Ford F-150 Ground Clearance by Year

Ground clearance for the Ford F-150 ranges from 8 to 12 inches across the catalog years 1999-2023. The figure is the distance between the vehicle’s underside and the ground; a higher value means more clearance beneath the truck. The range describes cataloged configurations, not one measurement that applies to every F-150.

Ground clearance can vary by year and trim, as well as by equipment or configuration. Use the entry for the specific model year and version shown in the catalog rather than treating the lowest or highest figure as universal. The facts provide a range, but do not identify which years or trims correspond to particular measurements.

If you need the clearance for a particular truck and it is not listed for that exact configuration, confirm the figure in the owner’s manual. Check the vehicle’s door jamb for vehicle-specific information as well; do not assume a catalog-wide range is the measurement for your truck.

Stored ground clearance by year. Missing years have no clearance figure in this extract.

The largest stored change occurs between 2021 and 2022, when ground clearance increases.
