Description
About the 2013 Ford F150 Armrest
The 2013 Ford F-150 center console armrest is a comfort and storage component of the truck’s interior that doubles as the lid for the center console storage compartment. Material and feature set vary significantly by trim level, from a basic hard plastic lid on the work-spec XL trim to a leather-wrapped armrest with integrated cup holders, deep storage, 12V power outlets, and USB ports on Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, and Limited trims. The Raptor SVT uses an FX-series style armrest with off-road appropriate materials and durability features.
Why 2013 F-150 Owners Replace the Armrest
Common 2013 F-150 armrest replacement triggers include:
- Worn or torn upholstery: Leather or vinyl wear from years of arm contact, especially the driver-side edge
- Cracked plastic: Hinge or shell cracks from heavy use or accidental impact
- Failed hinges: Hinge mechanism fails, lid no longer holds open or closes properly
- Sun-damaged leather: UV exposure causes leather to crack, fade, or peel
- Stains or odor damage: Coffee spills, food contamination, or smoke odor
- Upgrading from base trim: Going from plastic XL armrest to leather Lariat-style for a custom interior refresh
- Replacement after vandalism or theft: Center console damage during break-in
- Failed power outlets: Internal 12V or USB ports fail electrically

Match the trim level of your specific 2013 F-150. The armrest material, color, and features vary significantly by trim: XL has hard plastic with basic storage; XLT has padded vinyl with cup holders; Lariat has leather-wrapped with soft-close hinge and 12V outlet; King Ranch has premium tan leather with embossed logo; Platinum and Limited have top-trim leather with full power outlet/USB set. Tell us your trim and original color when ordering.
Yes. The center console base mounting is consistent across all 2013 F-150 trims, so a Lariat leather armrest physically installs on an XL truck. This is a popular interior refresh upgrade. The trade-off: the upgrade armrest's color and stitching may not perfectly match your existing seats and door panels if those remain in the base XL trim. For best visual consistency, plan a coordinated interior refresh.
No. The 2015+ F-150 (P552 chassis, 13th generation) uses a completely different center console architecture from the 2009 to 2014 F-150 (P415/P417 chassis, 12th generation). The 2013 armrest is not interchangeable with the 2015+ trucks.
Hinge failure (lid no longer holds open or closes properly), torn upholstery (leather or vinyl wear on the driver-side edge from years of arm contact), sun-damaged leather (UV exposure causing crack or fade, especially in trucks parked outside long-term), and failed power outlets (12V or USB ports failing electrically). All four are common on high-mileage trucks past 100,000 miles.
Yes. The integrated cup holders on XLT and higher trims are tested for proper sizing and stability before shipping. The cup holder design typically accommodates standard 12 oz to 32 oz beverage containers. On Lariat and higher trims, the cup holders include rubber inserts that grip containers; these inserts are tested for condition before payment.
Yes. The 12V power outlet (typically present on XLT and higher trims) is electrically tested for continuity and proper voltage delivery before shipping. USB ports (Lariat and higher) are tested for proper data and charging function. Where any outlet fails testing, we disclose that condition before payment or refurbish the outlet. Outlets are simple components and most operate normally on used armrests.
Physically yes, but the appearance will not match. King Ranch trim uses tan leather with embossed branding distinctive to the trim. Platinum trim uses different premium leather with contrast stitching. Cross-trim installation produces an obviously mismatched interior. For best results, match the donor armrest to your existing trim.
Yes for most owners. The armrest installation requires basic hand tools (Phillips screwdriver, trim removal tool, basic sockets). The existing armrest typically removes via 2 to 4 bolts and a wiring connector (for power outlet trims). Installation takes 30 to 60 minutes for most DIY installers. Detailed installation guides are widely available in the F-150 community.

Got a Lariat black leather armrest for a 2013 F-150 Lariat replacement after the original developed driver-side wear. Trim and color matched up front, hinge integrity tested, 12V outlet verified operational. Cosmetic condition documented as light wear on the driver-side edge (significantly better than my original). Drop-in replacement.
Lisa F. –
Sourced an XLT vinyl armrest as an upgrade for a 2011 F-150 XL (planning a basic interior refresh). Trim cross-compatibility confirmed (XLT armrest mounts on XL chassis base), color matched. Honest pre-purchase information about the color match between XLT armrest and XL seats not being perfect. Fair price for the upgrade.
