The 5-year full picture
"The test drive is designed to make you forget the math." A 2025 Ford F-150 at $36,000 sticker costs $93,720 over 5 years. The sticker is the beginning of the number — not the number.
The F-150 has been the best-selling vehicle in America for 47 consecutive years. That popularity has a cost: insurance rates are 15-20% higher than the segment average because of repair costs and theft rates. The EcoBoost twin-turbo engines are powerful but expensive when they need service - a timing chain job runs $2,000-3,500 at an independent shop. The F-150 is a genuinely useful truck for people who use it as a truck. For commuters who want the image, the ownership cost is a luxury tax with truck-shaped packaging.
