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. For a full breakdown on the 2023 Ford F-150, check out our test team's Expert Rating below.
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.

Great
8.5
out of 10
We drove the 2023 Ford F-150 on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Performance
8.5/10
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.

Technology
9.5/10
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.

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.
2023 Ford F-150 trim level differences
The Ford 2023 F-150 is offered in six primary trim levels: XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum and Limited. There are also the off-road-oriented Tremor, Raptor and Raptor R models that exist outside the traditional lineup. There are three cab styles — regular, SuperCab (extended) and SuperCrew (crew cab) — and three bed lengths depending on cab style. Along with the many trim levels and cab styles, the F-150 offers six available powertrains. All are paired to a 10-speed automatic transmission with either rear- or four-wheel drive except the Raptor and Raptor R, which are 4WD-only.
Which F-150 trim 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.

2023 Ford F-150 Lariat 4dr SuperCrew 5.5 ft. SB (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 10A)
Just like someone would comment coming from the Toyota world the F150 is like a Spaceship. I initially went from a 2013 Tacoma Baja Ed to the Tundra TRD SR5. The Tacoma had a better package than the Tundra so it felt like a downgrade, then I totally went like 3 steps up with a 2022 F150 Lariat. OMG the technology package is unbelievable, the comfort inside is awesome. The F150 has so … many features, you'll probably never used them all through out your ownership but they are there. The 3.7 ecoboost engine is powerful without breaking the bank for fuel, this is something where Toyota has totally dropped the ball. The space in the Crew Cab is a lot better than the Tacoma or the Tundra Double Cab. The interior design so much safe to use than that on the Tundra. Simply for instance the heated seats button in the Tundra are located way below the AC or radio controls you actually have to be almost look under the dashboard to find them, this is a safety issue since you have to take your eyes off the road in order to either turn them on or off.
For a V6 engine having the same response of a V8 2 litters bigger and being faster it says a lot.
With all the safety features even my insurance went a little down. I couldn't be more happy.

2023 Ford F-150 King Ranch 4dr SuperCrew 4WD 5.5 ft. SB (5.0L 8cyl 10A)
I have owned well over a dozen Ford and Lincoln vehicles including several top trim F150s and never had any issues until this one. At 4500 miles the differential pinion seal was leaking. Got it replaced. At 5200 miles it was leaking again. Got it replaced. Now at 5500 miles it has started leaking again. From the time I picked it up, I would notice a shudder that was noticeable when I … would accelerate just 3-4 mph. That issue has not been resolved. I think the driveshaft is out of balance or the pinion bearing is bad and that destroys the seals. It has totally destroyed my confidence in this vehicle. I can live with the other minor glitches like phone not connecting and navigation slow to start, but the drivetrain issue has marked my end of Ford products. Ford can say goodbye to the probably over a million bucks I’ve spent on Ford vehicles and anymore I might have spent. My advice is to stay away

2023 Ford F-150 Tremor 4dr SuperCrew 4WD SB (5.0L 8cyl 10A)
I’ve owned many cars and trucks over the years, and I’ve always had a preference for Ford. I sold my 2005 F150 XLT to buy my brand new 2023 F150 Tremor 402- high option. By 5k miles I was seeing bugs. The Sync display would freeze, the power windows wouldn’t roll down when remote started, interior plastics would rattle. These things were annoying, but I could live with them. The came the … clunking. It felt light I got rear ended. Coming to a stop, the truck started clunking. I then noticed it would downshift harshly, enough to jolt myself and others in the truck, or sometimes it would downshift too early, or not downshift at all - like total power loss when trying to go uphill or turn. I took it to the dealer, and they said even though they are aware of these defects ( covered in TSB 22-2428), Ford won’t authorize repairs unless they are repeatable - even though I have videos showing these happening multiple times. This truck has 8,400 miles and I HATE driving it. Google the Ford 10R80 issues before you ever think about buying one of these trucks. Ford has NOT fixed this issue, and those with them are stuck living with them and driving a clunky, jerky truck until the transmission eventually fails.
Junk IWE system

2023 Ford F-150 XLT 4dr SuperCrew 6.5 ft. SB (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 10A)
Very disappointed! Bought a new 2023 F-150 XLT in October 2023. The iwe system started acting up at the first bit of cold weather less than a month later. Been in the shop 4 times and it still isn't fixed. They replaced iwe and wheel bearings on one trip and then replaced the iwe again on another trip. The dealer has contacted Ford and they don't have a fix at this time. After doing some … research I have found that this is widespread in XLT and lower packages. I was given a 2023 loaner, and it has the same problem. I have been trying for a buyback but have been denied so far.
