Platinum
It's equipped similarly to the King Ranch but has some unique cosmetic changes and interior trim.

Limited
The most luxurious F-150 adds a few items worth noting, such as:

• Trailer Tow package with Ford's Pro Trailer Backup Assist system
• Power running boards
• Two-panel moonroof
• Power up-and-down rear tailgate with Ford's tailgate step and work surface
• Specialized leather upholstery
• Massaging front seats
• 18-speaker B&O stereo
• Pro Power Onboard (see description below)
• 360-degree camera system (gives you a top-down view of the F-150 and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

Limited models built early in the model year also include the Co-Pilot360 Active 2.0 Prep package, which adds hardware for an automated driving assist system, but the system was not activated upon release. Vehicles built later in the model year have the full suite activated from the factory. A separate subscription is required to keep the hands-free BlueCruise system active.  

Tremor
The off-road-oriented Tremor is only available as a crew cab with the 5.5-foot-bed. It essentially starts with XLT content and adds:

• Standard 4WD
• 18-inch alloy wheels with 33-inch all-terrain tires
• Selectable terrain driving modes
• Uniquely tuned off-roading suspension
• Locking rear differential

Raptor
The off-road-oriented Raptor includes a higher output for the turbocharged 3.5-liter engine, 4WD with low-range gearing and more. It combines Tremor features with Lariat content, plus:

• 17-inch alloy wheels with 35-inch all-terrain tires
• 36-gallon gas tank
• Raptor-specific off-roading suspension with adaptive Fox shock absorbers
• Raptor-specific fender flares and grille
• Six upfitter switches

As you'd probably expect from a full-size pickup, the F-150 is available with all sorts of options. Most of the lower trim levels can be fitted with options that come standard on higher trims. The most notable option is Ford's in-bed power system called Pro Power Onboard. It is available with three power ratings: 2 kW, 2.4 kW and 7.2 kW. The 7.2-kilowatt system is only available with the 3.5-liter hybrid powertrain. The system allows you to charge and use devices from a system of household-style plugs in the bed of the truck, including power tools, tailgating accessories and even small appliances.

Raptor models can take the off-road theming even further with the Raptor 37 Performance package, which adds:

• Beadlock-capable wheels (helpful when airing down the tires for off-roading)
• 37-inch tires
• Retuned shock absorbers
• Recaro sport front seats with unique upholstery
• Special exterior graphics and interior trim
