With a 14, the FX4 was was a trim level. A "sport" could refer to either an FX2 or an STX. The FX2 was the FX4s 2wd counterpart. Very similar in appearance and available options. The STX was between an XL and XLT, had much more limited options, but did have ptm parts instead of chrome.

For a 2015+, the FX4 went back to being an offroad package instead of a trim level (4x4, better than standard gearing, e-locker, skid plates, and I'm sure some other features). The sport package replaces chrome with ptm and is styled more like the previous FX4. The rest of the options on the truck will depend on the the actual trim level and other packages.

AAMOF, with the upgrades, the only practical things a Raptor has over me is the front cameras, a cool grille (that only looks good on a real Raptor) and a gas-guzzling 6.2L (with less hp/tq)

I've always called XL, XLT, Lariat, etc trim levels, but maybe sub model is more accurate. The point I was trying to make is that the 09-14 FX4 was a stand alone trim level (or sub model, whatever you want to call it) and not simply a package that could be added to an XLT or Lariat, etc.

So this means that having an FX4 in a 2014 is much more specific and descriptive than for a 2015. In other words, 2015+ FX4s will vary more from truck to truck, so there are fewer generalizations that can be made.

Max Tow got you the TBC, higher GVWR, 3.73s, upgraded cooling, upgraded hitch, and tow mirrors (in the US).
