2023 Ford F-150 XL

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. The XL is the workhorse of the F-150 lineup, skipping the chrome and leather of the Lariat and King Ranch to keep the price down. You get a vinyl floor and a 40/20/40 split bench seat up front, which is easier to clean after muddy jobs than the carpeted cabins in higher trims.
