How does Pro trim compares to XL trim on ICE?

[Pilot2022]

For those who have seen Pro in person, how does it look and feel compared to XL?
I was trying to price compare them. A pro with no options is40k; an XL ICE super crew 4x4 is $40.5k before any delivery/acquisition costs.

with rebate, Pro will be $32.5k. If you drive them for 3 years under warranty and sell for 50%, Pro will cost about $100 less per month than ICE + less fuel costs.

ofcourse these are super simple assumptions and final numbers will change as more info comes.
Back to driving experience, Pro will be faster than XL but hopefully a nicer driving experience as well.

Biggest thing is the carpeted floors and cloth seats on an XL versus the rubber floors and vinyl seats on the Pro. Some prefer the rubber/vinyl but to me would just make it feel too much like a work truck or fleet vehicle than my own daily driver. If it’s being used for work all the time or on a farm etc might be a benefit.

A big upgrade in the pro vs XL is the 12” screen and digital gauge cluster. You have to step up to the XLT with the highest package for that screen. Lariat for digital gauges. Also that XL is coming with the base V6.

Thanks. Sounds like some nice upgrades for less price!
plus with independent suspension, I am thinking it should be smoother ride than ICE XL.

Don't forget all the technology the Pro includes.

Backup camera is required on all new vehicles (from 2018 I think).

What trim do you have to step up on ICE to get most of these features? Sounds like PRO is a screaming deal at $32.5k…

Is there any ICE model with vinyl/rubber I can take a look at dealership?

More common I'd you look at F250s or F350s. You can get that in Base XL trims, but not as many of those are ordered by dealers

It is interesting how for vinyl vs cloth there isn’t a clear better option. I prefer vinyl because if I spill my coffee on cloth seats, which I will likely do at some point, then I won’t be able to clean it. Some people prefer cloth because if it is hot you get cooked on vinyl. Where I live temperatures rarely exceed 75F though, so I am happy that the Pro comes with vinyl.

same here..prefer vinyl due to moderate temps.

I wonder if the rubber floors means if it can be hosed off...would make life easy to keep it clean....

Don’t forget the LED headlights that are standard. Push button start is also standard as is the center console.

The current (2021) ICE XL is a really nice interior compared to the previous gen. Some of that is a result of the redesign for F150 interiors, and some of it is the typical trickle down of features to lower trims that Ford does over time.

Combine that with the hightech nature and overall mission of the EV F150 and I don't think the XL trim is going to be the stereotype XL. It won't be "luxury", but it won't be bare bones either.

What about normal cruise control on the Pro? Standard, optional, or not available? I haven't seen it mentioned. I know you can't get adaptive cruise on the Pro.

What about old fashioned cruise control?
