The North American International Auto Show's – or Detroit Auto Show's 2023 edition is just around the corner, as the event has recently moved to an autumn slot. This year, it will occur between September 13 and 24, with many automakers in attendance.
Of course, the big Detroit Three won't miss the opportunity to showcase their vehicles to the buying public, and everyone will present almost everything – from pickups to high-performance coupes. Even Tesla is making a comeback after a prolonged absence, joining the multiple brands that will offer vehicle tests and rides at the Huntington Place Riverfront Convention Center and on the streets of the Detroit Grand Prix, plus indoor off-road and EV test tracks.
Among the most significant novelties expected to premiere at the 2023 NAIAS is also Ford's refresh for the 2024 model year of the beloved F-150 full-size pickup truck. The Blue Oval company is allegedly transferring the 'Lobo' designation that's been in use for years in Mexico to the United States. Still, they are also preparing a new hybrid variant in the lineup and several design tweaks inside and out.
Speaking of the latter, the Ford F-150 has quickly become a darling of the rumor mill – both in terms of spied prototypes as well as digital projects stemming from the imaginative realm of virtual car content creators. And it's only logical since it carries the brunt of sales for the Blue Oval and has become a staple of the automotive industry over the past decades.
Among the parallel universes of pixel masters, the good folks over at the AutoYa info channel on YouTube stand out in any crowd because they combine all the information available across the rumor mill with their CGI designs. Naturally, the redesigned 2024 Ford F-150 has been a perpetual source of virtual projects, and they digitally showcased the unofficial looks of the facelifted full-size pickup truck on many occasions.
However, it's never enough, some might say. As such, the latest attempt at revealing the hypothetical looks of the 2024 Ford F-150 – based on everything known about the spied prototypes – is a bit like a recap of everything done before. And they also brought to CGI life some of the most popular trims for this ensemble (unofficial) presentation – XLT, King Ranch, Platinum, and the mighty Raptor R.
In the video featured below, they get to shine together as the host describes the potential changes brought by the mid-cycle refresh – including the rumored switch to a couple of different front treatments for the LED lights of the Lariat, Limited, King Ranch, Platinum, Raptor as opposed to the ones on the XL, XLT, Tremor, or Heritage Edition. Additionally, the resident pixel master also showcased some potential color options for each of the four trim stars (XLT, King Ranch, Platinum, Raptor R), along with an old versus new CGI comparison reel.
