There was already a truck war raging in the US before the Tesla Cybertruck was unveiled last year.

The Ford F-150, the Chevy Silverado, and the RAM 1500 were going head-to-head, with Toyota’s Tundra and Nissan’s Titan also in the picture. The Silverado and RAM 1500 were relatively new, and the 14th generation F-150 was on the way.

The all-new 2021 F-150 arrived last week. The iconic pickup continues its legacy of being America’s best-selling vehicle for 43 consecutive years. Last year, nearly 900,000 examples rolled off dealer lots.

The Cybertruck won’t launch until late next year, at the earliest. It could signal a brave new all-electric future for pickups. And it could in fact beat the all-electric version of the new F-150 to market by a year.

But for now, the F-150 is headed to market, while wannabe Cybertruck buyers have to content themselves with a $100 deposit to secure a truck.

Here’s how the two trucks stack up, on paper:

Let’s start with the insanely futuristic, all-electric Cybertruck. It’s all-aluminum and it signals a significant departure for Tesla as far as the company’s design approach is concerned.
