3 Things We Love About the 2023 Ford F-150
America's favourite pickup truck recently landed in the Motorama Ford showroom dwarfing the rest of our cars in a manner that only an American can.
In addition to bringing the excess of the US, the F-150 brings a tray load of value for us Aussies.
Here's a quick list of things we absolutely love about this American icon.
A Towing Titan
The 2023 Ford F-150 is made for towing. Whether it is a boat, a caravan, a horse float, or a work trailer, you'll barely notice that you're pulling it with the F-150's 298kW/678Nm-producing 3.5L EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 and braked towing capacity rated at 4,500kg.
On top of this, the F-150 is equipped with a full suite of features to maximise the towing experience in every way - and standard across the range to boot.
In addition to the 4.5-tonne rated tow bar, tow hitch & tow ball, it features an integrated trailer brake controller, Pro Trailer Back-up Assist, Dynamic Hitch Assist, Trailer Light Check, Trailer Theft Alert, Trailer Sway Control, and a selectable Tow/Haul driving mode.
Workshop on Wheels
The 2023 F-150 is built to be a workhorse in more ways than just towing. What sets the F-150 apart is its ability to perform as the ideal mobile workshop.
You can access your rear tray load via the integrated tailgate step and even add more bed space by fitting your F-150 with a 6.5-foot style side box option.
Speaking of payload, you've got a tailgate designed as a work surface, with functional tools like dual rulers, clamp pockets, mobile holder, cupholder, tie downs and a utility tray for small parts.
Business on Board
The 2023 F-150 isn't just for ideal when on the tools, it also excels when punching through the spreadsheets - especially in the LARIAT trim.
It stands out as an exceptional mobile office with a large and quiet interior providing a remarkably comfortable workspace.
The LARIAT gear shifter allows for a seamless transition into work mode, with a button that stows away to unveil an armrest table. The LARIAT features a wireless charging pad eliminating the hassle of cables and keeping your smartphone refreshed between business calls.
Hidden storage under the rear seat allows for the safekeeping of valuable items like laptops close yet out of sight, while the LARIAT trim takes it a step further with a partitioned lockable, fold-flat storage compartment.
What we've listed here is really just a fraction of the features packed into the F-150 - it's no wonder that it's America's favourite pickup truck.
If you're looking for your next workhorse, rolling office, or toy hauler, make sure to drop in to Motorama Ford to see the F-150 and test drive it for yourself.
