The Ford F-Series is a series of trucks marketed and manufactured past Ford since the 1948 model year. Slotted above the Ford Ranger in the Ford truck model range, the F-Series is marketed as a range of total-sized pickup trucks.^[ane] Alongside the F-150 (introduced in 1975), the F-Serial also includes the Super Duty series (introduced in 1999), which includes the heavier-duty F-250 through F-450 pickups, F-450/F-550 chassis cabs, and F-600/F-650/F-750 Form 6-8 commercial trucks. The most popular version of the model line is the F-150 pickup truck, currently in its 14th generation. From 1953 to 1985, the entry-level F-series pickup was the ½ ton F-100.

The F-Series trucks accept been adult into a wide range of design configurations during their production run. Alongside medium-duty trucks and "Big Job" conventional trucks (the forerunners of the Ford Fifty-series), the model line has been sold as a chassis-cab truck and a panel van (a predecessor of the Ford East-Series). The F-Series has as well served as the ground for multiple full-sized Ford SUVs, including the Ford Bronco, Ford Expedition/Lincoln Navigator, and Ford Circuit. The F-Serial has been marketed past its iii North American brands, as Mercury sold the model line equally the Mercury M-Serial in Canada from 1948 to 1968; Lincoln sold the F-Series during the 2000s every bit the Lincoln Blackwood and the later Lincoln Mark LT.

Since 1977, the F-Serial has remained the best-selling pickup truck line in the United States; information technology has been the highest-selling vehicle overall since 1981.^{[two] [3]} The F-Series is the best-selling vehicle in Canada for over 50 years.^{[4] [five] [6]} Every bit of the 2022 model year, the F-Series generated $41 billion in almanac revenue for Ford.^[7] Past January 2022, the F-Series models have been sold forty million units.^[viii] Currently, Ford manufactures the F-Series in four facilities in the United States.

First generation (1948–1952) [edit]

The first-generation F-Serial pickup (known equally the Ford Bonus-Built) was introduced in 1948 as a replacement for the previous automobile-based pickup line introduced in 1942. The F-Series was sold in 8 different weight ratings, with pickup, panel truck, cab-over engine (COE), conventional truck, and schoolhouse-bus chassis body styles.

2nd generation (1953–1956) [edit]

For the 1953 model twelvemonth, Ford introduced a second generation of the F-Series trucks. Increased dimensions, improved engines, and an updated chassis were features of the 2nd generation. In some other change, the model nomenclature of the F-Series was expanded to three numbers; this remains in utilise in the present day. The one-half-ton F-1 became the F-100 (partially influenced past the North American F-100 Super Sabre);^{[ citation needed ]} the F-2 and F-iii were combined into the iii⁄4 -ton F-250, while the F-iv became the i-ton F-350. Conventional F-Series trucks were F-500 to F-900; COE chassis were renamed C-Series trucks.

While the cabs, doors, radiator support, inner fenders, and hoods are the same from 1953 to 1956 F-100 and F-250s (the fenders varied on F-250, F-350, and F-500, and long boxes were only available on the F-250), in 1956, the cab underwent a major revision. Centered around a wraparound windshield, the cab was given new doors, a redesigned dashboard, and an (optional) panoramic rear window. In line with Ford cars, the 1956 F-Serial offered seat belts every bit an option.

Third generation (1957–1960) [edit]

Introduced in 1957, the third-generation F-series was a significant modernization and redesign. Front fenders became integrated into the body, and the new Styleside bed continued the polish lines to the rear of the pickup.

The cab-over F-Series was discontinued, having been replaced by the tilt-cab C-Series.

In 1959, Ford began in-firm production of 4-wheel bulldoze pickups.

Quaternary generation (1961–1966) [edit]

Ford introduced a dramatically new way of pickup in 1961 with the quaternary-generation F-Series. Longer and lower than its predecessors, these trucks had increased dimensions and new engine and gearbox choices. Additionally, the 1961–1963 models offered an optional unibody design with the cab and bed integrated. The traditional carve up cab/bed was offered concurrently. The unibody proved unpopular, and Ford discontinued the option after the 1963 model year.

