Get to Know the 2023 Ford F-150

The 2023 Ford F-150 doubles as both a highway cruiser and an off-road adventurer, thanks to its available four-wheel drive and powerful engine performance. For daily drives around town or family road trips, it also packs plenty of innovative technology to make every drive a bit more memorable. If this is your first introduction to this new fan-favorite, here’s a quick rundown to cover some of its key features.

Engines and Capabilities

You may have a hard time choosing an engine with this edition of the F-150, as there are several impressive options available. These range from a 3.3-liter V6 with 290 horsepower that comes standard in both the XL and XLT trims to a 5.2-liter V8 with 700 horses that are exclusively offered for the trail-tackling Raptor R option.

Four-wheel drive is available, and regardless of whether you choose a two-wheel- or four-wheel-drive setup, there’s a terrain management system available for both options. When towing trailers, you’ll be able to pull up to 14,000 pounds if you go with the 400-horsepower 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, while a best-in-class payload capacity of 3,326 pounds is offered by a 5.0-liter V8 with the same amount of horsepower.

Comfort and Technology

Inside the truck’s cab, available amenities include leather-trimmed reclining seats, dual-zone climate control, ambient lighting, and interior wood accents. For times when you need a flat surface for a laptop, the fold-out work surface is sure to be convenient.

SYNC is an advanced infotainment system that offers you both voice command technology and a 12-inch touchscreen, depending on which you prefer to use with your music, phone calls, and navigational info. To get weight measurements of cargo, you can simply load it in the bed and use the Onboard Scales feature to gauge this.

Advanced Safety Systems

Pre-Collision Assist and Automatic Emergency Braking are just two of the many safety systems offered with this edition to keep you safe. The first system warns whenever hazards are detected in your path, while the other can fully stop the truck when there’s little time to react.

For off-road driving, both a 360-degree camera system and a slow-speed cruise control system called Trail Control are available, so you’ll be aware of your surroundings while being able to focus on the path ahead instead of the pedals.

Few full-size trucks come close to offering the performance, safety, and advanced technology that the 2023 F-150 does, which is why many drivers can’t stop talking about it.
