2023 Ford F150 Tremor colors

The 2023 Ford F-150 order guide and price list has been posted by our friends at the F150Gen14.com forum, detailing the standard and optional goods for the whole 2023 F-150 lineup. For those into fine print and combing through columns of option codes, there's a lot to be gleaned. To avoid getting too stuck in all the muddy details, we've highlighted six things to know about the 2023 Ford F-150.

Update: This post has been updated to include Rattler and Heritage Edition pricing.

Raptor R Gets Supercharged 5.2-liter V-8

With its supercharged 5.2-liter V-8, the 700 hp, 640 lb-ft of torque Raptor R is by far the hottest addition to the 2023 Ford F-150 lineup. Although it falls two horsepower short of its nemesis, the supercharged 6.2-liter Ram TRX, Ford has set the precedent of magically bumping horsepower figures after-the-fact to be slightly better than the competition—and we wouldn't be surprised in the slightest to see the R get a slight tuning adjustment that puts it on top of the TRX. Furthermore, the TRX's supercharged V-8 is probably going to sunset just as the Raptor R's 5.2-liter is rising. Common sense says that demand for the Raptor R will outstrip supply.

The 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor starts at $77,570, which includes as standard the 801A equipment group; 800A gets dropped for 2023. [More on that coming up.] Raptor R is considered a package [option code 802A] and tacks on $31,575 for a grand total of $109,145. So according to Ford nomenclature, 800A is gone, 801A is standard, and 802A, the Raptor R, essentially becomes high. Back to that Raptor R price tag—that's the most expensive F-150 ever, with plenty of room to option upward even further. [Think: power tailgate, moonroof, and bed accessories.]

Tremor Gets 5.0-liter V-8

The Ford F-150 Tremor, considered its own trim [and not a package] when applied to the F-150, gains the 5.0-liter V-8 gas engine as standard for 2023, with the 3.5-liter V-6 EcoBoost as optional. Currently, the only Tremor engine is the 3.5-liter EcoBoost. This addition seems to resonate well with the Tremor crowd. Plus, without the intercooler, there may be room for a winch.

Lariat Loses Super Cab

RIP, Lariat SCAB. For 2022, you can get a SCAB [Super Cab, the one with shorty rear clamshell doors] in XL, XLT, and Lariat trims; 2023 drops the Lariat. That leaves the XL and XLT as the only trims to have all three cabs [Regular, Super Cab, and SuperCrew], with all other trims configured exclusively as four-door SuperCrew only.

Colors Added, Colors Deleted

New colors for the 2023 Ford F-150 include Area 51 Blue [from the Bronco and Maverick], Avalanche [from the Ranger special edition], Azure Gray Metallic Tri-Coat, and Hot Pepper Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat. Colors axed for the year include Smoked Quartz Metallic Tinted Clearcoat and Space White Metallic.

New Packages: Rattler and Heritage

The Rattler and Heritage packages join the lineup for the 2023 Ford F-150—and technically, the Raptor R is a package, too. The Rattler, an off-road package priced at $1,495 and reserved for the XL trim, bring off-road goodies [black-tipped dual exhaust, 18-inch dark wheels, all-terrain tires, Rattler logo, halogen fog lights, black interior with bronze color accents, Hill Descent Control, off-road tuned shocks, Rock Crawl mode [from Tremor], and skid plates] to the base trim. The Heritage Edition package, priced at $1,975 and exclusively for the XLT trim, brings unique looks and great style, especially with that two-tone exterior and unique black honeycomb and body-color surround grille.

The Bottom is Less Base

Whether you like it or not, some 2023 Ford F-150s comes with more features as standard. The XL, Tremor, Lariat, and Raptor trims lose equipment groups 100A, 400A, 500A, and 800A, respectively. They essentially get rolled into the next-up equipment group that's the new "base."

Cheers to another year of the F-150!
