Ford F-150 – the collective page of the best-selling American pickup with V6 and V8 engines, 191 to 504 kW, 3.5 to 6.2 litres displacement, from SuperCrew to Raptor trims, lengths up to 6.2 m
This page gathers the Ford F-150 range, run as a standalone half-ton pickup series since 1975 and traditionally named in the US by cab style (Regular Cab, SuperCab, SuperCrew) and trim level. The register holds everyday trims such as XLT and Lariat alongside the high-performance Raptor, offered from 2010 as a desert-racing pickup with factory-reinforced suspension and Fox shock absorbers, and the electric F-150 Lightning. Names such as Shelby Super Snake and Tuscany FX4 Black Ops point to conversions by specialist coachbuilders that add power or styling on top of the production model.

The register lists 32 versions with 191 to 504 kW from six- and eight-cylinder engines of 3,496 to 6,210 cm³. Unladen weights range from 2,280 to 3,115 kg, gross vehicle weights from 3,500 to 3,850 kg, lengths from 5,588 to 6,194 mm and widths from 1,920 to 2,200 mm.
The F-150 has been the best-selling vehicle in the United States for decades and forms the backbone of both Ford's commercial and lifestyle business; it competes with the Chevrolet Silverado and the Ram 1500, serving as a work tool for trades and agriculture as well as a recreational and status vehicle, with the Raptor models drawing their own following in off-road sport.
When buying used, what counts on the petrol V6 and V8 engines is the condition of turbochargers and intake manifolds on EcoBoost variants, oil consumption and camshaft drive on the V8s, corrosion on the frame and bed, the condition of suspension and shock absorbers, especially on Raptors used hard off-road, and brakes and tow hitch on examples with heavy trailer use. Parts are readily available through Ford's dense dealer network across North America and Europe.
