According to Wikipedia there is no Custom trim:
For 1982–1986:
For 1982–1986:
- Base – basically the same as the Custom of the previous years.
- XL – replaced the intermediate Ranger trim for 1982 as the Ranger name would be used for Ford's new compact truck.
- XLS- a new trim level that featured a blacked-out grille, bumpers, headlight bezels, and windshield trim. It also featured a stripe graphics package and black and silver dash trim. Available exterior colors were red, silver, and black.
- XLT Lariat- featured floor carpeting, color-keyed headliner, a standard chrome grille, and optional power windows/door locks.1984 saw the last year for woodgrain trim on the door panels as 1985–1986 models had a carpeted section applied to the door panels.In 1985 the tailgate trim was changed to a "flat" full width aluminum with a red "reflector" towards the bottom with chrome FORD letters.
- Explorer – Could be had with any interior setup. The "Explorer" trim line received a higher geared rear end, an AM/FM radio, chrome bumpers, chrome fender well trim, and a chrome grill. The Explorer Line would later be dropped to introduce the Ford Explorer SUV in 1991.Explorer packages changed every year,and were only offered for a limited time each model year.
