Head to head
Trim-by-trim prices (last 4 model years)
A fair comparison matches equivalent trims, not overall medians. Like for like: at the cheapest common trims, the Ford F-150 SUPERCREW ($42,370) faces the Toyota Tundra SR ($39,161); the most common trims on the market are the SUPERCREW (40.3% of Ford F-150 listings) and the SR5 (41.2% of Toyota Tundra listings); at the top of the market, the RAPTOR ($80,814) faces the TRD PRO ($59,999). Share = portion of the model's trim-labeled used listings (a supply-side popularity signal: what the market actually stocks and sells most). “Cheapest”/“Priciest” mark the ends of the quotable trim range — trim ladders don't map one-to-one across brands, so this is not a factory base-model claim.
