The Ford F-150 continues to be the best-selling truck in America because no other brand can match its capabilities, technology, and toughness. New variants like the F-150 Lightning help Ford reign supreme among electric trucks. The F-150 also ranks high in terms of resale value, providing years of dependable performance. Other trucks such as the Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, Toyota Tundra, and Nissan Titan are also tough and powerful, but they don't hold a candle to the F-150's overall excellence. At Key Ford of Exeter, we want you to be thrilled with your pickup truck purchase, so we designed the following comparisons to help you decide for yourself which truck to buy.
