Ford F-150 XL 4x2 V8 Regular Cab – 13.75 hp per $1,000
Ford continues its domination even when the focus turns to horsepower per dollar. More than the 3.5L V6 (10.93), 2.7L EcoBoost V6 (11.99), and 3.5L EcoBoost V6 (12.63), it’s the 385-hp 5.0L V8 (starting at $27,999) that makes the F-150 the truck with the most bang for your buck in 2016.
