Ford Celebrates 75 Years of F-Series Trucks

To celebrate 75 years of F-Series trucks, Ford introduces the 2023 F-150 Heritage Edition – a modern take on the timeless 1970s and ’80s two-tone exterior paint offerings featuring the classic style combined with the durability, capability, and technology expected from Ford trucks.

Available on XLT series F-150 trucks, the design represents a fresh interpretation of the classic A-B-A exterior paint pattern, with an A color encompassing roof and pillars, a B color for the midsection, then A repeating on bumpers, lower door and lower body. 

The XLT designation on the Ford F-Series trucks means "extra luxurious truck," and dates back to the 1970s. There are a few additional standard features offered on the XLT trim. 

The 2021 F-150 introduced an all-new 12-inch center screen – standard on XLT high series and above – that allows customers to split the screen and control multiple functions simultaneously, including navigation, music or truck features. An 8-inch touch screen, standard on XL and XLT standard and mid-series trucks, means every customer gets touch screen functionality and better rearview camera vision. Both screens feature access to the new digital owner’s manual, which can help all customers find the information they need more easily, including how-to videos for additional explanation. Additionally, a new eight-speaker B&O Sound System by Bang & Olufsen is available starting on F-150 XLT.

Interior offerings in slate gray and black complement the expressive exteriors. Distinct seat trim covers featuring unique inserts, plus embossing on the console lid further enhance the uniqueness of the Heritage design. A white “75 Years” logo appears in the upper center windshield and is included in the center screen startup animation and on the center console.

Five color options are available:

• Race Red midsection, with upper and lower Carbonized Gray
• Atlas Blue midsection, with upper and lower Agate Black
• Antimatter Blue midsection, with upper and lower Carbonized Gray
• Avalanche midsection, with upper and lower Agate Black
• Area 51 midsection, with upper and lower Agate Black

Pricing will be available when order banks for the 2023 F-150 Heritage Edition open mid-July, with production starting this fall.
