Rattlers, get rattlin’. Ford is adding a new model to the F-150 lineup for 2023, and it should be quite a crowd-pleaser. The 2023 Ford -150 Rattler joins on as the entry-level option for off-roading, serving up standard four-wheel drive as well as some distinct personality points.

Probably the biggest selling point with the Rattler is its mix of content from the popular FX4 Off-Road package. Not only are you getting standard 4WD, but the 2023 Ford F-150 Rattler also offers up musts like an electronic locking rear differential, skid plates, hill descent control, and a retuned sport suspension.

With the Rattler, you also get a truck that just looks rad(ler). Ford slaps the roof of this truck because it fits in so much style thanks to features like 18-inch dark-painted wheels, blackout grille and bumpers, and a dual exhaust. The Rattler comes with unique graphics — rattlesnake-inspired, of course — and is offered in eight colors including Antimatter Blue and Rapid Red.

On the inside, the 2022 Ford F-150 Rattler builds on its namesake with pseudo-snakeskin-style seating. Onyx upholstery with bronze stitching and accent stitching gives the truck a unique, striking style that should fly (or slither) well with customers.

Ford will push the Rattler as the 4WD entry truck in the 2023 F-150 lineup, which should slot it between the XL and XLT. That’ll likely put its starting price somewhere in the low to mid $30,000 range before fees. Ford’s two off-road-focused F-150 trims start considerably higher. For 2022, the F-150 Tremor starts at $52,235 while the 450-horsepower Raptor tops out at $68,675.
The 2023 Ford F-150 Rattler arrives in the fall, so you can expect more details to drop sometime in the not-too-distant future.
