About $1,345 a year for full coverage on a national average — 6% less than the $1,438 average car. Insurers rate the Ford F-150 at an index of 94 where 100 is a typical vehicle, based on how often and how expensively these cars actually generate claims (latest data covers 2022-2024).
The premium isn't spread evenly across the Ford F-150: Property damage — damage you cause to other property — carries its highest loss index at 105, while Personal injury (PIP) sits at 66. Those 39 points are the real reason behind the price, and they are the part a quote form never shows you. Among 22 pickups we hold data for, the F-150 ranks #10 from cheapest, below the class median of 95. Against what the car is worth the bill looks different again: a 2026 F-150 sells for a median $60,665, so a year of cover costs 2.2% of the car's value. Calculated from 116 insurance-loss records and live US listing prices.
Why a F-150 costs what it does
Insurers don't price a car with one number — they track losses separately for each kind of cover. An index of 100 is the average vehicle, so anything above means this model generates costlier claims of that type:
Read it as «where the money goes». A high Collision figure means these cars are expensive to repair after a crash; a high Comprehensive figure points at theft, weather and vandalism instead. Estimated annual split at $1,345: Liability (BI + PD) $646 · Collision $377 · Comprehensive $161 · Other (UM / PIP) $161.

Ford F-150 insurance — frequently asked
How much is insurance for a Ford F-150?
About $1,345 a year for full coverage at the national average, versus $1,438 for a typical car. That's the model's insurance-loss index of 94 applied to the US average premium.
Why is the F-150 expensive or cheap to insure?
For the Ford F-150 the costliest area is Property damage at an index of 105, covering damage you cause to other property — against 66 for its cheapest. Insurers set premiums from claim history like that, not from the sticker price — which is why the Ford F-150 lands at 94, not at what it costs new.
Is the F-150 cheaper to insure than rivals?
It ranks #10 of 22 in the pickups class, where the median index is 95 against this car's 94. Cheaper rivals are listed in the chart above.
Is that a lot relative to the car's value?
A year of cover is 2.2% of what a 2026 F-150 sells for — $1,345 against a median price of $60,665. Cheap cars often show a higher percentage even when the dollar premium is lower, and at 2.2% the F-150 sits on the cheap side of it.
Does its safety rating lower the premium?
Not directly. The F-150 holds 5 stars from NHTSA, but crash-test performance and repair cost are priced separately — a car can protect occupants well and still be costly to fix.
Where does this data come from?
Insurance-loss indices published for real vehicles, combined with NAIC state average premiums. It's claim history, not a quote engine — so it shows what these cars actually cost insurers rather than what one company would offer you.
Will my own quote match this?
Treat it as a baseline for the car itself. Your figure also moves with age, driving record, deductible, mileage and ZIP code — the same F-150 can differ by hundreds between two drivers.
