If you're looking for a budget-friendly, off-roading pickup, Ford will soon have you covered. It is introducing the 2023 F-150 Rattler, an entry-level, four-wheel drive option designed to bring the adventure of off-roading to the budget-minded.

The Rattler is based on the F-150's base XL trim. It rides on 18-inch all-terrain tires and the Rattler package adds some goodies from the FX4 package as well as some special exterior badging and rattlesnake-inspired graphics.

“Our new F-150 Rattler offers aspiring adventurers an off-road option with expressive looks and capability in one package,” said Todd Eckert, Ford truck group marketing manager. “This truck builds off the F-150 off-road legacy while allowing us to introduce new customers to the right blend of styling and value in the F-150 lineup.”

The Rattler's FX4 content features skid plates, electronic rear-locking differential for enhanced traction, hill descent control for precision throttle and braking on steep descents, and specially tuned off-road shock absorbers for increased stability over tough terrain.    

In terms of looks, the Rattler is equipped with a dual exhaust system, painted 18-inch aluminum wheels and F-150 Rattler badging on the fender vents and rattlesnake-inspired graphics. Eexterior colors include Oxford White, Avalanche, Iconic Silver, Carbonized Gray, Antimatter Blue, Stone Gray, Agate Black and Rapid Red TriCoat.

Inside,  a desert-inspired theme features onyx seats with burnished bronze accents and stitching matched the trim on the instrument panel.

The 2023 F-150 Rattler goes on sale this fall.
