Ford isn’t reinventing the wheel with the 2024 F-150, so trims will continue with the XL, STX, XLT, Tremor, Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum. Cab configurations will also stay the same. The two-door regular cab is strictly for the base XL, while the Super Cab (two standard front doors and two rear access doors) is available with the XL, STX, and XLT. The Super Crew (four standard doors) is available for all trims. There are three cargo bed lengths (5.5 feet, 6.5 feet, or 8.0 feet); availability varies by trim and cab configuration.
The most significant change for the 2024 Ford F-150 occurs in the engine bay. The 3.3-liter V6 has been dropped, and the once-optional twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 becomes the base powerplant for the XL, STX, and XLT. This engine provides 325 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of torque, a considerable jump from the 290 horsepower and 265 lb.-ft. of torque of the previous standard engine.
The stout 5.0-liter V8, which makes 400 horsepower and 410 lb.-ft. of torque, is available on the XL, STX, and XLT and standard on the Tremor and Lariat. A twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 making 400 horsepower and 510 lb.-ft. of torque is optional on the XL, Tremor, and Lariat and is included with the King Ranch and Platinum. A hybrid version of the 3.5-liter V6 that makes 430 horsepower and 570 lb.-ft. of torque is available with the XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum.
Rear-wheel drive is standard with the XL, STX, and XLT, while four-wheel drive is optional and included with the other trims. A ten-speed automatic transmission will manage all of these drivetrains. The absolute maximum capacities for the 2024 F-150 go as high as 13,500 pounds for towing and 2,455 pounds for payload (this varies by trim and configuration). Fuel economy ratings will be available closer to the model’s release.
As always, the work-oriented XL will focus on the essentials with fabric upholstery, a 12-inch digital instrument display, a 40/20/40-split folding front seat (for three passengers) with manual controls, vinyl floor covering, LED headlights, heated power side mirrors, a manual tilt-and-telescopic steering column, a Class IV trailer hitch, and 17-inch steel wheels. The sporty SXT upgrades to front bucket seats with a center console, LED fog lights with cornering lamps, sport cloth upholstery, carpeting, rear privacy glass, a rear-window defroster, body-color bumper accents, and 20-inch machine aluminum wheels. The standard equipment for the popular XLT trim will include a 40/20/40-split folding front seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, chrome-finished running boards, rear under-seat storage, Pro Trailer backup/hitch assist, a wrapped steering wheel, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and 18-inch wheels with a chrome-like finish.
An off-road-tuned suspension, a locking rear differential, and multi-terrain driving modes give the Tremor extra capabilities when travel goes beyond the pavement. This rugged F-150 trim will also have heated from bucket seats with a center console, a unique grille and running boards, power-adjustable pedals, proximity keyless entry, push-button start, Pro Power Onboard (2 kW), a power-slide rear window, remote start, remote tailgate release, skid plates, a keyless-entry keypad, front tow hooks, and all-terrain tires on 18-inch alloy wheels. While the Lariat skips the off-road equipment of the Tremor, it gets many of the same comfort and convenience features. In addition, this upscale F-150 also comes with leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, a heated wrapped steering wheel, a ten-way power driver’s seat, a driver’s memory system, a power tilt-and-telescopic steering column, heated power side mirrors with power-folding functionality, adaptive LED projector-style headlights, an onboard 400-watt outlet, chrome-finished running boards, rain-sensing windshield wipers, ambient cabin lighting, and 18-inch wheels with a chrome-like finish and all-terrain tires.
The King Ranch takes the F-150 further up the luxury ladder. It will get a twin-panel moonroof, multi-contour heated and ventilated front bucket seats with a massaging function, King Ranch-themed leather upholstery, a continuously damping suspension, a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated second-row seats, a head-up display, Pro Power Onboard (2 kW), partitioned lockable fold-flat storage, an integrated trailer brake controller, trim-specific exterior accents, and 20-inch wheels with all-terrain tires. As the ultimate F-150, the Platinum is equipped like the King Ranch but trades in the Western-themed motif for more subtle luxury.
Every 2024 F-150 trim will come with Ford Co-Pilot360 2.0. This grouping of driver-assist features includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping support, reverse brake assist, a driver alert monitor, rear parking sensors, and automatic high beams. A surround-view monitor is included with the XLT and higher trims. The Tremor and above get adaptive cruise control and Ford BlueCruise hands-free driving. For 2024, Ford is changing how it offers BlueCruise, including a 90-day trial on specific trim levels. Owners can then activate the system as they wish via an annual or monthly subscription.
The SYNC 4 infotainment system with a 12-inch touchscreen is installed in all 2024 F-150 trims. Connected Navigation, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, SiriusXM satellite radio, and voice command support this multimedia array. The XL, STX, and XLT have a six-speaker audio system (four speakers with the regular cab), while higher trims have an eight-speaker Bang & Olufsen system (14 speakers with the King Ranch). All trims have access to a Wi-Fi hotspot and FordPass Connect services.