In 1965, the F-Serial was given a pregnant midcycle redesign. A completely new platform, including the "Twin I-Beam" front suspension, was introduced, and continued to exist used until 1996 on the F-150 and until 2022 on the F-250/350 4x2. Additionally, the Ranger proper name made its kickoff appearance in 1965 on a Ford pickup; previously, the Ranger denoted a base model of the Edsel, but starting in 1965, information technology was used to denote a loftier-level styling packet for F-Series pickups.^[9]

5th generation (1967–1972) [edit]

1972 F-250 camper special

Introduced in 1967, the fifth-generation F-series pickup was built on the same platform as the 1965 revision of the fourth generation. Dimensions were increased, engine options were expanded, and plusher trim levels became available during the fifth generation's production run.

Pause components from all 1969 F-Series models are completely interchangeable.

Sixth generation (1973–1979) [edit]

The sixth-generation F-series was introduced in 1973. This version of the F-series continued to exist built on the 1965 fourth-generation's revised platform, only with pregnant modernization and refinements, including front end disc brakes, increased cabin dimensions, full double-wall bed construction, and increased utilise of galvanized steel.

The Fe engine series was discontinued in 1976 after a most 20-year run, replaced by the more modern 335 and 385 serial engines.

In 1975, the F-150 was introduced in betwixt the F-100 and the F-250 to avoid sure emission command restrictions. For 1978, square headlights replaced the previous models' round ones on higher trim package models, such as Lariat and Ranger, and in 1979 became standard equipment. Likewise for 1978, the Ford Bronco was redesigned into a variant of the F-serial pickup; 1979 was the concluding year that the 460 engine was bachelor in a half-ton truck.

Seventh generation (1980–1986) [edit]

The seventh-generation F-Series was introduced for 1980, marking the first basis-up redesign of the model line since 1965. Aslope an all-new chassis, the pickup trucks received a completely new body. While distinguished by straighter body lines, the aerodynamics of the exterior were optimized to improve fuel economic system. Sharing their cab structure with F-Serial pickup trucks, medium-duty trucks (F-600 through F-800) underwent their first redesign since 1967.

The powertrain line of this generation underwent multiple revisions through its production. At its launch, the engine line was largely carried over from 1979. While the seven.v L V8 was dropped entirely, a 4.two L V8 was introduced as the smallest V8 engine. For 1982, a three.8 L V6 became the standard engine for the F-100. For 1983, to improve the fuel efficiency of the model line, the M-Series engines (the v.eight 50 351M and 6.half-dozen L 400 V8s) were dropped; the latter was replaced by the render of the vii.v L V8. In response to low demand and poor functioning, the 4.2 L V8 and three.8 L V6 were phased out in 1982 and 1983, respectively. For the F-250 and F-350, a six.nine L diesel fuel V8 (sourced from a partnership with International Harvester) became an pick for 1983. For 1984, an "H.O." version of the 5.viii L V8 was introduced. The 5.0 L V8 was fitted with fuel injection every bit standard equipment for 1986, condign the first such engine in an American-market place pickup truck. The 4.9 L was fuel injected on 1987 models.

In line with the previous generation, the SuperCab and four-door crew cab made their return in 1980 and 1982, respectively. For the first time, a dual-rear-bike version of the F-350 was offered every bit a pickup truck.

For 1982, Ford revised the badging of the model line, replacing the "FORD" hood lettering with the Ford Blue Oval grille keepsake, a design that remains in use on all F-Series trucks today (except the Raptor). The aforementioned yr, the Ranger trims was dropped; the name shifted to the Ford Ranger compact pickup (replacing the Ford Courier). Subsequently thirty years as the smallest F-Series truck, the F-100 was dropped afterward 1983, eliminating model overlap with the F-150 (and payload overlap with the Ranger).

This generation was the final version of the F-Series to offering a three-speed, cavalcade-shifted manual transmission; it is too the 2d-to-concluding vehicle sold in the U.s.a. with this configuration.

Eighth generation (1987–1991) [edit]

Ford F-150 (light-duty blazon)

The 8th-generation F-Series was introduced for 1987 as a major revision of the 1980–1986 generation. While the cab was carried over, many body panels were revised, including a completely new front fascia; the interior too underwent a redesign. The long-running Flareside bed design was retired, with all examples produced with Styleside beds.

Following the 1986 transition of the 5.0 L V8 to fuel injection, the 4.9 L I6 followed suit for 1987, with the v.8 L and 7.5 L engines doing so for 1988; the F-Serial became the starting time American pickup truck model line sold without carbureted engines. The same year, the six.9 50 diesel V8 was increased in size to 7.three Fifty. Post-obit the discontinuation of the iii-speed manual, a five-speed manual became standard equipment (a four-speed remained a special-order option until 1989). For 1989, an E4OD four-speed automatic (overdrive version of the C6 heavy-duty three-speed) was introduced.

