Ford (F) Introduces Off-Road Variant 2023 F-150 Rattler
Read MoreHide Full Article
Ford Motors (F - Free Report) recently unveiled the 2023 F-150 Rattler, a new off-road variant truck package.
The Rattler will be based on the four-wheel-drive F-150 XL model, including some of the equipment found in the FX4 package like an electronic locking rear differential, hill descent control and shock absorbers tuned for off-roading.
Skid plates shielding the fuel tank, transfer case and front differential are some of the other apparatus. It also comes with 18-inch painted aluminum wheels with all-terrain tire fittings, Rattler badging and dual exhaust. The interior flaunts a desert-inspired theme with onyx and bronze seats and stitching that matches the trim on the instrument panel.
The Rattler will only be available as a SuperCab or SuperCrew and is scheduled for sale in this fall.
Ford is yet to announce the pricing, but the cost is expected to be slightly less than the FX4 package.
Existing F-150 buyers already have a range of choices with eight versions on offer, starting from the bare-bones XL to the desert-conquering Raptor. The latest product in the F-150 lineup adds exciting options to the off-road adventures that the series promises.
The launch comes amid the company issuing recalls over brake and fluid leaks that lead to longer stopping distances. Ford has stated that it is recalling nearly 215,000 pickup trucks and large sports utility vehicles in the United States and Canada. The recall covers the F-150 pickup models from 2016 through 2018, as well as Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs from 2016 and 2017.
