2023 Ford F-150
Overview
The iconic Ford F-150 was introduced back in 1948. Since then, it has done nothing but become the most popular vehicle of all time. For the last 30 years, the F-150 has grown to become the best-selling vehicle in the United States (topping all other cars, SUVs, etc.). And over 40 years, the Ford F-150 has been the best-selling pickup truck in the U.S. — topping the Silverado 1500, Ram 1500, Toyota Tacoma, and every other truck. Based on these highly-esteemed accomplishments, it's clear the Ford F-150 has captured something special.
The 2023 Ford F-150 builds upon this remarkable legacy with stunning performance, world-class technology, and head-turning good looks. This workhorse is tougher than ever before and smarter than ever. Let's take a closer look at the Ford F-150 as well as a few key highlights drivers can look forward to.
The Perfect Ride For...
The 2023 Ford F-150 is offered in a diverse array of trims, spanning from the entry-level F-150 XL up to the luxury F-150 Limited. Because of the handsomely-equipped lineup of F-150 trucks, there's one for every driver. Those who are looking for a powerful but more economical work truck tend to lean toward the XL. This truck comes equipped with all of the essentials and the performance to power through the toughest of jobs. If you're considering a truck that offers you the best of both worlds — stunning appeal and value — the F-150 Lariat confidently checks all of the boxes. Drivers who desire the top-of-the-line comforts and premium features commonly reserved for luxury vehicles can find all of this in more in the Platinum and Limited trims. Although trucks have traditionally been recognized as gas-guzzling machines, the F-150 features a class-exclusive available 3.5L Power Boost Full Hybrid V6 engine that delivers the exceptional efficiency most commuters need.
Drive and Handling
The Ford F-150 boasts an impressive engine lineup that features six available engines, including the groundbreaking 3.5L PowerBoost Full Hybrid V6. This class-exclusive engine harnesses the collective might of electric and gas energy to produce a mind-bending 570 lb.-ft. of torque, 430 HP, and a blistering 12,700-lb. towing capacity. The 3.0L Power Stroke Turbo Diesel engine achieves outstanding performance with up to 440 lb.-ft. of torque and 250 HP, which lets you tow up to 12,100 lbs.
For the most towing, the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine delivers Best-in-Class of 14,000 lbs thanks to Ford's port-fuel and direct-injection (PFDI) system and a host of other innovative solutions. When it comes to V8 performance, the 5.0L TI-VCT V8 gives you up to 410 lb.-ft. of torque and 400 HP to achieve a best-in-class max payload of 3,325 lbs. Engineered with the high-strength compacted graphite iron on the cylinders and upper block identical to the Super Duty 6.7L Power Stroke Turbo Diesel, the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 pumps out 400 lb.-ft. of torque and 325 HP. The last engine in the line up is the 3.3L TI-VCT V6, which delivers responsive performance with 265 lb.-ft. of torque and up to 290 HP. No matter which engine you go with, you'll enjoy access to the 10-speed automatic transmission. This transmission helps you achieve enhanced acceleration at both mid and low ranges of your powerband.
