As The Blue Oval works toward simplifying its ICE lineup, the 2023 Ford F-150 has been subject to quite a few changes. The Limited is no longer offered with two-wheel-drive and the Ford 3.5L V6 EcoBoost engine, which were previously standard. Instead, four-wheel-drive is now standard on this trim, as is the Ford 3.5L V6 PowerBoost hybrid.
Additionally, the 2023 F-150 lineup will also gains three new variants for the new model year. This includes the retro-inspired Heritage Edition, the entry level off-road-focused Rattler and the supercharged V8-powered 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R. The F-150 Tremor has also undergone multiple changes, featuring the naturally aspirated Ford 5.0L V8 Coyote engine as standard as opposed to the Ford 3.5L V6 EcoBoost powerplant.

I want fully reclining and massaging seats and heated steering wheel to come on the 2023 Ford Lariat that I just ordered at Scenic ford
Unless this is some kind of secret channel into the Ford production system, you might do well to voice these desires elsewhere.
Where is the Rattler package option under XL on the Ford build and price?
Good question. Has the Rattler slithered away?
Someone give us an answer about the Rattler.
