2017 Ford F‑150 XLT SuperCrew 5.0L – V8 Power, Work‑Ready Practicality

This 2017 Ford F‑150 XLT SuperCrew with the 5.0L V8 is a serious half‑ton pickup built for drivers who need real truck capability with everyday comfort. With a full four‑door cab, strong towing and payload numbers, and Ford’s proven V8 under the hood, it’s ready for workdays, weekend towing, and everything in between.

Power comes from a 5.0L V8 engine producing 385 horsepower and 387 lb‑ft of torque, paired with a 6‑speed automatic transmission. That combination delivers strong acceleration, smooth highway cruising, and the kind of low‑end torque you want for towing and hauling. Depending on configuration, V8 F‑150s like this can tow well over 10,000 lb and handle payloads around 2,000 lb when properly equipped, giving you plenty of capacity for trailers, toys, or job‑site gear.edmunds+2

Fuel economy is respectable for a full‑size V8 truck. A 2017 F‑150 with the 5.0L V8 is EPA‑rated at about 15 mpg city and 21 mpg highway in 4WD form, which converts to roughly 15.7 L/100km in the city and 11.2 L/100km on the highway. Two‑wheel‑drive versions are slightly more efficient at about 15 mpg city and 22 mpg highway, or roughly 15.7 L/100km city and 10.7 L/100km highway, so real‑world numbers will vary with drivetrain, load, and driving style.[fueleconomy]​

Inside, the XLT trim focuses on comfort and usability. The SuperCrew cab offers generous legroom front and rear so adults can travel comfortably in both rows, and the rear bench flips up to create extra interior cargo space. You typically get cloth seating, air conditioning, cruise control, power windows and locks, and Ford’s SYNC infotainment with Bluetooth, USB, steering‑wheel audio controls, and available touchscreen depending on equipment. The wide centre console and multiple storage areas make it easy to keep tools, paperwork, and personal items organized.edmunds+1

This SuperCrew rides on a 145‑inch wheelbase with an overall length of about 231.9 inches, around 80 inches wide without mirrors, and roughly 77 inches tall, with a 5.5‑foot box that’s easy to live with daily while still offering serious utility. The bed provides plenty of room for lumber, quads, or job‑site equipment, and with features like tie‑downs and available bed liners or covers, it’s ready to work.autonationfordscottsdale+1
