The half-ton member of Ford's F-Series and the heart of the range. The F-150 name arrived in 1975, and the F-Series has been America's best-selling truck every year since the late 1970s. Later generations brought an aluminium body in 2015 and the electric F-150 Lightning in 2022.
Mostly locally converted to right-hand drive.

What Scarce means
Spotto grades every car by how many are still registered in New Zealand. With 1,200 still registered, the Ford F-150 is graded Scarce (175 to 1,199 left) although the count alone reads Uncommon: a grade only moves once two monthly counts in a row agree, so a single registration either way does not flip it.
By how many are left it ranks 22nd of the 126 Ford models and 408th of all 2,903 cars in Spotto's catalogue.
The six grades: Common, 8,000 or more · Uncommon, 1,200 to 7,999 · Scarce, 175 to 1,199 · Rare, 25 to 174 · Super rare, 5 to 24 · Unicorn, fewer than 5.
