Overview
The Ford F-150 is a full-size pickup truck that can be configured in a multitude of ways, from a basic work truck to a luxurious toy hauler to an extreme off-road machine. The F-150 is a supremely versatile pickup, which is why it's our favorite light-duty truck available today.
Cost to DriveCost to drive estimates for the 2023 Ford F-150 XL 4dr SuperCab 6.5 ft. SB (3.3L 6cyl 10A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.05 per gallon for regular unleaded in Virginia.
Having undergone a redesign in 2021, the core Ford F-150 lineup sees minimal changes for 2023. The truck continues to offer a wide range of drivetrain options, high towing and payload capabilities, and a comfortable modern interior. One of the F-150's newest, most advanced drivetrains is Ford's PowerBoost hybrid setup, which produces a reasonable amount of power and still gets relatively good fuel economy. On top of that, the system can serve as a backup generator for your house, similar to the all-electric Ford F-150 Lightning.
The biggest news for 2023 is inarguably the new Raptor R. It takes the inherent off-road chops of the Raptor but ditches the turbocharged V6 in favor of the Shelby GT500's monstrously powerful supercharged V8. The blown eight-cylinder produces 700 horsepower and 640 lb-ft of torque — enough to give the F-150 the juice it needs to compete with the Ram 1500 TRX.
While the Raptor R sits at the top of the F-150's off-road hierarchy, a new Rattler package adds capability at the bottom of the lineup. Available for the base XL trim, the Rattler brings the contents of the FX4 off-road package plus a set of knobby all-terrain tires.

What's it like to live with?
We added a Ford F-150 with the hybrid V6 engine to our long-term road test fleet. The F-150 continues to do traditional truck things well, but we want to play around with Pro Power Onboard and get a better sense of the hybrid fuel economy over a year of driving and 20,000 miles. It's a 2021 model, but our coverage applies to the 2023 F-150 as well. Check out our experiences with living with F-150 here.

edmunds TESTED
The 2023 Ford F-150 excels at everything we expect from a modern pickup truck. It's comfortable and relatively fuel-efficient and offers excellent towing and hauling capability. With a wide variety of powertrain, cab and bed configurations, the F-150 is one of the best light-duty pickups around.
How does the F-150 drive? Ford offers a wide range of engines and configurations. We tested a 4WD crew cab in the Platinum trim with the new hybrid powertrain. In Edmunds' testing, it reached 60 mph in 5.7 seconds, which is significantly quicker than any similarly equipped pickup. Alas, the sensation of the gas engine kicking on and off means this powertrain lacks smoothness at low speeds that you'll find in the 5.0-liter V8 and non-hybrid turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engines. The 10-speed automatic provides smooth and quick shifts across all powertrains.
The F-150 has direct and quick steering. That makes the truck feel smaller and more nimble in parking lots plus more stable on the freeway. The brakes are powerful and give you confidence in their stopping power, even when they're recuperating power with the hybrid powertrain. Considering its high towing and payload capabilities, the F-150 is overall a pleasing truck to operate.
Comfort
8/10
How comfortable is the F-150? The F-150 can be a massively comfortable truck depending on the options you choose and the ones you skip. The front seats are supportive and can be equipped with heating, ventilation, three-level lumbar adjustment and even a massaging function. The available Max Recline front seats can recline to give you a nearly flat seat to rest or take a nap, but they lack the side bolstering and overall comfort of the standard seats.
While the F-150 rides pretty comfortably, the Ram's unique coil-spring rear suspension provides a slightly better ride. Road, tire and wind noise is kept to low volumes. Most of the F-150's available engines sound pretty cool and aren't overly loud. The exception is the optional PowerBoost hybrid, which sounds and vibrates like a portable gas generator when it's charging the battery.
The climate control system is effective and powerful, requiring little adjustment to maintain your desired temperature.
Interior
9/10
How’s the interior? Depending on configuration, the F-150 can present a bewildering number of options and controls. Fortunately, the interior layout is intuitive, so you never have to second-guess what you're reaching for. You can adjust most of the truck's big knobs and controls even when you're wearing gloves.