Slotted betwixt the F-350 and F-600, the F-Super Duty was introduced in 1987; an ancestor of the current F-450/F-550, the F-Super Duty was designed exclusively for chassis cab applications.

Ninth generation (1992–1997) [edit]

1993 Ford F-150, with dual fuel tanks

The ninth-generation F-Serial was introduced for 1992 as the second redesign of the 1980 F-Series compages. Adapting blueprint elements from the newly introduced Explorer and redesigned East-Series and Ranger, the F-Series received a slightly lower hoodline, rounding the front end fenders, bumper, and grille. Congruent with a redesign of the interior, the F-Series received a commuter-side airbag.

After a half dozen-year hiatus, the FlareSide bed fabricated its return, becoming a submodel of the F-150. To entreatment to younger buyers, the bodywork of the FlareSide bed was modernized, adapting the fenders of a dual rear-bike F-350 to a single rear-wheel chassis. To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the first Ford mill-produced truck (the 1917 Ford Model TT), Ford offered a 75th-anniversary packet on its 1992 F-series, consisting of a stripe package, an silver-colored step bumper, and special 75th-anniversary logos. In response to the Chevrolet 454SS pickup truck, Ford introduced the SVT Lightning, powered past a 240 hp five.viii L V8.^{[ citation needed ]}

For 1993, a turbocharger became available on the 7.iiiL "IDI" diesel. In the middle of the 1994 model year (referred to equally "1994.v"), International replaced the IDI with the new vii.iii 50 T444E turbo diesel, the beginning engine branded equally a Ford PowerStroke. While sharing its predecessor's deportation, the engine was an entirely new design.

For the 1997 model year, the 9th generation was gradually phased out of product; the F-150 was replaced by the 10th-generation F-Serial (meet below), with the F-250 (rebranded as the F-250 Heavy Duty) and F-350 remaining in production. For 1999, the larger F-Series trucks (and the F-Super Duty) were replaced by Ford Super Duty pickups.^{[ citation needed ]}

Tenth generation (1997–2004) [edit]

For the 1997 model yr, Ford fabricated a substantial change to the F-Serial range of trucks, splitting its pickup line into two vehicle families. From the 1970s to the 1990s, pickup trucks had transitioned in usage. Alongside vehicles designed exclusively for work employ, the marketplace segment saw a major increase in demand for dual-purpose vehicles for both piece of work and personal utilise, effectively serving as a second automobile. To further expand its growing market share, Ford sought to develop vehicles for both types of buyers, repackaging the F-150 in a more contemporary blueprint (as a larger version of the Ranger) while retaining the heavier-duty F-250 and F-350 for customers interested in a work-use vehicle.

The tenth-generation F-Series was introduced in January 1996 equally a 1997 model. Initially released solely as the F-150, a higher-GVWR F-250 was released in 1997. The model line was marketed alongside its predecessor, pared downwardly to the F-250HD and F-350; for 1999, these were replaced by the Super Duty trucks.^{[ citation needed ]}

Ford F-150 Harley-Davidson Edition

In the virtually all-encompassing redesign of the F-Serial in 17 years, the chassis received fully independent forepart pause, ending the use of Twin I-Beam front axles. Sharing only the transmissions with its predecessor, the 1997 F-150 received a range of engines new to the F-Series, including a 4.2 L V6 and 4.six Fifty V8; a 5.four 50 V8 was added during 1997. Introduced in the full-sized Crown Victoria/G Marquis/Town Car sedans, the Modular/Triton V8 was the first overhead-camshaft engine to be installed in a full-sized pickup truck.

