Go out and drive them all and buy the one you like the most and/or get the best deal on.

I sold my 2016 F150 about a week and a half ago and put about 28k miles on it in the 32 months a I had it. I didn't drive a Silverado or a RAM at the time as the best deal I could get was on the F150.

Overall a solid feeling truck out on the road. I had the XLT and think the F150 is a bit rough around the edges as far as refinement goes no matter what the mags say. 6 speed doesn't shift great (I'm sure 10 speed is an improvement), whistling noise under acceleration around 1,800-2,000 RPM which seems to be a common complaint, and my driver's seat moved a bit in turns. Best I could get on the freeway was about 19.5 and mine has 3.31 rear end, while I know people with the GM trucks and they can achieve the highway rating on the freeway. I really don't have any other negatives to mention besides that.

Again, just try to get the best deal you can (obviously). I bought a leftover 2016 model in October of 2016. Picked it up for 36.5-37k and sold it for 32k almost 3 years later. Not a big loss to drive a brand new truck.
