Specifically, I wanna know ground clearance, body heights and hood heights for at least just the Ford F-150 truck between 2000, 2010 and 2020. Extra points for trucks from other brands in the same model years.

I bet Google knows.

Assuming I even have a stable connection. Barely scraping the bottom of my data barrel on my phone.

What options package or trim level, as that will have a big variance? Max/min? Wheel/tire package? 4x2 or 4x4? The Lightning is going to be a bit shorter than the Raptor will, for example .

Yeah, that’s the real problem for me. “Stock” can mean many things, and if I were to find good examples of truck heights increasing over time, one tr im will be much different from another.

My guess is that ground clearance stays roughly the same, same for overall height, and hood heights go waaaay up.

The wheelbase change between 2000 and 2010 was due to them lengthening the extended cabs in 2004 (the crew cabs got a similar treatment between 2008/2009). Everything else has slowly grown.
Edit: Crew Cab trucks will likely be similar growth.

2010 hood height is mid-chest, roof height is taller than me, and ground clearance is more than enough. Source: My 2012.
On a more serious note,
I’m pretty sure that there was a decent size bump on the F-150
between the 10th and 11th generation in 2004 and things have remained pretty similar since. I know everyone on the internet likes to shout
that the current mid-size trucks are as big as a full size from not that long ago but we have tons of new Rangers and Colorados at work and they are significantly smaller than any F-150 in the last 25 years. The hood height and roof height are similar but there is significantly less interior and cargo room.
