The best-selling vehicle in America continues to lead the way in the full-size truck market with the 2023 Ford F-150. One of the best-selling trims of the popular pickup is the Lariat, and it continues to offer a lot of great features and content for the 2023 outing. This gives truck shoppers and avid truck drivers plenty to look forward to when it comes to picking out a 2023 Ford F-150 Lariat to purchase.
The 2023 model year marks the third year of the fourteenth generation of the long-running nameplate and brings with it an enticing update in the form of four brand-new exterior color options. The four new colors include Area 51 Blue, Avalanche, Azure Gray Metallic Tri-Coat, and Hot Pepper Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat. These join the existing five colors for a total of nine different color options, with the other five being Agate Black, Carbonized Gray, Iconic Silver, Stone Gray, and Oxford White.
Additionally, the 2023 Ford F-150 Lariat comes with multiple custom packages, some of which are standard and others that are trim-exclusive. For instance, the Class IV Trailer Hitch package with a wiring harness, hitch receiver, and Smart Trailer Tow Connector comes standard with the Lariat, along with the Ford Co-Pilot360 2.0 suite. Additional available packages include the FX4 Off-Road Package, the Bed Utility Package, the Max Trailer Tow Package, and Ford BlueCruise with Active Parking Assist. Exclusive to the Lariat are the Lariat Sport Appearance Package and the Lariat Black Appearance Package.

The F-150 Lariat has never been a model that lacks power or performance. Available in two different drivetrain configurations, consisting of either a rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive format, the Lariat's highlight is being able to maximize its potential with a standard 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6. This turbocharged power plant makes 325 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque and is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. You get excellent fuel economy out of this V6, which is rated for up to 20 MPG in the city and 26 MPG combined.
If you're hungry for more power, the Lariat can be configured to make use of three additional powertrains available for the F-150, which include the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, which delivers 400 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque. An intercooled twin-turbo design gives the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 a lot of instantaneous power with practically no turbo lag thanks to its port fuel and direct-injection system. Alternatively, there is the 5.0-liter V8, giving you access to 400 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque. Both the 3.5-liter V6 and the 5.0-liter V8 are also paired with the 10-speed automatic transmission, giving you smooth shifts and maximum use of the F-150 Lariat's revs.
If you're interested in something a little more unique when it comes to the F-150's offerings, the 3.5-liter PowerBoost full hybrid V6 is the way to go. This is a very different kind of powertrain that combines gas and electric propulsion to deliver 430 hp and 570 lb-ft of torque. It's a choice engine for a lot of F-150 owners, thanks to its performance and utility capabilities. The PowerBoost is paired with a specially engineered hybrid electronic 10-speed automatic transmission that manages the power from the electric motor. Additionally, the PowerBoost V6 is rated for an impressive fuel economy of up to 25 MPG in the city and 25 MPG on the highway, making it great not only for utility but for daily driving as well.
If you opt for a four-wheel drive configuration of the F-150 Lariat, you get electronic shift-on-the-fly for easy engagement at any time. You also have multiple drive modes to access in either rear-wheel or four-wheel drive. The 2023 F-150 Lariat includes Normal, ECO, Sport, Tow/Haul, Slippery, and Trail modes for rear-wheel drive models, but you have the addition of Deep Snow/Sand and Mud/Rut modes if you opt for the four-wheel drive configuration.
The capabilities of the 2023 F-150 Lariat are top-of-the-class, as usual, with maximum towing and hauling specs that are the envy of the light-duty pickup segment. The Lariat offers some excellent capabilities right from the start, with a maximum towing capacity of 10,100 lbs from the base 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine. This gives you the ability to tow your favorite vehicles, cargo trailers, and other items. The standard engine also has a payload capacity of 2,465 lbs, which gives you a lot of leeway with what you can store in the two different bed sizes. The 5.5-foot short bed gives you 52.8 cu.ft. of cargo volume, while the 6.5-foot standard bed offers up to 62.3 cu.ft. of cargo volume.
The trailering and payload specs scale up with each powertrain, with the 5.0-liter V8 maxing out at 13,000 lbs worth of towing capacity. The max payload rating for the V8 is an equally impressive 3,235 lbs, so you can haul more than a ton of cargo in the back of the F-150 Lariat. However, the 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 provides you with the best specs when it comes to trailering massive loads and hauling extremely heavy cargo. This engine is rated for 14,000 lbs worth of maximum trailering, while the payload tops out at 3,315 lbs.
The capabilities of the 2023 F-150 Lariat aren't just limited to trailering and hauling. The full-size pickup also comes standard with hill start assist, an available integrated trailer brake controller, and an available electronic locking rear differential, providing greater control in any situation. Standard trailer sway control ensures that the trailer stays stable behind the truck as you tow it from place to place. You also have a power locking tailgate, a remote tailgate release, front tow hooks on four-wheel drive models, four tie-down hooks in the bed, and an available onboard scale.
Standard LED fog lamps and tail lamps can be combined with available LED lighting arrays for the bed, giving you plenty of illumination wherever you go. An optional spray-in or drop-in bedliner can help protect the inside of the bed when moving rough or heavy cargo around. The optional bed extender is also great for hauling, while the available running boards and step bars can help with the accessibility of the truck. You can also take advantage of Pro Power Onboard with up to 7.2 kilowatts of electricity, which is perfect for when you need your vehicle to work as a mobile generator.
Work, utility, performance, and power are all great tools to have, but that doesn't mean they have to come at the expense of comfort and convenience. The 2023 Ford F-150 Lariat has plenty of creature comforts and relaxing features that make the truck feel like a home away from home. With its standard SuperCrew configuration, the F-150 Lariat has a spacious four-door cab with a 40/20/40 split leather bench seat in the front row and a 60/40 split bench in the second row.
You have power driver and front passenger seats with lumbar support, featuring a 10-way driver seat with driver memory, so you can save how you want the seat positioned, and it will return to that setting when you get inside the vehicle. With standard dual-zone electronic automatic climate control, ambient lighting, and intelligent access with push-button start, the Lariat provides both a cozy and tech-rich atmosphere for drivers and passengers alike.
There is a 12-inch digital driver display, giving you quick access to vehicle telemetry and customizable themes. The display works cohesively with the Ford SYNC 4 infotainment suite that comes standard with a 12-inch HD touchscreen and enhanced voice recognition, so you can access your favorite media, text, and even phone messages without taking your hands off the steering wheel. Other standard features like SiriusXM with 360L, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a FordPass Connect 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot means you have all of your connectivity features accessible from within the cabin, either with the touch of a screen or a spoken command. With the available B&O Unleashed Sound System, you can turn your Lariat's cabin into a concert hall or feel as if you're sitting right next to your favorite podcast host during your daily travels.
The added driver assist features from the Ford Co-Pilot360 suite also help add plenty of value to the 2023 F-150 Lariat. Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Post-Collision Braking, and BLIS (blind spot monitoring) with Cross-Traffic Alert are all standard features. They work in conjunction with the AdvanceTrac stability management system and curve control to ensure you stay on the road and in control of the Lariat. A rear-view camera and dynamic hitch assist also come standard, while BlueCruise hands-free driving is available for those who want to push the tech features of their Lariat to the next level.