Distinguished by its rounded exterior, the 10th generation was again offered in standard- and extended-cab (SuperCab) configurations. To better rear-seat access, a rear-hinged third door (curbside) was introduced for the SuperCab; following its popularity, the SuperCab received a fourth door for 1999. For 2001, the F-150 became the first " 1⁄2 -ton" truck offered as a crew cab with full-sized doors; produced with a slightly shortened bed, the F-150 SuperCrew shared the length of a standard-bed SuperCab.^{[ citation needed ]}

The SVT Lightning made its render for 1999, powered by a supercharged version of the 5.4 L V8; over 28,000 were produced from 1999 to 2004. For 2002, Lincoln-Mercury introduced the Lincoln Blackwood, the outset Lincoln pickup. Sharing the front bodywork of the Lincoln Navigator SUV and the aforementioned cab and chassis equally the F-150 SuperCrew, the Blackwood was designed with a model-sectional bed and was sold only in black. Due to very poor sales, the model line was discontinued later on 2002.^{[ citation needed ]}

For 1999, Ford redesigned the F-250 and F-350, introducing them as the get-go generation of the Ford F-Series Super Duty model line. While remaining part of the F-Serial, the Super Duty trucks were designed with a different chassis, powertrain, and trunk design, equally they are adult for heavier-duty piece of work utilise. For 2000, the Super Duty line was expanded to include the medium-duty truck (F-650/F-750) series, designed in a joint venture with Navistar International.^{[ citation needed ]}

Eleventh generation (2004–2008) [edit]

For the 2004 model yr, the F-150 was redesigned on an all-new platform, which has a fully boxed-in frame and introduced rear shocks to mount outside of the frame for decreased bike hop and improved ride quality. This new body manner kept the fully contained front end pause introduced in the last generation, but added vacuum-driven front bike hubs for the four-wheel bulldoze (4WD) versions. The previous generation had total-time connected front axles. The comeback saves fuel and past default goes into a cycle-locked position. Should a failure occur in the vacuum solenoid, organization, or hoses, the wheel hub defaults to a 4WD position to proceed from leaving a driver stranded. Internally, a 3-valve version of the v.iv L V8 was introduced and replaced the previous two-valve version. Externally, the 11th-generation model was different from its predecessor, with sharper-edged styling; a major change was the adoption of the stepped driver's window from the Super Duty trucks. Regardless of cab type, all F-150s were given 4 doors, with the rear doors on the regular cab providing access to behind-the-seat storage. Ford also introduced boosted variants of the F-150. The FX4 Off-Route package available since the 2002 model year became its own trim level. A sportier version of the F-150 became available as STX, replaced by FX2 Sport in 2007.

From 2005 to 2008, Lincoln-Mercury dealers sold this version of the F-150 as the Lincoln Mark LT, replacing the Blackwood.^{[ commendation needed ]}

In late 2007 for the 2008 model year, the Super Duty trucks were given an all-new platform. While using the same bed and motel as before, these are distinguished from their predecessors by an all-new interior and a much larger grille and head lamps. Previously bachelor merely as a chassis-cab model, the F-450 at present was available as a pickup directly from Ford.^[x]

12th generation (2009–2014) [edit]

The twelfth-generation F-150 was introduced for the 2009 model twelvemonth as an update of the Ford full-sized truck platform. Like to its predecessor, these trucks are distinguished by their Super Duty-fashion grilles and head lamps; standard-cab models again have two doors instead of iv. The FlareSide bed was connected until 2010, dropped along with the manual gearbox; outside of United mexican states, the Lincoln Marking LT was replaced by the F-150 Platinum. A new model for 2010 included the SVT Raptor, a dedicated off-road pickup.

In 2010, Ford shifted its electronics from a general electric module base to the computerized and programmable body control module, allowing for fewer parts differences and programmable upgrade options from the dealer or factory. In 2011, Ford reintroduced the 5.0 in the F=Series with its new 5.0 Coyote dual overhead cam TiVVT engine with 360 hp.

As part of a major focus on fuel economy, the entire engine lineup for the F-150 was updated for the 2011 model yr. Along with the new V8 engine, the F-150 gained a new iii.seven 50 base V6 engine, and a powerful twin-turbocharged iii.5 L V6, dubbed EcoBoost by Ford. An automatic transmission became the simply version. Other modifications include the addition of a Nexteer Automotive electrical power steering system on nearly models.^{[ citation needed ]}

A recent study conducted by iSeeCars.com and published on the Ford Motor Visitor website listed the Ford F-250 Super Duty as the longest-lasting vehicle and Trek, Explorer, and F-150 among the top-20 longest-lasting vehicles.^[eleven]

Thirteenth generation (2015–2020) [edit]

