Ford has announced a new trim level for its popular F-150 called the Rattler. Based on the XL but with equipment from the off-road-focused FX4, the 2023 Ford F-150 Rattler is a price-friendly pickup with a little more spark than the average base model. Ford hopes the F-150 Rattler will attract new customers with its styling, lower starting MSRP, and unique off-road features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur new F-150 Rattler offers aspiring adventurers an off-road option with expressive looks and capability in one package,\u201d said Todd Eckert, Ford truck group marketing manager. \u201cThis truck builds off the F-150 off-road legacy while allowing us to introduce new customers to the right blend of styling and value in the F-150 lineup.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Rattler takes the utility of the XL and merges it with the off-pavement muscle of the FX4. Standard features include an electronic locking rear differential, hill descent control, off-road-tuned shock absorbers, a skid plate, and beefy all-terrain tires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Exterior styling cues include a dual exhaust system, 18-inch aluminum wheels, and rattlesnake-inspired graphics and badging. Color choices for the Rattler are Oxford White, Avalanche, Iconic Silver, Carbonized Gray, Antimatter Blue, Stone Gray, Agate Black, and Rapid Red TriCoat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the inside, the onyx seats have bronze accents and stitching to match the instrument panel trim. The Rattler features a flow-through center console with a column shifter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
