Is the 2023 Ford F-150 a good car?

Yes — the 2023 Ford F-150 earns a 4.94/5 user rating and an 8.00/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Technology at 9/10.

Owners consistently praise its powerful performance, smooth ride, and modern features like the large touchscreen and advanced safety tech. The review summary also points to strong long-term satisfaction, with owners describing it as impressive and dependable in everyday use. On the downside, some drivers think pricing is high and that the luxury features may be more than you need.

That lines up with the broader use case: this truck is built for buyers who want serious capability without giving up modern convenience. It works especially well if you value a full-size pickup that can handle work duties and still feel current inside.

The owner feedback also points to a truck people trust for the long haul, with language centered on dependable performance and a trouble-free ownership experience. The expert evaluation reinforces that impression by describing the truck as structurally solid and noting that the brakes feel stout and confidence-inspiring in demanding driving.

Ford also includes a maintenance perk in the ownership experience: the first scheduled maintenance visit is on the house.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about basic durability and more about choosing the right configuration and condition, since this truck can be heavily optioned and used hard.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Ford F-150?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.1% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the truck has towing, hauling, or off-road use in its past. Focus on wear items that can reveal hard use, and pay close attention to how the cabin, suspension, and electronics have held up. If the truck has been optioned heavily, make sure every feature works as intended.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup spans regular, Super Cab, and SuperCrew body styles, with trims ranging from XL to Raptor. The base work-truck setup is more stripped down, while higher trims and packages add more comfort, convenience, and appearance content.
• Powertrain: The truck offers multiple engines, including the twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 in the test truck. That setup delivers strong acceleration and pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission, but the truck lacks a full-time or automatic 4WD mode in the tested configuration.
• Safety package: Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 bundles automatic high-beam headlights, forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear parking sensors, automatic reverse braking, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, lane-centering assist, evasive steering assist, intersection assist for left turns, and speed-sign recognition. Some of these features are package-dependent rather than universal.
• Infotainment: Sync 4 brings a 12-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, over-the-air software updates, and FordPass Connect with a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot. It is easy to use, though response speed and graphics clarity are worth checking on a test drive.
• Fuel efficiency: The test truck returned 17 mpg in combined driving, versus an EPA expectation of 19 mpg.

Which 2023 Ford F-150 trim should I buy?

The 2023 Ford F-150 is offered in 8 trim levels: XL, XLT, XLT Heritage Edition, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, Tremor, Raptor.

Here's the short version:

• XL: This is the work-focused entry point, and it makes sense if you want the lowest-cost path into the F-150 lineup. It gives you the core truck fundamentals without the extra comfort and tech content that push prices up quickly.
• XLT: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it balances price, equipment, and everyday usability. It is also the trim tied to Sync 4 with the 12-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration, and over-the-air updates, which makes it the sweet spot for tech-minded buyers.
• XLT Heritage Edition: This version adds two-tone paint, unique cloth seat inserts, and exclusive interior details. It is the right pick if you want a more distinctive look without jumping all the way to a luxury-oriented trim.
• Lariat: This trim is the better choice if you want more comfort and the option to move up to features like adaptive damping suspension. It suits buyers who spend a lot of time in the truck and want a more polished daily driver.
• King Ranch: This is for buyers who want a more upscale, premium-feeling truck with a stronger emphasis on comfort and presentation. It makes the most sense if you want the F-150 to feel more like a high-end family vehicle.
• Platinum: This trim pushes further into luxury territory and is best if you want a more refined cabin and a more premium ownership experience. It is a good fit if you care about comfort and finish quality as much as capability.
• Tremor: Choose this if you want a more off-road-oriented setup without going all the way to the Raptor. It is the right middle ground for buyers who want trail capability and a tougher personality.
• Raptor: This is the performance-focused choice, and the Raptor R sits at the extreme end with its supercharged V8 and specialized hardware. Buy here only if you want the most aggressive, most expensive version of the lineup.

Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 is the key safety package to look for, since it adds a broad set of driver-assistance features beyond the standard safety equipment.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Ford F-150?

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 32.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 9,655 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.97% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 91.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $41,873, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Ford F-150's resale value?

The current average of $41,873 sits slightly below last year's $43,604.

That softer pricing suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help future resale if you buy at the right number today. If you pay close to the current average, you may have less room for appreciation later, but the truck’s broad appeal should still support demand. Strong equipment, clean history, and desirable trims will matter a lot when it comes time to sell.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.94/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 Ford F-150 safe?

The 2023 Ford F-150 earns high marks from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and five-star ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, coupled with a four-star rollover resistance rating.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 is the main driver-assistance suite, and it includes automatic high-beam headlights, forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear parking sensors, automatic reverse braking, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, lane-centering assist, evasive steering assist, intersection assist for left turns, and speed-sign recognition.

The expert evaluation notes that adaptive cruise control and lane-centering work well overall, and the surround-view camera is especially useful when parking. It also points out that some systems can be a little aggressive or overly cautious in tighter curves, so you should test the driver-assistance behavior on roads similar to your daily commute.

Should I buy a 2023 Ford F-150 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 32.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.1% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.97% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.94/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• This year adds the Raptor R and the XLT Heritage Edition, expanding both performance and style choices.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $45,853, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $41,873 average.
• It adds a multi-functional tailgate and updated BlueCruise.

The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2023 is the smarter buy because prices are softer and inventory is healthy. If you want the newer updates and are willing to pay more, the 2024 is the cleaner upgrade path.
