An F150 is not what was being discussed, nor was 'the average american truck'. Generally in areas like this where the size is for the sake of utility and workload capacity, Super Duty (F250 and above) is the standard. You are not towing livestock or machinery with an F150 typically, or with any practicality. Just in the vicinity where I live, looking out my door, F350 is a common choice, with King Ranch being the preferred trim line due to its towing capacity.
