Introduced for 2015 (produced November 2014–October 2020) as the first aluminium-intensive vehicle made on a large scale by an American automaker. Ford's Super Duty adopted the F-150 cab for 2017, and a second-generation Raptor returned for 2017, dropping the SVT prefix. A 3.5 EcoBoost redesign for 2017 brought 375 hp (450 hp for the Raptor, with 510 lb⋅ft) and auto stop-start; for 2018 came the 3.3 V6, the 2.7 EcoBoost, a 395 hp 5.0 and the first F-150 diesel, a 250 hp 3.0 Power Stroke V6, all behind the 10-speed 10R80 automatic (the 6R80 six-speed before that). Its successor, the fourteenth generation, is catalogued separately.

The 2021 F-150's redesign changed 92% of its parts -- only the cab, bed structure and tailgate script font carried over from the previous generation.

Ford bet the F-150 on aluminum body panels, the first mass-market American vehicle built that way.

This F-150 generation dropped the manual transmission for the first time ever — and its Flareside bed, retired at the end of 2009, was the last factory stepside pickup bed built, period.

This was the last F-150 you could ever order with a manual transmission or the Flareside bed — both quietly disappeared from the lineup after 2008.

Ford was so unsure buyers would accept the radically redesigned 1997 F-150 that it kept building and selling the old 1996 truck alongside it for months.

Ford brought in Formula 1 legend Jackie Stewart to help tune the suspension on the F-150 SVT Lightning — a three-time world champion dialing in a pickup truck's handling.

The 1987 F-150 redesign made history with something easy to overlook: it was the first full-size American pickup to switch to composite headlights.

In 1986 Ford simplified the F-150's dash by making a full gauge cluster standard on every truck — the tachometer was the only option left, a production shortcut dressed up as an upgrade.

The GMT400 split the twins for good: 1988 was the year "C/K" became Chevrolet-only badging, while GMC's version of the very same truck became the Sierra.

GMC found 10 extra horsepower in the Sierra All Terrain X's 5.3L V8 with nothing more than a performance exhaust, no other changes needed to go from 355 to 365 hp.

This Sierra kept rolling off the line for a full extra year after its replacement arrived - badged "Classic" in 2007 just to tell the two generations apart on dealer lots.

When this GMT900 Sierra launched for 2007, GM kept selling the outgoing truck alongside it, badged "Classic," so buyers could choose old or new side by side on the same lot.

Toyota showed it as the T150 until Ford sued over the likeness to the F-150, and the production truck was renamed Tundra.

A Louisiana owner put over a million miles on his 2007 Tundra in eight years; Toyota gave him a new truck and took his apart to study it.

Toyota's Texas Tundra plant sits on land bought from the state's oldest working cattle ranch, and the 1794 Edition is named for the year that ranch was founded.

Its launch colours had pun names such as "Anti-Establish Mint" and "Freudian Gilt", sent to Lee Iacocca by a friend.
