properly equipped with the 5.0L V8 or 3.5L EcoBoost engine and factory trailer tow package.
Backed by a standard 26.0-gallon fuel tank (or available 36.0-gallon extended-range tank) to support long-distance travel, the 5.0L V8 engine achieves an EPA-estimated 15 MPG city and 21 MPG highway for 2WD models (14/19 MPG for 4WD models). Safety is top-tier, securing an NHTSA 4-Star Overall Safety Rating utilizing a high-strength safety cage structure. The truck comes factory-equipped with AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™ (RSC®), Trailer Sway Control, 4-wheel Anti-lock Disc Brakes (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Dist
