It looks like the current-generation Ford F-150 is still a new machine, but it’s already been on the market for a few years. That means a mid-cycle facelift is on the way, and these new spy images offer our first look at what could be an updated truck for the 2024 model year.
Spotted in public near Ford’s Michigan headquarters, there’s no mistaking this truck for an F-150. The notched side windows and partially visible FX4 are dead giveaways, and it’s too small to be a Super Duty. Camouflage does a great job of hiding the front and rear of the pickup, making it very difficult to spot design changes. The general structure of the headlights looks the same, although we may have slight variations in the design. Ford already offers the F-150 with different grille styles, but the heavy covers suggest minor revisions to the overall size and shape.

It is not uncommon for automakers to use excessive rear camo for minor modifications. That could be the case here, although our spy sources tell us a new multi-functional tailgate could be in the works. Small changes to the rear lights and a new branding on the tailgate are also possible.
Minor modifications are also possible inside the cabin. Our sources believe an updated center console is in development; a very close look through the side window appears to show covers sitting atop the dash, supporting this theory.
Under the skin, there’s no word on the powertrain changes. Currently, the F-150 is available with numerous choices including an entry-level 3.3-liter V6, a 2.7-liter or 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, a 5.0-liter V8, and the 3.5-liter PowerBoost Hybrid V6. There’s also the supercharged 5.2-liter V8 in the F-150 Raptor R, but it’s a very different platform from the normal F-series.
These photos represent our very first sighting of the refurbished truck, so it’s hard to pinpoint an exact timeframe for a start. Our sources believe this is a 2024 model year pickup, which would likely mean a reveal sometime later in 2023.
