If you’ve been shopping for a 2024 Ford F-150 platinum lately, you probably already know Ford offers many different model levels. One type is the super megabase model, which has a vinyl cabin. Another type is the work truck.
The next level is the mid-range trim, which comes with different kinds of cloth inside, among other things. This is the next level up. The Lariat has better leather inside, more features, etc. Then, you can move up to an F-150 Platinum if you want the high-end truck. That’s why I call it the businessman’s truck: it doesn’t get much better than this.
The Platinum trim level is the highest you can get in 2024. It used to be called The Limited, but that is no longer the case, except maybe for a Raptor. If you want to do more off-road stuff, there is no better car than a Platinum.
You only know about this luxury once you step inside, but first, let’s look at the new outside for 2024. For 2024, the front and back ends of the 2024 Ford F-150 Platinum have been changed. We will look at these soon. There is a new grille and LED daytime running lights and headlights.
On the Platinum trim level, and when they had the Limited trim level, there was a badge that said “Platinum” on the hood.
Looking back, you can see that the headlights have a new look. It’s still a 14th-generation 2024 Ford F-150 Platinum that’s getting a refresh, so it’s not a complete redesign, but I must say the update looks promising. Our door steps down with power, and when you press a button, it goes back up.
I also love these heat traps on top of the range hood. This car’s 22-inch wheels and 275/50 tyres are just for Platinum. Every Platinum has four-wheel drive, and the PowerBoost engine is the only one available.
Under the 2024 Ford F-150 Platinum hood is a 3.5L EcoBoost engine with 430 hp and 570 lb-ft of torque. A hybrid battery under this bed gives the engine an extra 47 horsepower and 70 lb-ft of torque, so it’s not just a standard 3.5L V6 EcoBoost engine. It’s not a Superduty, but this truck can pull 12,700 lb.
But the most remarkable thing about this truck is what’s inside when you open it up. The seats look like they belong in a 2024 Ford F-150 Platinum. It looks great. Plus, there are Platinum badges on the seats as well. Regarding the seats, this truck has ones that fold in half and are flat. You can lay flat in the F-150 Platinum if you need to nap at work. That’s cool.
Also, the steering wheel is very nice. It’s wrapped in leather and has the Platinum badge right there. It’s so quiet and cosy. It feels like you’re driving around in a giant Cadillac or something. It feels great to ride on. It has a lot of power. That place is just so lovely to be in.
We’ll go to the back to look at some of the features before coming in. I’ve said this in a gazillion Ford F-150 reviews over the years, but I still don’t know of any other car in the world with more space than a 2024 Ford F-150 Platinum, a Rolls-Royce, or an S-Class Maybach with the rear seats folded down.
We’re in a SuperCrew with all four doors, which has a lot of space and knee room. It doesn’t matter what trim level it is. For a guy who is 6 feet 2 inches tall, this is sitting behind the driver’s seat. That back there is just so nice.
This is amazing. Now, let’s talk about the heated seats in the back of this car. This car also has a panoramic sunroof, 12 volts, power plugs, and USB-C ports.
The seal plate has to say it is Platinum because that’s what it is. The fact that every 14th-generation Ford F-150 has an American flag is also an excellent touch. That’s great. You may have heard this in the beginning: those power-deploying running boards. We are now closing the door. If your key is in your pocket, they go up and down as you walk to the car.
If this were the truck, I would put my feet up to nap, but since the seat is flat, I won’t do that here. Not only do their seats fold down flat, but they also have an excellent massage feature. It’s possible to get a massage while lying in your F-150 Platinum, which is pretty fancy for a pickup truck.
The cluster of instruments has some fantastic pictures. It’s hushed to start because it’s a blend. I’ve already written a few reviews of this 2024 Ford F-150 Platinum version. I had a 2021 Lariat, but let’s go through this quickly.
The glove box contains heated or cooled seats, a heated steering wheel, and a crazy-cool 360-degree backup camera with a transparent screen.
The instruments are all digital, and you can switch between the different drive modes. Change it to “tow haul,” and it will look different. It also gives information about the trailer and other things you might need when pulling.
This 2024 Ford F-150 Platinum has an eco mode, a speed mode for fun driving on the road, and a four-wheel drive mode (4A), which is more like all-wheel drive. Then we can switch to slippery mode, and you can switch to off-road mode, which is cool and works like a Raptor.
The whole screen appears, along with a compass and the state of being off-road. Also, take a look at the badge on the middle seat. The Ford F-150 Platinum 2024 is an excellent touch.
If you look at the VIN, this is the 4502nd F-150 or F-150 Platinum that will be made in 2024. That number is low since the Ford F-150 Platinum has been America’s best-selling car for 40 years, which is why they make so many of them.
Now, let’s show this ability to people who don’t know about it. The place to work in the car. As we already showed, you can lay the seat flat and nap when you finish your work.
It can carry over 2,000 pounds, so you can put many things in the bed. With 430 horsepower and 570 lb-ft of torque, the Platinum is the most powerful pickup truck you can get. It takes 5.3 seconds to go from 0 to 60. Yes, that is very fast for a car.
It has a great head-up monitor that shows the time, temperature, and speed, and I hope that picture comes out on camera. I’ve driven many cars with screens in the front-view mirror, and this is likely one of the best ones. My S-Class and my Audi RS7 both have it.
Yes, there is a lot of power. It can stop and start again because it is a combination. That means it charges the battery every time you hit the brakes. But some people don’t know that.
It takes 73% of the energy to stop. In this high-end pickup, you feel like you’re flying on a cloud. Is it better to listen to music on television or in real life? This has the B&O Bang and Olufsen Unleashed system. I didn’t like it in my Lariat, but they changed it. The sound is better now; the door panels and other parts don’t rattle as much.
How much does an F-150 Platinum cost? The price tag on this one is $84,000. We all know that costs for all cars have gone through the roof, especially since COVID-19. When I sold F-150s from 2013 to 2017, a Platinum model cost around $67,000 to $70,000, if I remember correctly.
The middle-of-the-road 2024 Ford F-150 Platinum trim level was around; you could get one for less than $40,000, but a fully loaded XLT cost just over $40,000. An XLT costs $72,000 right now. So, if you want an F-150 Platinum with everything, you can only choose the colours and other things on the outside.
I wanted to know where this would be since it has been a long since I last sold cars. Prices have gone through the roof, so it should be around $100,000. That’s why I was shocked when it was only $84,000. But it’s a great deal when considering what you get for $84,000.
Even if you don’t tow much or always put a lot of stuff in the bed because, let’s face it, most people use trucks differently than they were meant to be used: as work vehicles. There is much room in the back for people to put their families in. Every feature you can think of, like seats that massage you and all the safety tech features. You can also pull your camper, boat, or anything else you need to draw.
Ford hasn’t made any major changes to the F-150 since 2024. However, you should always check with your local Ford store or the Ford website for the most up-to-date information on any changes or upgrades that might be available.
The Ford F-150 Platinum is a high-end trim level with high-end features and cutting-edge technology. In most cases, it has:
The F-150 Platinum is made to be a luxurious and enjoyable car to drive while still having the usefulness and power of a pickup truck.
People often choose between the Ford F-150 Platinum and King Ranch models based on their preferences and needs.
There are some significant changes between the two trim levels, even though they both offer a lot of luxury and features:
Because it looks and has different features, the King Ranch usually cost much more than the Platinum.
Pickup ownership has changed a lot in the last twenty years. The 2024 Ford F-150 Platinum Platinum is the best if you want the most excellent pickup. There’s not much more I can say about this truck. There is no doubt that the Ford F-150 Platinum is the most luxurious truck that money can buy.
