What is a good way to tell an XE from and SE?

 

[04BlackTitanLE]

Chrome bumpers or color matched, unless its an 08+ pro4x but then it'll have the decals designating so.

chrome equals SE and color matched equals XE?

on the XE front bumper is plastic and painted. rear bumper is grey painted metal. no side trim on doors,

on se you get chrome center metal bumper up front, and chrome bumper in rear. you also get the trim on the doors.

you can also look at the tailgate. if it just says 5.6 its probably a xe if it says se or le well... that is what you have.

the only sure way is in the VIN code

Have your vin # checked.

Also, the newer XE's have charcoal grey front/back bumpers regardless of the body color

What year?

Like the others have said, color matched grille, no door ding guards are a sign of an XE. That is, if the previous owner has not changed out parts.


If before 07, look at the door jam and check what size tire is listed. If it lists an 18 inch wheel, it is either an SE or LE. If it lists and 17 inch wheel that is not a 285 series, than good chances it is an XE.

Things changed 08+, so im not sure how to be totally sure with those years.

It is a 2004 and based on this thread it sounds like it is an SE
