XL ?

I have a 1992 E 250. When I check for parts on-line it often asks if it's an XL. Does that mean extra long, because it is long? Nothing on title or truck says XL but tags may be missing.

It's a trim package. The base model was XL normally with a vinyl floor and manual windows. The step-up trim XLT adds carpet and power windows among other things. Later Ford added the Chateau trim package that was more like a conversion van.

This is what JC Whitney wrote: "We can check if we carry the compatible part in our inventory. Please inform us if your vehicle has a Base or XL sub model." Need to get new shocks. Mine has an extended body with back seat and over 8 feet cargo behind it.

Yea, what Rick said. What difference does the trim package make if you are buying shocks? Surprised they didn't ask for the paint code.

You can look at the inside of the driver side door jamb for the sticker that has the VIN and production date.

Called Whitney instead of messaging them. Problem solved and got a better price to boot. Yeah, things don't always make sense :0)