A wide range of seat, steering wheel and pedal adjustments ensure a fit for drivers of all shapes and sizes. The crew cab's spaciousness means you won't be short on room either. Ample exterior visibility is afforded in part by large windows and a scalloped section in the front door that clears a view around the side mirrors. The optional surround-view camera system provides visibility all the way around too.

Save as much as $4,426 with Edmunds Click on the trim you’re interested in to see what Edmunds suggests you should pay to get a good deal. Savings vary by trim; $4,426 refers to estimated savings off of MSRP for the XLT trim.
How’s the tech? The F-150 offers many impressive tech features. The available 12-inch center touchscreen and digital gauge cluster are attractive and easy to use. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration is standard as are some basic advanced driver safety aids. And plenty more features are available as options.
The most impressive bit is Pro Power Onboard, an option that essentially turns the F-150 into a generator. Available in three power output levels depending on powertrain (2.0 kW, 2.4 kW and 7.2 kW), this feature adds power outlets in the bed that transform the tailgate party/camping/construction/off-the-grid experience.
Towing and Storage
8.5/10
How are the towing and storage? The F-150 is now the top light-duty pickup truck when it comes to towing and hauling. With the right equipment and configuration, the F-150 is rated to tow as much as 14,000 pounds. The PowerBoost powertrain is just a little lower, at a maximum of 12,700 pounds. For comparison, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is capable of towing 13,300 pounds, while the Ram 1500 can tow as much as 12,750 pounds.
In terms of the payload capacity, the F-150 now tops out at an incredible 3,325 pounds — that's nearly 1,000 pounds more than the nearest competitor, the Silverado, which checks in at 2,250 pounds. The bed isn't the biggest, and the tailgate doesn't do any origami-style folding, like those on the Ram and GM trucks. But the available power up-and-down feature and tailgate step remain useful.
Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below
Fuel Economy
8.5/10
How’s the fuel economy? EPA-estimated fuel economy is a strong point for the F-150. With rear-wheel drive and the 3.5-liter V6, for example, the F-150 gets an estimated 20 mpg combined for city/highway driving. That's a bit better than a V8-equipped Silverado or Ram. The F-150 hybrid leads the lineup with an excellent 25 mpg combined (RWD) or 23 mpg combined (4WD).
All gas engines are recommended to run 87 octane, and fuel tank sizes range from 23 to 36 gallons. But we will note that in our years of testing, Ford's turbocharged engines have often underperformed relative to the EPA estimates.
Value
8/10
Is the F-150 a good value? This is a solidly built and well-appointed truck that provides luxury touches at the upper trim levels. On top of the F-150's stout standard offerings that line up confidently against competitors, its true value rests in its wide range of configurations and options that allow buyers to tailor their truck to their needs.
Unlike GM trucks, you can opt for the most desirable engine at the base trim level, and unlike Ram trucks, you have more engine, cab and bed options to pick from. The only place the Ford doesn't pull ahead of its GM and Ram competitors is in warranty and ownership perks — it offers similar coverage.
Wildcard
8/10
If you care about bragging rights, the F-150 delivers. It's available with the most torque and quickest acceleration (excluding the niche Ram 1500 TRX), as well as the highest non-diesel fuel economy estimate and greatest towing and payload ratings. You'll have top-tier bragging rights to friends and neighbors. Beyond that, the F-150 is available with some paint colors that are just plain cool, like Leadfoot and Smoked Quartz. The colors do well to highlight the exterior design, with the front grille styled after the one on Ford's Super Duty. Alas, the interior lacks the warmth and presence we enjoy from the Ram, its closest competitor.
Which F-150 does Edmunds recommend?
We think the midtier Lariat trim offers the right balance of highly useful truck features at a reasonable price point. For the money, you get heated and ventilated front seats upholstered in leather, a larger touchscreen, dual-zone climate control, and power-adjustable pedals, making it feel less like a rental or work truck.

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.
2023 Ford F-150 XLT 4dr SuperCab 8 ft. LB (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 10A)
A very brief update to my comments below, which I would not change.
