Correct. Most F-150s are toys. My family were die hard, dyed in the wool union Ford guys, but they finally, begrudgingly, had to switch to Toyota in the 2000s because they 1) couldn't afford Ford trucks (even bare bones ones) 2) were clearly designed for weekend toy pursuits and not real work (everything switched to electric actuation and control panels, carpeted interiors) 3) were too tall for even a tall man to reach in and grab something out of the bed from the side and 4) had a lower ground clearance than the older trucks even though they sat up higher.
- lambdasquirrel 3y ago> had a lower ground clearance than the older trucks even though they sat up higher Honest question… do we know how?… (I believe it, FWIW)
- klyrs 3y agoOlder trucks exist. You can actually drive them. And it's summer, people are out driving their classics and taking them to shows. Most of those folks try to keep everything original.
- Avshalom 3y agoGround clearance is limited by your drive train while ride height can be as tall as you want it.

- a2tech 3y agoI seem to recall it had some parts of the transmission that hung down low and part of the..braking? system that was also very low. Everyone was very upset about it at the time.
