2024 Ford F-150 Tremor, Raptor R, and Platinum Plus walkthroughs at the 2023 Detroit Auto Show

Ford brought three trims of its refreshed 2024 F-150 to the Detroit Auto Show, including the Tremor, Raptor R and Platinum. The Tremor shows off Ford’s fancy, new Pro Access Tailgate and a new modular bumper with a Ford Performance winch kit on it. Meanwhile, the Raptor R showcases Ford’s 5.2-liter supercharged V8 and new Fox dual-valve shocks that improve off-roading and on-road handling even more. Finally, we turn to the Platinum trim where Ford has every last new feature onboard. The F-150 is rocking a new digital instrument cluster, new head-up display and an improved PowerBoost hybrid powertrain. Of course, the price goes up with all of these changes, too, but the lineup is as strong as ever.

ZAC PALMER: Howdy, guys. Zack Palmer here with Autoblog, and right behind me is the 2024 Ford F-150, specifically in the tremor trim. However, I'm starting back here because this is kind of where the big news is for the F-150 with its refresh. The pro access tailgate. So it opens a couple of ways. One is this new barn door style, like so. You can swing it all the way open. Opens to 100 degrees.

Now it also opens to 37 degrees if you have a trailer back here so you don't smash into it. But you can close it like so and then you can also drop it down traditionally, just like this. So you have a regular flat-sliding floor. And then up in here, we also have a new lock box for the F-150. They've also added some slats into the wheel well humps. So you can throw some 2 by 4s in there and create your own little storage container.

How about we walk around to the front, though, because there's still a lot new with this tremor. So the big refresh for design for the F-150 was definitely right here in the front. You can check out the new grille, the new headlights and all. Also, they've added a modular front bumper. So this is an option for the tremor. You can throw on a Ford performance winch kit, which is a dealer installed accessory.

You get a totally new grille with a nice coast to coast look. It appears much wider than before and you get more orange accents as well. That's the tremor, but how about we hop on over to the even more off road oriented Raptor R next? And here we are at the Raptor. It's not just the Raptor, though. This is the Raptor R. Yes, Ford is continuing with the 5.2L supercharged V8.
