Interior Design
The 2013 F-150 offers a range of interior updates. The new 4.2-inch
multifunction display and MyFord Touch interfaces gave designers the opportunity
to deliver a more modern center stack and control layout. Several new
environment colors include a Steel Gray interior on Lariat and a Black interior
for King Ranch. Both of these series receive upgraded wood grain appliqués to
enhance premium style.
The aggressive FX Appearance Package now adds Alcantara seat inserts that
amplify its sporty persona.
The Platinum series - synonymous with high-end trucks - offers new choices of
Black or Pecan leather seating.
F-150 continues to offer a wide array of models and packages, allowing buyers to
tailor their Ford pickup to their individual needs and preferences.
