Among full-size pickups, the reliable 2023 Ford F-150 distinguishes itself from others with stunning engine performance, off-road capabilities, and both best-in-class towing and payload strength. Adding to all this are its many impressive interior amenities, from upscale leather seats to productivity features, as well as a wide array of innovative technology inside and out.
Strength and Versatility
The many engine options available for this edition of the F-150 offer performance to suit every need, with the smallest one being a 2.7-liter V6 that delivers 325 horsepower. The most powerful engine in the group is the Raptor trim’s available 5.2-liter supercharged V8, which generates an incredible 700 horses. For both fuel efficiency and muscle, the 430-horsepower 3.5-liter hybrid engine gets an estimated 25 mpg in combined city/highway mileage and is capable of towing up to 12,700 pounds.
However, the most towing strength is offered by the 400-horsepower 3.5-liter V6, with its 14,000-pound maximum capacity. For tackling demanding terrains, there’s an available four-wheel-drive system, as well as Selectable Drive Modes, an on-the-fly feature that optimizes the truck’s torque output and traction with multiple driving modes to choose from.
Comforts and Technology
This pickup’s cabin can accommodate up to six passengers and offers everything you need for comfortable drives, including heated and cooled power-adjustable seats with leather trim, dual-zone climate control, and a relaxing ambient lighting feature. If you need a flat surface to work on while parked, there’s also a fold-out work surface that can be extended outward by pushing the stowable gear shifter out of the way.
As for technology, the vehicle’s SYNC 4 infotainment system puts entertainment options on a 12-inch touchscreen and also provides hands-free calling and navigation functions. When you need to get work done around the truck, Pro Power Onboard serves as a mobile electricity generator for power tools, while Onboard Scales tell you if you’re nearing your payload capacity when loading cargo in the bed.
Safety Monitoring Features
Plenty of impressive safety features are also offered with this pickup, like Lane-Keeping System and Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking. The first feature can warn you if you drift from your lane unintentionally and displays a coffee cup icon if you do it repeatedly, while the other two systems help prevent frontal collisions by letting you know if you need to slow down to avoid another vehicle while automatically braking whenever necessary.
Also helpful, BLIS, or the Blind Spot Information System, can alert you to vehicles hiding in any of the blind spots around the vehicle, while AdvanceTrac and Curve Control help stabilize the truck in slippery conditions or when taking sharp turns.
Ready for both work and play, the 2023 edition of the F-150 provides unparalleled performance and off-road capabilities, as well as a spacious cabin that’s sure to make every journey more comfortable.
