For years, the Ford F-150 has been the symbol of everything a good pickup should be: it’s muscular, powerful, and a flexible vehicle for both working hard and playing hard. With customization options that can get you anything from a simple work truck to a high-end hauler with a moonroof, there’s truly something for everyone. Here are a few of the things we love most about the 2023 model.
Engine Options That Pack a Punch
From naturally aspirated and twin-turbocharged V6s to a hybrid option, every engine choice the F-150 offers packs a punch. Drivers love the strong acceleration from a standstill, with crisp and clean shifts delivered by the 10-speed automatic transmission. The all-new F-150 Raptor R boasts a notable supercharged V8 sourced from the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, generating a jaw-dropping 700 horsepower that’s sure to satisfy even the most demanding drivers.
A High-Class Truck for a Working-Class Lifestyle
Whether it’s for a job or an outdoor adventure, you’ll want to utilize the F-150’s unbelievable towing capacity. While the base 3.3-liter V-6 engine can tow up to 8200 pounds, opting for the 400-hp twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 will allow you to tow up to a best-in-class 14,000 pounds. Depending on the specific vehicle, you’ll be able to handle anywhere from 1,840 to 3,250 pounds of payload.
But this pickup has a lot more going for it than just grunt. Rev up your worksite or outdoor retreat with the cutting-edge Pro Power Onboard. This innovative feature provides portable power and transforms your truck into a mobile generator, giving you the freedom to power up wherever you go. Opt for the Interior Work Surface to turn the cabin into a portable office: the center console transforms into a flat counter where you can put your laptop.
A Customizable, Comfortable Cabin
The F-150 offers a variety of seat, steering wheel, and pedal adjustments, so you can tailor the interior and create the perfect driving environment. The spaciousness of the crew cab means you won’t feel cramped for space, and the truck’s large windows and scalloped section in the front door provide ample exterior visibility. The intuitive layout design is easy to use, with buttons clearly labeled. Upgrade for lavish features like reclining seats and a massage function.
User-Friendly, Clever Tech
Ford’s highly intuitive SYNC 4 infotainment system is packed with straightforward menus and functions. The graphics on the standard 8-inch touchscreen display are clear and vivid, but upgrading to the optional 12-inch display takes it to the next level. Standard infotainment features include wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth, and multiple USB ports. Also available are features like navigation and an eight- or 18-speaker Bang & Olufsen stereo.
In 2023, the F-150 continues its legacy as a best-in-class pickup. To take one for a spin, come by Holt Motors in Cokato, MN, today.
