  • The 2023 Ford F-150 is significantly more expensive across the board from last year’s model.
  • Some models we were really looking forward to, like the XL-based Rattler, appear to be sold out (they’re not available through the Build & Price site).
  • Base pricing for the 2023 Ford F-150 XL is now $34,445 (excluding destination).
    • That’s up by $2,925 from the 2022 model’s $31,520 MSRP.

If you go to configure a 2023 Ford F-150 right now, you may be in for a bit of sticker shock.

Of course, it’s no secret that truck prices are going up across the board. Andre and Roman discuss the F-150 in today’s TFLtruck video (below), since the configurator just went live showing you what you can expect to pay for your desired truck. Just to get it out of the way now, the 2023 F-150 Raptor (the V6 model) sets you back $78,570. Want a Raptor R? That will cost you $109,145.

It also appears that you cannot build out the F-150 Rattler, unfortunately. We covered that truck earlier this year and were excited to see it available. The Rattler is based on the XL SuperCrew model with the FX4 package, adding some additional off-road goodies. You also could ostensibly select a wide range of engine options, though it appears none of those are available on the Build & Price site — just the FX4, Tremor and Raptor.

Check out the video below as Andre works his way through the configurator and comes to term with these new prices:

The Ford F-150 continues its reputation as a capable and trustworthy workhorse while offering a wide variety in its model range. Pricing starts at $34,085.

The full-size pickup truck segment is one of the most competitive in the automotive world, and the perennial sales king of the class is the Ford F-150. It’s a best-seller for good reasons. It offers truck buyers just about everything they could want (except a diesel engine), whether you want a humble work truck, an off-road beast, a finely-tailored luxury vehicle, or anything in between.

Some significant upgrades for 2023 include the supercharged V8-powered Raptor R, a Heritage Edition celebrating 75 years of the F-Series, and a Rattler Package offering off-road style and capability at an affordable price point. The chief rivals of the F-150 are the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, and Ram 1500.

The all-electric Ford F-150 Lightning is reviewed separately.

2023 Ford F150 Pricing

The base XL trim starts at $34,085, and the XLT model begins at $39,760. The Lariat trim starts at $56,480, and the King Ranch model starts at $62,005. The upscale Platinum model starts at $63,695, and the luxurious Limited model begins at $83,910.

As for the off-road-ready models, the Tremor starts at $60,110, and the Raptor starts at $75,775.

A destination fee of $1,795 applies to all F-150 models.

The F-150 is priced similarly to its closest rivals, namely the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and Ram 1500.

Driving the 2023 Ford F150

The driving experience of the F-150 can vary greatly depending on the configuration. For example, the XL model with a single cab and the base V6 engine drives differently than the 450-horsepower Raptor.

However, generally speaking, the Ford F-150 delivers a smooth and comfortable ride. There’s no getting around the fact that it’s a big pickup truck, which means it can be tricky to maneuver in tight spaces, but it’s a bit more agile and refined than you might expect for a full-size truck.

The more traditional engine options are the naturally aspirated V6 and V8 engines. There aren’t any surprises with these trusty engines, which is good if you’re looking for familiarity.

We’re partial to the EcoBoost engines, comprising 2.7-liter and 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 options. The 2.7-liter engine prioritizes efficiency, while the 3.5-liter engine makes more power and torque, translating to greater capabilities. There’s also a hybrid turbo V6 available if you’re looking for the best fuel economy.

The F-150 Raptor uses a unique tuning of the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 to make 450 horsepower for stellar off-road performance. A more budget-friendly alternative to the Raptor is the Tremor, which is still an excellent off-roader with the style to match. A new little brother to the off-road F-150 models is the Rattler Package for the XL trim, which adds the 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine, 4-wheel drive (4WD), and various off-road upgrades like an electronic locking rear differential, an off-road suspension, skid plates, and more.

Interior Comfort

The interior of the Ford F-150 is practical and functional, but it’s also comfortable and high-tech. Whether you’re looking for a stripped-down work truck with vinyl seats or an opulent luxury vehicle with massaging leather seats, there’s an F-150 for you. A wide variety in the model range allows you to choose your level of luxury and technology.

The F-150 has three cab options: a regular cab, SuperCab extended cab, or SuperCrew crew cab. The regular cab is only available with the XL and XLT trims, the SuperCab is available up through the Lariat trim, and the King Ranch model and up are SuperCrew-only. The backseats of the SuperCrew models are roomy and comfortable, suitable for family use.

Exterior Styling

Like the interior of the F-150, there’s a ton of visual variety for the exterior of this truck. Depending on the trim, the look can change quite a bit. For example, the off-road-ready Tremor and Raptor models have a more rugged appearance, while the luxurious King Ranch, Platinum, and Limited models are on the fancier side. Meanwhile, the humble XL and XLT models have the dignified look of a work truck.

