GROUND CLEARANCE 0 ft. 8.7 in. (8.7 in.)
ANGLE OF APPROACH 18.3 degrees
ANGLE OF DEPARTURE 22.2 degrees

GROUND CLEARANCE 0 ft. 9 in. (9 in.)
Ford's Approach angle for a 4x4 Supercrew is 25.8
Ford's Departure angle for a 4x4 Supercrew is 24.7
The Jeep is close:

GROUND CLEARANCE 0 ft. 8.6 in. (8.6 in.)
ANGLE OF APPROACH 26.3 degrees
ANGLE OF DEPARTURE 26.5 degrees
The Subaru might get the job done but I can imagine some circumstances where you would need that extra .3" of clearance and better angles of the F150. Or the even better still angles of the Jeep.
I personally don't care what anyone drives. It's their right to buy what they like and can afford.
That's actually a lot closer than I thought it was.
Cheers to the last two sentences.
