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 ($40,059) faces the Toyota Tundra SR ($37,747); the most common trims on the market are the SUPERCREW (35.8% of Ford F-150 listings) and the SR5 (40.9% of Toyota Tundra listings); at the top of the market, the RAPTOR ($79,186) faces the TRD PRO ($57,956). 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.
