Owning one
An estimate, for the Lightning F150 2WD trim: fuel on its EPA figure and a dated national price, upkeep on a per-mile average for the kind of car it is.

To prove the new aluminum F-150 could take a beating, Ford secretly disguised test trucks as the OLD steel-bodied generation and ran them through the brutal Baja 1000.
When this F-150 generation dropped its stepside Flareside bed at the end of 2009, it closed out an era — no major automaker has offered a factory stepside bed since.
This F-150’s 4WD hubs were designed to fail safe — if the vacuum system that unlocks them ever gave out, they defaulted to locked 4WD instead of leaving the driver stranded in two-wheel drive.
This F-150 scored two five-star ratings from NHTSA in crash tests, but a flat "Poor" from the insurance industry's own IIHS frontal test. Same truck, opposite verdicts.

This F-150 was the first American pickup truck fitted with composite headlamps, part of a 1987 facelift aimed at a more aerodynamic front end.
This generation is where the Ford Blue Oval first replaced plain 'FORD' lettering on the grille — a design still used on F-Series trucks today, Raptor aside.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
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.