There are a couple of new option packages for the 2023 model year. A special Heritage Edition celebrates the 75th anniversary of the F-150 with five different two-tone paint options available, unique 20-inch wheels, and a white “75 Years” upper windshield logo. A new Rattler Edition available for the XL trim has “Rattler” box-side decals and fender vent badges, black dual exhaust tips, and 18-inch dark-painted aluminum wheels with all-terrain tires.

As for the size of the F-150, it’s in line with the full-size pickup truck class with dimensions similar to its rivals from GM and Ram.

Favorite Features

1. Class-leading capabilities
Ford claims the title of best-in-class available towing and payload capacities for the F-150. It tows up to 14,000 pounds with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine and carries a payload of up to 3,325 pounds with the 5.0-liter V8.

2. Mechanical variety
The F-150 has six distinct engine options (seven if you count the Raptor tuning as its own engine). This variety helps you find the perfect balance of performance, capability, and efficiency to fit your needs.

3. Luxurious upper trims
The King Ranch, Platinum, and Limited trims of the F-150 will make you think you’ve stepped inside a luxury vehicle. Premium available features in the upper trims include massaging leather seats, the Pro Power Onboard generator, power running boards, a Bang & Olufsen audio system, and much more.

4. Rugged off-road models
Even if you don’t have the budget for a Raptor or Raptor R, there are multiple models in the F-150 range. The Tremor model has 33-inch all-terrain tires and an upgraded suspension, and the new Rattler Package is even more affordable while offering off-road style and capability.

5. BlueCruise hands-free driving
The BlueCruise semi-autonomous driving system allows for hands-free driving in “Blue Zones” mapped by Ford, covering over 130,000 miles in North America. It’s optional on the Tremor, King Ranch, and Platinum trims and standard on Limited.

6. SYNC 4
The user-friendly SYNC 4 infotainment system with an 8-inch screen and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay comes standard on the F-150. It’s upgradeable to a bigger 12-inch screen with navigation, which is optional in the XLT model and standard in the Lariat trim and up.

Engine & Transmission

A wide variety of engines is one of the many strong suits of the Ford F-150. The base engine is a 3.3-liter V6 that’s a good value for its efficiency and affordability. An old-fashioned 5.0-liter V8 is available if you’re looking for reliable horsepower.

There are two turbocharged EcoBoost engines available for the F-150. The more efficient of the two is a 2.7-liter V6, while a bigger 3.5-liter V6 is more performance-oriented, especially in the Raptor.

The hybrid F-150 is powered by a PowerBoost turbocharged V6, which is obviously the most efficient engine available in the F-150, but it retains muscular capabilities.

Finally, the new Raptor R is powered by a supercharged 5.2-liter V8 sourced from the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. It boasts 700 horsepower and 640 lb-ft of torque to battle the Ram 1500 TRX.

It’s worth noting that the Chevy Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, and Ram 1500 are all available with a turbo-diesel engine, but the F-150 is not.

Rear-wheel drive is standard, and 4-wheel drive is optional on most trims of the F-150. Four-wheel drive is standard on the Tremor, Raptor, and Limited trims.

KBB Vehicle Review and Rating Methodology

Our Expert Ratings come from hours of both driving and number crunching to make sure that you choose the best car for you. We comprehensively experience and analyze every new SUV, car, truck, or minivan for sale in the U.S. and compare it to its competitors. When all that dust settles, we have our ratings.

We require new ratings every time an all-new vehicle or a new generation of an existing vehicle comes out. Additionally, we reassess those ratings when a new-generation vehicle receives a mid-cycle refresh — basically, sprucing up a car in the middle of its product cycle (typically, around the 2-3 years mark) with a minor facelift, often with updates to features and technology.

Rather than pulling random numbers out of the air or off some meaningless checklist, KBB’s editors rank a vehicle to where it belongs in its class. Before any car earns its KBB rating, it must prove itself to be better (or worse) than the other cars it’s competing against as it tries to get you to spend your money buying or leasing.

Our editors drive and live with a given vehicle. We ask all the right questions about the interior, the exterior, the engine and powertrain, the ride and handling, the features, the comfort, and of course, about the price. Does it serve the purpose for which it was built? (Whether that purpose is commuting efficiently to and from work in the city, keeping your family safe, making you feel like you’ve made it to the top — or that you’re on your way — or making you feel like you’ve finally found just the right partner for your lifestyle.)

We take each vehicle we test through the mundane — parking, lane-changing, backing up, cargo space and loading — as well as the essential — acceleration, braking, handling, interior quiet and comfort, build quality, materials quality, reliability.
