Ford F-150
Muscle · Ford
The best-selling vehicle in America for over four decades. Multiple generations of half-ton pickup. Raptor, Lightning, and Tremor variants.
The Ford F-150 has been the best-selling vehicle in America since 1981, with the F-Series broadly being the best-selling truck since 1977. The half-ton F-150 is the volume seller of the F-Series and one of the most consequential vehicles in modern automotive history. The current 14th generation (2021+) continues the lineage with hybrid PowerBoost, EcoBoost V6, and 5.0 V8 powertrain options. The Raptor variant has redefined the high-speed off-road truck since 2010. Fox Racing internal bypass shocks, off-road tires, increased wheelbase, and aggressive aero. The current Raptor R uses a supercharged 5.2 V8 (the Predator engine from the Mustang GT500) making 720 horsepower. The Lightning EV variant (2022+) brings electric powertrain to the F-150 platform. On WhipJury, F-150 submissions are highly active across multiple generations. Raptor variants reliably top voting; lifted F-150s with off-road builds are common; modified Lightning EVs are increasingly visible.

More on the Ford F-150
Rake is the tilt of a car from front to back. Hot rods run it nose-down, 1960s gassers ran it nose-up for traction, and pickups leave the factory with the rear sitting higher so they can carry a load.
The 2027 Ford F-150 makes the 5.0-liter V8 available from the base XL to the top Platinum again, and the King Ranch and Platinum get it back for the first time since 2023. A new 325 hp 3.0-liter EcoBoost becomes the base engine, and a new Raptor 800A trim starts $4,010 cheaper at $74,995.
Park a new full-size pickup next to a 1990s truck and the old one looks like a toy. Hood heights are up about 11 percent since 2000. Fuel economy rules that reward a bigger footprint, buyers treating trucks as family cars, and styling chasing toughness all pushed in the same direction.
Every few months a new obituary gets written for the sedan. Sales are down. Automakers are canceling models. The crossover has won. The four-door is finished. And every time someone writes that obituary, the Toyota Camry sells another 300,000 units, the Honda Accord moves another 200,000, and the Tesla Model 3 quietly becomes one of the best-selling vehicles on the planet. The sedan is not dead. A specific group of automakers decided it was not worth their effort, walked away, and then pointed at falling sales as proof the customer did not want it anymore...
