A destination charge of $1,085 will apply to the prices quoted. In addition to the major option groups, Ford offers many additional options and accessories.

With the Big-3's traditional full-size pickups under siege from Toyota and Nissan, Ford is not a day too early with the new F150. As they say in sports and many other forms of human conflict, the best defense is a good offense. There is no doubt that in the F150, Ford has put forth its "best defense," and in doing so has converted this non-truck guy into a pickup truck devotee.