The 13th-generation Ford F-Series was introduced for the 2022 model year. Largely previewed by the Ford Atlas concept vehicle at the 2013 Detroit Motorcar Bear witness, the new design marked several all-encompassing changes to the F-Series design. In the involvement of fuel economic system, Ford designers reduced curb weight of the F-150 by near 750 pounds, without physically altering its exterior footprint. To allow for such a massive weight reduction, nearly every body console was switched from steel to aluminum (with the exception of the firewall); the frame itself remains loftier-strength steel.^{[12] [thirteen]} To prove the durability of the aluminum-intensive design, during the development of the 13th-generation F-Series, Ford entered camouflaged prototypes into the Baja thousand endurance race (where the vehicles finished). The 2022 F-150 was the first pickup truck with adaptive cruise control, which uses radar sensors on the forepart of the vehicle to maintain a set following distance from the vehicle ahead of information technology, decreasing speed if necessary.^{[ citation needed ]}

The 3.7 L V6 was dropped, replaced by a 3.v 50 V6 as the standard engine, with a 2.7 L EcoBoost V6 added aslope the iii.5 L EcoBoost V6. While the 6.two Fifty V8 was withdrawn, the v.0 L V8 continued every bit an option, with a 6-speed automatic as the sole manual.^{[ citation needed ]}

For the 2022 model twelvemonth, the 3.5L EcoBoost second gen was debuted along with the new 10-speed 10R80 transmission. The 2.7 50 EcoBoost and 5.0L Coyote remained the aforementioned and both continued to be mated with the 6-speed 6R80 transmission.

For the 2022 model yr, the Ford F-150 underwent a midcycle redesign, beingness revealed at the 2022 New York International Automobile Show.^{[14] [15] [16]} Following the introduction of the 2022 Super Duty model line, the F-Series (F-150 through F-550 and Ford Raptor) are once more manufactured using a common cab (for the first fourth dimension since 1996). For 2018, the F-150 shifted from the long-running three-bar blueprint used on Ford trucks to the two-bar design that debuted on the 2022 Super Duty model line. The powertrain underwent several revisions, as the 3.5 L V6 was replaced by a iii.3 L V6 mated to a vi-speed transmission.^[17] The 2.seven L EcoBoost V6 engine and five.0 L V8 engines were fitted with a 10-speed automatic (from the Raptor) and terminate-start capability (previously only from the ii.7 Fifty EcoBoost).^[xviii] In 2018, a PowerStroke diesel engine was fitted to the F-150 for the kickoff time, as Ford introduced a 250 hp 440 lb-ft of torque 3.0 Fifty turbocharged V6 (from the "Lion" lineup of engines shared by PSA Peugeot Citroën and Jaguar Land Rover).^{[18] [19] [20]}

Condom and driver-assistance features improved and added for the 2022 model yr include Pre-Standoff Assistance with Pedestrian Detection and Adaptive Cruise Command with Stop and Go.^[21]

The coiffure-cab version of the 2022 F-150 reclaimed an IIHS Top Safety Pick rating.^[22]

Fourteenth generation (2021–present) [edit]

The 14th-generation Ford F-Series was introduced for the 2022 model year through a alive presentation streamed over the Net on June 25, 2020.^{[23] [24]} Despite sharing a strong visual resemblance to the 13th generation, the 2022 F-150 underwent a redesign of 92% of its parts, carrying over simply its cab and pickup box structure.^[25]

The powertrain line is largely carried over from the previous generation, with a iii.iii-liter V6, 2.7-liter and iii.5-liter EcoBoost twin-turbo V6s, a 5.0-liter V8, and a 3.0-liter diesel V6.^[26] Dubbed PowerBoost, an optional gasoline-electrical hybrid powertrain was introduced for the first time in a Ford light truck, pairing an electrical motor with the three.5-liter V6.^[26] The six-speed automatic is dropped, with all engines paired to a ten-speed automated.^{[25] [26]} The 5.0-liter V8 receives a new cylinder deactivation system, called Variable Displacement Engine technology, similar to GM's Active Fuel Management and Chrysler'due south Multi-Displacement System.^[27]

Along with outside design changes to enhance aerodynamics, many changes were made to the interior, calculation fold-flat front seats and larger touchscreens (including a digital instrument panel);^[26] as an pick, Agile Drive Aid was offered equally a driver-assist system.

A new F-150 Raptor was announced in Jan 2021, and features a iii.5-liter V6 gasoline engine.^[28]

A fully electric version of the F-150 was unveiled on May 19, 2021: the Ford F-150 Lightning (electric pickup).^{[26] [29]}

Special models [edit]

Throughout its production, variants of the Ford F-Series has been produced to attract buyers. While these variants primarily consist of trim packages, others are high-functioning versions while other variants were designed with diverse means of improving functionality.

