5 Cool Features In the Refreshed 2024 Ford F-150
The refreshed 2024 Ford F-150 is chock full of cool new kit.
Refreshed and Ready
The 2024 Ford F-150 was recently revealed following many months of speculation and rumors - some of which came true, while others, well, didn't. Regardless, there are a number of notable new features accompanying the launch of the 2024 F-150, each of which figures to help the perennially best-selling pickup retain its crown for the foreseeable future.

Standard Screen
While lesser trim levels of the outgoing 2023 F-150 came equipped with a smaller 8-inch touchscreen, the refreshed 2024 model brings about a big (quite literally) update - all pickups will now come standard with the larger 12-inch screen running SYNC 4. This is huge news for XL and XLT buyers looking to save a few bucks, even if pricing has increased as a result of this - and other - changes.

Pro Access Tailgate
One rumor regarding the 2024 F-150 - the availability of a multi-function tailgate - did come true in the form of the newly optional Pro Access Tailgate. That unit features a swing gate with built-in stops, enabling customers to open it either 37, 70, or 100 degrees. This new feature should prove quite popular with a lot of folks, as it makes accessing cargo in the bed far easier - especially when towing a trailer.

More Capable Tremor
As was the case with the prior-gen F-150, customers who want something more off-road capable but aren't ready to spring for a hardcore Raptor can opt for the middle-ground Tremor. However, the Tremor has received a ton of updates for the new model year, including a new optional modular front bumper that's accessory-capable, a completely unique front clip, and a revised look that better sets it apart from the rest of the lineup.

Enhanced Raptor
The same goes for the range-topping F-150 Raptor, which has received some notable updates along with the 2024 refresh that include the aforementioned modular front bumper, new graphics, updated styling, and - most notably - new Fox dual live-valve shocks with position-sensitive compression control and continuously variable rebound controls that make it even more capable off the pavement.

Improved BlueCruise
Finally, it's worth noting that the 2024 Ford F-150 is set to receive not only an improved Pro Power Onboard system, but also the brand-new BlueCruise 1.3, which debuted on the Mustang Mach-E this past summer. The latest version of the hands-free highway driving assist feature makes it possible for drivers to stay in this mode longer - up to three times longer than version 1.2, in fact - which is a result of data gathered during Ford's Continuous Learning Loop process.
