When the 14th-generation Ford F-150 rolled onto the scene back in 2020, it marked the beginning of a new era for one of America’s most iconic trucks. Fast forward to today, and it’s a common sight on our roads, continuing its reign as the champion of the pickup truck world. Our friends at Ford Authority recently had the privilege of spending some quality time with the Ford F-150 King Ranch, capturing its every detail through their lens.
A Regal Coat of Paint
Our journey with the F-150 King Ranch started with its striking exterior. This particular beauty was decked out in Rapid Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat (paint code D4), a color that perfectly complemented its chrome accents. Up front, we couldn’t help but admire the Stone Gray single-bar-style grille, framed by a gleaming chrome surround and adorned with Stone Gray accents – a distinctive feature of the King Ranch trim. The King Ranch front fender badges gracefully led our gaze to the impressive grille.
Chrome, Chrome Everywhere
This King Ranch model was all about chrome, and it didn’t hold back. Chrome bumpers, belt moldings, door handles with body-color straps, tow hooks, and mirror skull caps all made a bold statement, courtesy of the optional King Ranch Chrome Appearance Package. Even the 20-inch wheels, resembling chrome but crafted with precision, wore King Ranch badges, making sure every detail matched the theme.
A Gleaming Rear View
As we circled around the truck, we found that the chrome theme carried through to the rear. A chrome tailgate appliqué greeted us, followed by a chrome rear bumper that exuded elegance. Completing the picture was a chrome single-tip exhaust outlet, adding a touch of sophistication to the rear profile. It was clear that every angle of this Ford F-150 King Ranch was designed to leave a lasting impression.
Looking to the Future
For those itching to get behind the wheel of the latest Ford F-150 King Ranch, the wait won’t be long. The order banks for the 2024 F-150 are set to open on September 13th, 2023. This new model promises a midcycle refresh, bringing with it a host of exciting upgrades. Among these enhancements are new 22-inch wheels, an optional modular front bumper, a redesigned Ford Blue Oval badge, and the introduction of a new trim level known as Lobo. The future looks bright for Ford’s flagship pickup.
