There are several reasons why the Ford F-150 is among the best-selling platforms ever produced. As the 2023 model year ramps up, the latest F-150 model is in an excellent position to continue its four-decade streak of popularity in North America. The 2023 F-150 is only a few years removed from a major overhaul, so its changes for the current model year are a little more subtle but include a new version of the Raptor line and off-road accessories. Independent online reviews praised the 2023 Ford F-150 for its broad range of engines, incredible towing capacity, advanced technology, and many other innovative features. Follow along with Summit Ford while we take a closer look at the 2023 Ford F-150.
Design
Rugged Inside & Outside
There is a lot that goes into building a truck with the kind of capability offered by the 2023 Ford F-150. It all starts with its high-strength steel frame and military-grade aluminum body. Using aluminum for the truck’s body panels provides strength without adding unnecessary weight.
Interior Highlights
Regardless of what someone uses their 2023 F-150 for, there are features and equipment inside the passenger cabin to support it. An available work space is perfect for facilitating laptop use. The available twin-panel moonroof lets people have a nearly unobstructed 360° view outside of the truck’s cabin. Finally, the rear seat can easily comfortably accommodate passengers or be configured for secure cargo storage.
