XT has regular LATCH connectors. XTSL stands for SuperLATCH. It is made to be more weight bearing than the original connectors. Sunshine Kids says that you can use SuperLATCH up to the weight limit of the car seat, regardless of your vehicle's weight limit, as long as your vehicle was manufactured 9/1/05 or later. It's pretty amazing, if I must say so myself.

ETA: Here's a video of what the connectors look like.

Oh, ok, that makes sense, thanks! Do you know the latch limit on the XT, is it 40lbs.? I love the malibu print but being able to latch to 80lbs. would be nice!

The LATCH limit always depends on the vehicle's rules. A lot are different, it should state in your car manual.
