More specifically, the F has a gross vehicle weight rating GVWR greater than 8, pounds, while the F is under that government-specified threshold. Digging deeper, the differences are many. The Ford F is a light-duty truck built primarily to haul lighter loads and cruise effortlessly on the highway. Its engines are more efficient, and its cabin is designed to be quiet at speed.

The F by contrast is built for work. With a trio of V-8 engines, efficiency is not a primary concern for F buyers. The F tows and hauls more, and given its dimensions it may not fit easily in a suburban parking garage. Both are great trucks to be sure, but selecting which one is right for you is totally dependent on the tasks you'll be performing with it.