Even with the small 2.7 turbo, towing is effortless; accelerating to 80mph uphill on a mountainous Interstate with 5000 lbs in boat and gear behind me is quick, such that passing a semi doesn’t incur the wrath of left lane drivers behind me. I frequently have a slight vibration, seemingly in the drivetrain, particularly … when not towing and an empty bed, which my two previous almost identical trucks didn’t have. The service manager acknowledged feeling it, and was directed by Ford to drive other new trucks on the lot; he said they also had the vibration, so basically, tough nougies.
On back to back 800 mile days towing, my only complaint is: why does the blind spot warning system shut off when the trailer is connected and this truck no longer comes with those convex mirror insets?
The truck clunks in 4wd when the wheel is at maximum turn; service manager says they all do now.
This is my third leased F-150 in a row; previously I had a 2017 and 2020. I never expected to lease a third one, but at the last moment, my Ford dealer came through in a completely unexpected way. If there is any other company leasing a new vehicle for three years/ 31,500 miles at a total cost of 26% of the MSRP, I sure haven’t seen it.
All three of my F-150s have been very similar; all were SuperCabs, with the 2.7 Ecoboost engine. I tow a 4000 lb boat over 3000 miles a year, locally and back and forth to Florida in the winter. The first was an XL but with 20 inch wheels, the latter two have been XLTs, also with the big wheels. The ‘17 had a six-speed transmission, the last two a ten-speed. I saw no advantage to the greater number of gears in the 2020 edition, no better mileage and not as smooth. This newest one seems better calibrated; no more jerkiness. The most remarkable thing about the new one is that I am getting consistently better mileage; like 2 mpg more on average. I have no idea why given it’s the same engine and I thought the transmission is the same as in my 2020, but the decreased gas consumption has kept repeating itself.
Once again, I didn’t get to order exactly what I wanted, I chose one off the lot and had to take or miss options that I would have wanted or done without. I would have leased a crew cab this time around, but the real out-the-door price dictated another SuperCab. This one, Ike my last, came with a bench seat, which is not so bad as the dog likes to sit between us on long trips and I truly prefer either the old school column shift (or the console shift in my ‘17) over the button and dial nonsense common these days.
The cloth seats are exceptionally comfortable on long trips, and the three position heat feature is greatly appreciated on cold mornings. I now have automatic climate control for the first time on an F-150 and love it compared to the manual version in previous ones. Also love the big center screen and the combination of touch and knob controls; I think Ford strikes a nice balance here.
I wish I could have found a truck with adaptive cruise control; Ford was only building it into higher trim levels at insane sticker prices, and none available on dealer lots and websites I checked. This truck has lane departure warnings in the mirrors for the first time for me; it’s a mixed bag. The pretty large extra convex mirrors built into the side mirrors in my previous trucks were adequate for me and more importantly, the new system is automatically disabled when I attach my trailer. I think the higher trim levels do something about this, but I expect this to be a big negative in my first Florida trip coming up. Sometimes, cheaper and simpler is good enough.
I am still impressed with just how quiet and smooth riding this truck is; a new very top trim level Mazda CX-50 we just bought (primarily for my wife) is noisier and harder riding than this F-150 which says a lot about this pickup or perhaps about the Mazda.
Towing is still a strong suit in this truck, even with the small engine. I was considering getting a mid-sized three row crossover with 5000 lb towing capacity to replace my 2020, (or buying out my lease) but decided that towing at maximum capacity on long trips is not a great idea. Towing with this truck is effortless.
I wish I had the optional bigger fuel tank for the Florida tow, but I believe Ford has remedied this in the revised 2024 F-150. This truck came with a trailer brake controller which I have no use for with my boat.
Ford ran out of parts in 2023 for the auto stop/start feature that I had on my previous two trucks. I didn’t really mind it on the last two but don’t miss not having it on this one and while the EPA city mileage is one mpg less on the window sticker, as I have said, I am getting better gas mileage on this new truck.
