About the 2013 Ford F-150 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

Original leather armrest was worn through to the foam after 11 years. Vaz confirmed Lariat trim and Black leather color, sent a clean used OEM unit. Drop-in install in about 30 minutes. Interior looks freshened up like a new truck inside. Worth every penny over a dealer quote.

Wanted to replace the King Ranch tan leather armrest, sun-damaged from California sun. Vaz had a King Ranch-specific replacement with the embossed logo. Color match is excellent, the cup holders and power outlet all work correctly. Honest documentation of minor wear.
