Best F150 Yet
After riding in a friends new f150 (a freshly converted Chevy man), I finally decided to trade in my beloved 2017 F150, to purchase a new 2023 F150 lariat crew cab 5.5 bed with the 3.5L ecoboost engine and 3.55 gears (Edmunds does not offer this configuration in the drop down). I absolutely love the truck, it rides smoother and quieter than my 2017, plus has more power (it is fast). I tow a 19 foot fiberglass boat (approximately 5,000 lbs. with trailer) and with a bed full of gear and supplies for a long weekend trip, my old truck would sag and sometimes hit the bump stops over rough roads. The 2023 with Max Trailer Tow package has no issues with the load. It has more than enough power on the highway, never seems to struggle. Towing is far more controlled and relaxed with copilot assist 2.0 which keeps the truck in my lane and regulates speed based on traffic ahead. Another great feature is you can input parameters custom to your trailer which calibrate the blind spot monitors to account for the trailer length. MGP while empty is about the same, average 19 MPG, better on the hwy. It does get thirsty while towing, like most trucks. After about 5,000 miles, I have had zero issues, and besides the high cost of purchase could not be happier. I do have two critiques. I opted for the standard side mirrors instead of the tow mirrors. I find the tow mirrors to be really ugly (too big) but the standard mirrors are rather small. They were better on the 2017. The second thing I don't love is drive mode selection. The 2017 had a button on the side of the shifter that selected tow haul mode instantly. The 2023 requires turning a dial on the dash to scroll through 5 or 6 options to get tow haul. Not a big deal, but I preferred the button. I still think this is the best 1/2 ton truck on the market considering power, comfort, tech, fuel economy, and quality. Plus the aluminum body does not rust (zero corrosion on the 2017 after 7 harsh Wisconsin winters).

Big fan of the mid-life cycle upgrades
I've owned a '21, '23 and now a '24 Raptor and my '24 is my favorite. Head-up display is certainly no game-changer but it is NICE and I really appreciate having it (was not available until MY24). The all black wheel flares is a great change over the darker grayish type they used previously and the front end takes on an even more aggressive stance. I also like the chnage to the Raptor decals on both the fenders and hood. Add in the REDUCED costs, and the fact you CAN find these at MSRP (now more than ever for the Gen 3), this is a good time to buy one if you've been waiting to pull the buy trigger. I am very happy w/ this Raptor.

Terrible Truck & Terrible Service
F150 2023 STX 4x4. Transmission problem at 25k miles. Called several dealers around, they say need 7-10 days diagnosis, one service man told me a long wait list. I guess a common problem. and no loaner car!! Don’t waste your money, mood, and time on Fixed Or Repair Everyday (FORD)!! Terrible Experience!
Ford Truck
I’m a third generation Ford truck owner and this is the 4th Ford truck I’ve owned. These trucks are reliable and hardworking just like me. These new trucks are not only tough but they are comfortable and so technically advanced. With every truck I’ve bought I’ve been pleasantly surprised with how well thought out these trucks are being built. Great job FORD!