I will have to wait and see how this truck does in the snow with the tires that came with it; my 2020 was disappointing with the Goodyears it came with. I had to be towed when I slid off my driveway despite having four-wheel drive to try to extricate myself. It was my fault that I failed to engage the 4x4 before starting up the incline to my house with just light snow on the driveway, but I think better tires would have gotten me out. With a leased vehicle, I am reluctant to spend money on better winter tires in a region that has a good amount of snow, but not tons of it. Next time I will be sure to engage 4x4 when in doubt. I wonder why the truck, and every other pick-up, has a system that, unlike previous Explorers and Expeditions I have owned, does not let me leave it in four-wheel on dry pavement.
One thing I hate about this truck involves the redesign that I guess took place in 2021: why did Ford feel it necessary to move the steering wheel controls to the opposite side of the wheel from the previous versions??? What is the benefit? I was used to having the radio and cruise control features in one place only to find them reversed in this edition. It’s bad enough that I have to adjust to each vehicle I own at the same time, but what possible reason did Ford have to do this, particularly in a vehicle that evidently breeds brand loyalty?
I have to say that I don’t think I am particularly brand loyal, and I visited Chevy, Ram, Nissan, and Toyota dealers before re-upping with Ford. Nobody had a better product, in my opinion, and all had much higher, non-competitive, lease prices.
I love the Ford rewards program, despite knowing nothing about it, or how I earned points. I can report that the three years of leasing of my 2020 F-150 cost me absolutely nothing! For whatever reason, I had enough points to get all required service and NYS inspections at zero cost (primarily oil/filter changes and tire rotations). The dealer in Sarasota even gave me free breakfast while I waited.
The only problems I had with my previous trucks involved the entertainment screen and back-up cameras (on both trucks) but this one has been flawless so far, but it’s early.
One advantage of leasing is that I don’t worry about replacing tires, brakes, or making non-warranty repairs, but I don’t have the ability to share info on long-term durability. Only Ford, for reasons I have no explanation for, has made leasing a pick-up desirable, at a reasonable price.
Once again Edmond’s doesn’t give me the option of selecting my exact trim level. I have an XLT SuperCab 6.5 foot 4x4 with the 2.7 turbo.

The Ram 1500 excels in ride quality. The Ram shattered expectations for pickup truck ride and handling when it debuted in 2019, and its surprisingly supple ride continues to impress today. Though the standard F-150 lacks a coil-spring rear suspension, the truck has improved its ride and handling incrementally over the years. That fact, combined with the F-150's impressive tech, helped the Ford earn Edmunds Top Rated honors. Read Edmunds' long-term road test of the Ram 1500.
The F-150 and Chevy Silverado are longtime truck rivals. The Silverado recently added wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as an option and received a version of the GMC Sierra's multi-function tailgate. However, it lacks a hybrid drivetrain option and generally lags behind the F-150 in the areas of technology, comfort and convenience features.
The GMC Sierra is mechanically identical to the Silverado, but it's positioned as a more luxurious alternative. Though the Sierra offers the same drivetrains and tech features as the Silverado, it has its own unique styling that some truck buyers might find more appealing. Against the F-150, however, the Sierra is a tougher sell.
The Ford F-150 is a full-size pickup available in a broad range of configurations. Whether you're looking for a basic work truck, a fun adventure vehicle, or even a luxurious truck to pull your toy hauler, there's almost certainly an F-150 version to meet your needs.
It offers a huge range of powertrains, too. Notably, there's the hybrid setup that Ford calls PowerBoost. It consists of the optional turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 paired to a hybrid system to produce an impressive combination of strong power and high fuel economy. Last year, Ford also introduced the all-electric F-150, the Lightning.
As for the 2023 F-150, the big change is the addition of a new Rattler package available on the base XL trim. The Rattler comes with four-wheel drive, the contents of the off-road-ready FX4 package, and some knobby all-terrain tires. Think of it as a less expensive Tremor model. As for the rest of the lineup, we expect Ford to introduce just a few incremental improvements or adjust the truck's feature content slightly.
Edmunds says
The F-150 is one of our favorite light-duty pickups. It has a huge range of configurations, plenty of towing and hauling power, and some impressive technology features that make it easier to tow a trailer or provide auxiliary power at a campground. The 2023 F-150 should be worth checking out when it arrives at dealers in the late summer or fall of 2022.
