Ford Teases Updated F-150 Ahead of Reveal

Are you ready to experience the power and style of the updated F-150?

Ford Australia has provided a sneak peek of the refreshed F-150 set to be unveiled this week. The pre-update model will also make its way to Australia this year.

Ford Australia has given a glimpse of the updated F-150 ahead of its official launch. The teasers reveal new tail light graphics that add a three-dimensional look to the vehicle’s rear. Additionally, the front of the F-150 has been refreshed with changes to the grille, bumper, and lighting elements.

The right-hand drive MY23 F-150 is expected to arrive in Australia soon, with the first deliveries scheduled in the coming weeks. This update marks the introduction of the F-150 to the Australian market.

While the exterior updates are evident, it remains uncertain if there will be any changes to the interior or mechanical components of the F-150.

The current generation F-150, which was unveiled in 2020, will finally go on sale in Australia during the third quarter of 2023. The pre-update model will continue to be available until 2024, both in Australia and North America.

In Australia, the F-150 will be offered in two trim levels: XLT SWB and Lariat LWB. Both trim levels can be chosen with a short-wheelbase or long-wheelbase option. The F-150 will feature a two-row crew cab configuration.

Unlike its American counterparts, the F-150 in Australia will be powered by a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 petrol engine, known as the EcoBoost, generating 298kW of power and 678Nm of torque.

When it comes to towing capacity, the F-150 can handle up to 4500kg when braked, putting it in line with competitors like the Chevrolet Silverado and Ram 1500.

Ford Australia plans to offer a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty for the F-150. The vehicle will be sold and serviced through Ford Australia’s dealer network.

While Ford Australia is aware of the F-150 Hybrid, Raptor, V8, and all-electric Lightning options, their availability in Australia will depend on the success of the remanufacturing process and demand for the EcoBoost model.
