XL vs. XLT

XL vs. XLT
I have been looking for a new truck and have only recently been looking in this date range. I have found a vehicle that I think is a pretty good deal, but some of the VIN# decoders I have looked at say it is an XL, and some say it is an XLT. I have only seen pictures of the vehicle online at this point. Is there any way to tell for sure which model it is, and should I be concerned if it is one model vs. the other, or does it really matter? It has about 150,000 miles on it.
The VIN# is: 1FTFW1EF7BFC16102
Thanks for any input you might have!

VIN decoders are mostly useless for determining trim level. Ford's ETIS site isn't perfect, but it's the best I know of and it says XL. Generally, an XLT has more features than an XL, but decked out XL is similarly equipped as a base XLT. As long as you are satisfied with the options/features of the truck, that's all that really matters. (and the price....XLTs are generally more expensive than an XL)
Here are what is lists as features:

Yes, XLTs are generally more expensive than XLs, but they also have the highest rebates of any trim model. Compare carefully.

No, but as of a few months ago, you do have to register to see the option details.
