What's new for 2023?
The Ford F-150 gives you a new Rattler trim that will take you a long way off-road in style. It's based on the XLF X4 and it adds new 18-inch wheels, hill descent control, a dual-exhaust system, a linking rear differential and off-road suspension. The Rattler has been positioned within the Ford F-150 lineup to offer a more affordable choice for buyers who want off-road capability but don't want to spend all the money required for a Tremor or a Raptor model.
2023 Ford F-150 trim levels
The Ford F-150 gives buyers in Rockdale and Hearn, TX a total of nine trim levels to choose from:
- XL
- XLT
- Rattler
- Heritage Edition
- Lariat
- Tremor
- King Ranch
- Platinum
- Limited
The 2023 Ford F-150 is available with so many different body styles in bed lengths you can practically custom-design one for yourself. The XLT is a good step up from the basic XL work truck and the Lariat model gives you a good mid-range choice. Buyers in Franklin and College Station TX will get a nice blend of features and affordability.
Engines in the new 2023 Ford F-150
For 2023, the Ford F-150 offers a variety of excellent engine choices. You can get a 3.3-liter V6 with 290 horsepower, a 5.0-liter V8 with 400 horsepower, a twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 with 325 horsepower, a 3.5-liter V6 with 400 horsepower or a torque-rich 3.0-liter diesel V6 with 250 horsepower. The Ford F-150 is offered for the first time with a 400-horsepower hybrid powertrain that's built with a twin-turbo V6 and an electric motor.
Towing and payload capability
