Ford Equipment Group Codes Explained

How Ford trim levels are built: series, group, package

Ford's order guides describe every vehicle in layers. The legend marks each item as S (standard), I (included in the equipment group), O (optional) or P (packaged option). That is why two trucks with the same badge can be very different: the series sets the base, the group sets the tier, and packages add the rest.

What the Ford 302A package includes (2025 F-150 XLT)

302A is the XLT “Mid” equipment group. Per Ford's 2025 F-150 order guide, it includes the following over the 301A Standard group (303A High adds 20-inch chrome-like PVD wheels, a B&O sound system, power-adjustable pedals and the Mobile Office Package on top):

• • Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 — 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control with lane centering and stop & go, evasive steering assist, front parking sensors, Pro Trailer Backup Assist and Pro Trailer Hitch Assist
• • Connected navigation (1-year trial)
• • Cloth 40/console/40 seats with 10-way power driver’s seat
• • Heated front seats
• • Intelligent Access with push-button start
• • Power-sliding rear window
• • Remote start with remote tailgate release
• • 400W outlets in cab and bed (2.4 kW Pro Power Onboard instead with the PowerBoost hybrid)

On 302A/303A, BlueCruise hardware with a 1-year plan is a separate option (601). Content changes by model year — earlier F-150s used the same 302A label with different contents.

Ford equipment groups by model (2025)

Transcribed from Ford's 2025 order guides. Ford reuses numbers across models — 302A is an XLT group on both the F-150 and the Maverick, with different content — so a code only means something next to its model and year.

Super Duty: Ford does not publish a current Super Duty order guide on its media site, so groups are not listed here — see the Super Duty build sheet page for the options that matter.

Same code, different year: the Explorer example

Ford's 2025 Explorer order guide lists what changed: Limited (300A, 301A), XLT (202A), Timberline (800A), ST (401A) and King Ranch (701A) were deleted; ST-Line moved from 250A to 300A and Platinum from 601A to 600A. A 2024 Explorer coded 300A is a Limited; a 2025 coded 300A is an ST-Line. This is the most common reason a listing's “package” claim doesn't match the vehicle.

How to read the group on a window sticker or build sheet

On an original Ford window sticker the equipment group usually appears as its own line — for example “Equipment Group 302A Mid” — near the top of the options list, followed by the packages and options ordered on top of it. The VIN and the door-jamb label do not carry it. If the sticker is gone, try the free Ford window sticker by VIN lookup, then a build sheet, which lists the group and packages when the underlying build data includes them.