Unibody F-Serial (1961–1962) [edit]

For 1961 into role of the 1963 model year, the Ford F-Series was offered with a third body configuration, integrating the Styleside bed with the cab. With the pickup bed stampings welded straight to the cab before both assemblies were mounted to the frame, the design simplified the assembly and pigment process (the configuration was similar to that of the Ford Ranchero). Following a poor marketplace reception, the unibody pickup bed design was withdrawn during the 1963 model year.

Specials (1962–1979) [edit]

From 1961 to 1979, Ford offered several Special selection packages for the F-Series, typically designed for owners with specific uses for their vehicles. For 1961, the Camper Special option package was introduced; designed for owners of slide-in truck campers, the option package featured prewiring for the camper, heavy-duty transmission and engine cooling, and a larger alternator. For 1968, Ford introduced the Contractor's Special, and Farm and Ranch Special, which featured toolboxes and heavier-duty suspension. The Explorer Special was introduced equally a lower-priced variant of the Ranger trim. The Trailer Special was offered with trailer brake controller, heavy-duty radiator, transmission cooler, and tow hitch.

In 1980, the Special option packages were withdrawn as part of the F-Series redesign, while a number of features continued as stand up-alone options; the Explorer continued equally a variant of the Ranger trim through the 1986 model year.

F-150 Nite (1991–1992) [edit]

Sold from 1991 to 1992 on the Ford F-150 XLT Lariat, the Nite special edition was a monochromatic option package, featuring blackness pigment and trim with a multicolor accent stripe. For 1991, it was exclusive to the regular-cab F-150; for 1992, it was available on all bodystyles of the F-150 and introduced on the Ford Bronco.

The Nite edition was available with 2-wheel drive or four-wheel bulldoze with either the v.0L or 5.8L V8; information technology also included a sport suspension and blend wheels on 235/75R15 white-letter tires.

Eddie Bauer (1994–1996) [edit]

For 1994, Ford introduced the Eddie Bauer trim level for the F-150. In a fashion similar to the same trim packages on the Aerostar, Bronco, and Explorer/Bronco Ii, it consisted of outdoors-themed interior trim with two-tone exterior pigment.

SVT Lightning [edit]

Second-generation Ford SVT Lightning

1993–1995 [edit]

Introduced as a 1993 model, the Ford SVT Lightning is a high-performance version of the F-150 that was produced by the Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT). Intended as a competitor for the Chevrolet 454SS, the SVT Lightning was derived from the F-150; to improve its handling, extensive modifications were made to the front end and rear intermission and frame. Powered by a 240 hp version of the 5.8L V8, the Lightning used a heavy-duty 4-speed automatic transmission from the F-350 (normally paired with the 7.5L V8 or 7.3L diesel V8). While slower in acceleration than the GMC Syclone, the Lightning retained nearly all of the towing and payload capacity of a standard Ford F-150. Produced from 1993 to 1995, the beginning-generation SVT Lightning was withdrawn as Ford readied the 1997 Ford F-150 for auction.

1999–2004 [edit]

After a iii-year hiatus, Ford released a 2nd generation of the SVT Lightning for the 1999 model year. In line with its 1993–1995 predecessor, the second-generation Lightning was based on the F-150 with a number of interruption modifications; in a design change, all examples were produced with a FlareSide bed. In place of a model-specific engine, the 2d-generation was powered by a supercharged version of the 5.4L V8 from the F-150, producing 360 hp (increased to 380 hp in 2001).^[xxx] As before, the college-output engine was paired with a heavier-duty transmission from the F-350 pickup.

For the 2004 redesign of the Ford F-150, the SVT Lightning was not included, leaving 2004 every bit the terminal year for the model line. While of an entirely dissimilar design focus from the SVT Lightning, the SVT/Ford Raptor is the succeeding generation of loftier-performance Ford F-Series pickup trucks.

Harley-Davidson Edition (2000–2011) [edit]

From 2000 to 2011, the Harley-Davidson Edition was an option package available on the F-150. Primarily an appearance package featuring monochromatic black trim, from 2002 to 2003, the edition included a slightly detuned version of the supercharged 5.4L V8 engine from the SVT Lightning.
