It features distinctive exterior elements, including bold black and smoked metal accents, 20-inch wheels, and ‘Platinum’ branded accents. The interior boasts a black onyx luxury trim, plush multi-adjustable front seats with multi-massage functionality, and an innovative fold-flat sleeping mode for ultimate comfort during breaks.
“We are thrilled to bring the refreshed F-150, including the new Platinum series, to our Australian customers,” Ford Australia Marketing Director Ambrose Henderson said.
“For supreme cross-country touring ability while towing or hauling – the F-150 is without peer.”
The F-150 XLT also receives a slew of improvements, including LED exterior lighting and larger 12-inch infotainment and driver instrument displays as standard. The updated F-150 continues to be powered by the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine, producing 298kW @ 6000rpm and 678Nm @ 3100rpm for an effortless 4500kg maximum braked towing capacity.
The updated F-150 will be available in both Short Wheelbase (SWB) and Long Wheelbase (LWB) options, with price parity between the two. This gives customers the freedom to choose the tray size that best suits their hauling needs without incurring additional costs.
The manufacturers list price (MLP):
- XLT: $114,950
- Lariat: $143,950
- Platinum: $163,950
“We’ve listened to our customers that have been asking for a full-size truck that offers an elevated, more luxurious experience, and the F-150 Platinum does exactly that,” Henderson added. “Who doesn’t love massage seats on a long road trip?!”
