Ford STX Package Guide
The versatility of Ford trucks is one of the brand's major selling points. You get multiple configuration options allowing you to customize the exact truck that you want. But this huge list of available configurations and options can make it difficult to figure out exactly what’s right for you. This is often especially true of option ‘packages’, which package together multiple options which can make big changes to a vehicle. To help demystify this a bit, Joe Rizza Ford of Orland Park put together a guide to the STX Appearance Package - a popular package that many people have questions about.
However, navigating the extensive lineup of Ford trucks can seem overwhelming if you’re not sure which type of truck is right for you. That’s where our team at Joe Rizza Ford comes in! We’ve assembled our top tips for narrowing down your search and choosing the right pickup truck based on your lifestyle and driving needs. You’ll have all the information you need to make an informed buying decision.

STX VS XLT
Here is a question that comes up alot: What is the difference between “STX” and “XLT”. 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. The STX is a way to give your XL trim truck some extra flair without the need to spend more on upgrading to the higher trim level.
