Exterior and Interior
This particular 2023 Ford F-150 Lariat showcases its four-door body style in a classic and timeless coat of black paint. Black is a wonderful color for pickup trucks and SUVs, as it looks equally good when slathered in a coat of mud or dust as it does when highly polished. Furthermore, the Lariat Black Appearance Package and the 35-inch aftermarket tires on black alloy wheels all contribute to a vehicle that looks suitably potent, no matter where you choose to drive it. The interior of this 2023 Ford F-150 Lariat shows the F-150’s multiple personalities. Here is a workmanlike truck with fantastic off-road capabilities, yet it’s also supremely family-friendly, and includes plenty of luxury features. For example, you’ve got power-adjustable and heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Then, there’s a wireless phone charging pad, a twin-panel moonroof, and Ford’s ProPower on-board. Rear-seat passengers receive their own air vents and charging ports too. There’s even a B&O premium speaker system, a feature once unheard of in pickup trucks. Meanwhile, the driver grips a multifunction steering wheel and monitors the vehicle’s performance and health via a digital instrument cluster.
Engine
Packed beneath the sizable hood of this 2023 Ford F-150 Lariat is a twin-turbocharged 3.5L V6 from Ford’s EcoBoost engine family. The engine features a mild-hybrid system, and provides up to 430hp and 570lb-ft as a result. Power goes to all four wheels through a 10-speed automatic transmission that’s supremely intuitive and never seems to be in the wrong gear. Hence, this is a truck that you’ll actively look forward to driving.
