The legendary F-150 has returned for its most exciting edition yet. With the introduction of the new Rattler trim, some additional exterior colors from the previous year, and a new monstrous 700-horsepower V8, this pickup has drivers talking. In addition to its luxurious interior and available four-wheel drive, here are six things we’re sure you’ll fall in love with when test-driving the 2023 Ford F-150.
1. A 700-Horsepower V8
New for the F-150 this time around is a 5.2-liter V8 engine that comes exclusively for the off-road-ready Raptor R model. With many other impressive engines available for the 2023 edition, including both a 430-horsepower 3.5-liter hybrid engine and a 5.0-liter V8 with 400 horses, it’s clear that the Raptor R’s V8 is a standout with its incredible 700-horsepower output.
2. SYNC Infotainment System
SYNC is an infotainment system found in the 2023 F-150 that delivers hands-free calling, Sirius satellite radio access, and smartphone connectivity, all on an impressive 12-inch touchscreen. You can also personalize it with user profiles and customizable menus, so all your settings are stored and protected when others borrow the vehicle.
3. Onboard Scales
Innovative and convenient, this pickup’s Onboard Scales feature lets you load cargo into the bed of the vehicle to weigh it. You can see how much each load weighs by checking an illuminated image in the taillamps, looking at the SYNC screen in the cabin, or by connecting the FordPass app to the truck and glancing at your phone.
4. Adaptive Cruise Control
If you don’t like having to constantly monitor your speed, you can use the Adaptive Cruise Control feature to set your preferred speed while it then attempts to keep your vehicle distanced from others on the road. It uses both cameras and radar technology to keep the truck centered within its lane while adhering to speed limits with its Speed Limit Recognition software.
5. Pro Power Onboard
For exportable power that you can bring with you everywhere you go, Pro Power Onboard provides 2,000 kW of mobile electricity, so you can plug in everything from power tools to a mini-fridge. There are outlets located in the bed of the vehicle, making it perfect for on-the-go construction jobs or tailgate parties with a TV hooked up.
6. Active Park Assist 2.0
All you have to do to park with the Active Park Assist 2.0 self-parking feature is tell it which side of the road you’d like to park on, at which point it can then pinpoint specific parking spaces. After you approve of a particular spot, the vehicle can then perform a parallel or perpendicular parking job while warning you if there are any objects blocking its path.
