2024 Ford F150 Exterior

On the outside, the 2024 F150 maintains the proven recipe for its success with an exterior that is aesthetically appealing and functional. At the front, the F150 projects an aggressive and commanding stance with a broad grille that is accentuated by the artistic daylight running lights at the edges.

The wheels come in different sizes and designs depending on the trim. The entry level XL trim comes with steel wheels that are more for practicality and less on aesthetics. The mid trims – STX, XLT- offer good looking alloy wheels of varying sizes. In the other trims – the Tremor offers dark matte finished alloy wheels and the Raptor offers cast iron wheels that are hardened for the extreme off-road.

Higher trims come with the Pro-Access Tailgate which is designed to put you up close to the bed so retrieving items is much easier. Even when hooked to a trailer, the driver-side approach swing-out door allows for easy access to the bed
