Ford F-150 Generations

The Ford F-Series was first introduced in the 1940s and has seen significant changes over the last 70+ years. There have since been fourteen distinct generations of Ford F-Series, each better than the previous. Below we've highlighted some of the most popular generations of Ford F-150, which you can shop for right here at AutoNation USA!

11th Generation F-150 (2004-2008)

2004 was the start of the eleventh generation of the Ford F-150, bringing a significant redesign and an all-new chassis. Improved suspension geometry resulted in a smoother ride, and a new 4WD system was introduced, too. The 11th generation was also the first time every F-150 came with four doors, including standard and SuperCrew cabs.

12th Generation F-150 (2009-2014)

Moving forward to 2009, Ford returned to the standard door count for its standard and SuperCrew cabs, equipping two and four doors, respectively. Like previous generations, this received a sharp new exterior look and interior updates. The 12th generation also marked the first time a Ford F-150 would be offered with a Ford EcoBoost engine, this time a powerful twin-turbo V6. This body style would continue through 2014, and you still see many on the road today.

13th Generation F-150 (2015-2020)

Although extensive, the following generation updates didn't do as much to the exterior looks as it did the composition of the F-150. To help cut weight and increase fuel economy, the exterior bodywork was changed from steel to aluminum, saving nearly 1000lbs over its predecessor. A smaller EcoBoost was introduced, alongside a new 10-speed automatic, all in the name of increased efficiency.

14th Generation F-150 (2021-Present)

One of the most recent updates to the Ford F-150 came in the 2021 model year, adding new powertrain options and dropping the inefficient 6-speed automatic transmissions, opting for the better-equipped 10-speeds as standard. A hybrid-electric called the PowerBoost marked the intro of the first hybrid drivetrain in an F-150, and the F-150 Lightning returned as a fully-electric vehicle, Ford's first mass-produced BEV truck.
