2023 Ford F-150 Platinum

The 2023 F-150 is America's best-selling pickup, offered in configurations from work-ready XL to luxury King Ranch and high-performance Raptor. It competes head-on with the Ram 1500, Chevrolet Silverado, and GMC Sierra, each with their own strengths in towing and tech. The F-150 drives with a composed, planted feel, and the Raptor's off-road prowess is unmatched among half-ton trucks. Ride comfort is generally smooth for a full-size truck, though the Raptor's firm suspension is the price of its off-road capability. Cabin space is generous, with a roomy crew cab and thoughtful storage like the fold-flat work surface and under-seat bins. Stepping up from the Lariat to the Platinum adds genuine wood trim, multicontour leather seats with Active Motion, and power-deployable running boards for a noticeably plusher cabin. This Platinum has the 5.0L V8 with the ten-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, giving it a smooth, responsive feel whether you're towing or daily driving. The 700A package includes Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 with Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Centering, but BlueCruise hands-free driving requires the 701A upgrade.
