What Is the Super Duty STX Appearance Package?

The STX Appearance Package is Ford’s styling upgrade for the Super Duty XL — the work-truck base trim. The XL is built for value and function, which usually means painted black bumpers, a black grille, and a no-frills look. STX changes that. It adds body-color and painted exterior touches, sharper wheels, and a more finished interior, so you get a truck that still has work-truck bones and work-truck pricing but looks a notch above a basic fleet unit.

It’s an appearance package, so it’s about looks and a few comfort touches rather than added capability. But for buyers who want an affordable Super Duty that doesn’t look bare-bones, it’s the smart way to get there from the factory.

What’s Included in the STX Appearance Package?

The 2027 STX Appearance Package (option 17S) includes:

• Body-color front and rear bumpers
• Painted grille
• LED fog lamps
• LED reflector headlamps
• 20-inch Dark Carbonized Gray painted cast aluminum wheels (single-rear-wheel)
• LT275/65R20 all-terrain tires (single-rear-wheel)
• Full color-coordinated carpet with floor mats
• STX fender vent badge
• Cloth 40/20/40 split-bench seat with center armrest, cupholder, and storage

On the F-350 dual-rear-wheel, the package includes 17-inch Forged Polished aluminum wheels instead of the 20-inch SRW wheels.

What Does the STX Package Require?

The STX Appearance Package has a short, simple list of requirements and restrictions:

Available on:

• The XL trim

Requires:

• 4x4

Not available with:

• The F-450
• The XL Chrome Package (you pick one look or the other)

That’s it — a clean, straightforward package. Because it lives on the XL, it’s one of the most accessible ways to get a good-looking Super Duty without stepping up to a higher trim.

STX and the XL Tremor Connection

Here’s a detail a lot of buyers don’t realize: for 2027, the Tremor Off-Road Package became available on the XL for the first time — but ordering a Tremor on the XL requires the STX Appearance Package, the XL Driver Assist Package, and the 160-inch wheelbase.

So if your goal is the most affordable path into a factory-built off-road Super Duty, STX is part of that build. You start with the XL, add STX, and that opens the door to the Tremor hardware — 35-inch tires, locking rear differential, skid plates, and off-road drive modes. If that’s the direction you’re leaning, read our full Tremor Off-Road Package guide for the complete picture.

Is the STX Package Worth It?

For the right buyer, it’s one of the best values in the lineup — and here’s the honest way to think about it.

It makes sense if: you want an affordable Super Duty but don’t want it to look stripped-down, you like the idea of body-color bumpers and sharper wheels without stepping up to XLT or Lariat, or you’re planning an XL Tremor build and need STX as part of it. It’s a small, smart upgrade that changes how the truck presents itself.

It may not be the right fit if: you’re buying a pure fleet or work unit where appearance doesn’t matter and every dollar counts, you need an F-450, or you specifically want the chrome look of the XL Chrome Package instead.

For a lot of central Minnesota buyers — farmers, tradespeople, and anyone who wants a capable truck that still looks good pulling into the yard or the jobsite — STX hits a sweet spot between value and presence.
