AutoPrisme method
Complete ownership cost—not only gas or the payment
The calculator combines estimated value loss, gasoline or electricity, insurance, parking and yearly allowances for maintenance, repairs, tires and registration. Irregular bills are divided by twelve so they can be compared.
Formuladepreciation + energy + insurance + maintenance + repairs + tires + fees
Financed principal is not added on top of depreciation, which would count the vehicle value twice. Use the loan calculator separately for APR, payment and total interest.

EPA data and transparency
Where does the starting efficiency figure come from?
EPA/DOE lists 21 MPG combined, 19 city and 25 highway for the 2026 F-150 2WD with the 2.7L turbo V6. Four-wheel-drive and other engines need different inputs.

Ford F-150 ownership costs
How much does a Ford F-150 cost per month?
There is no single monthly figure. Price paid, future resale value, mileage, insurance, state fees and maintenance can change the result substantially. Replace every example input with your own figures.
What fuel economy should I use for a F-150?
The pre-filled EPA figure is tied to the 2WD 2.7L EcoBoost V6 example. Select the exact engine, drivetrain and model year on FuelEconomy.gov or enter your own measured efficiency.
Does this result include the car loan payment?
No. The ownership estimate uses depreciation to represent value lost and avoids counting the financed vehicle price twice. Use the separate car-loan calculator to examine APR, payment and total interest.
