My insurance initially went up about $60/month going from minimal coverage on a 2006 Toyota Tacoma to full coverage on the F150 3.5EB, but I shaved another $48 off that switching to Traveler's via my credit union yesterday. So $12/month more than minimal coverage on a 9yr old Toyota? Seems like your agent fed you a line of BS, especially when an 4.0 V6 Tacoma would cost more than the F150 for me. (I also do not have a clean driving record, making things worse.)
FWIW, there was about a $500/6 month increase had I gotten a 2015 Nissan Titan instead of the F150 when I checked a few months ago.

I would be shopping around after that quote.

Haha, I don't think a stock V-6 F-150 should ever be considered a high performance vehicle...

My insurance was virtually unchanged. I am now paying $1,093/year for both my wife and I (two vehicles, no one else in household with driver's license). Full comprehensive, collision and liability.
I don't understand why everyone is so scared of aluminum?

What's with that Chevy ad showing a Chevy and aluminum F150 getting pushed in on doors at same place then repaired. Ford showed a heap more cost to repair. I know, it's a Chevy ad I reckon, but the rascals do a good job at it. Sure seems the Ford cost more to repair.

The difference between my '13 and my '15 is zero, but my insurance is going up regardless since I just moved into the city.

I have Geico. I got a quote on all of the major trucks and here are the results:
Disclaimer - Includes my wife (colorful driver) and her car (VW Jetta)
F-150 - $914.39
RAM 1500 - $924.86
Silverado 1500 - $956.35
Tundra - $956.77
This is for a 4x4 Crew on all of the makes.
So much for aluminum being way more costly to insure!

Saw similar results with American Family when quoting a new F150.

Mine went down $150. a year from my 08 F150. If I had bought a Ram it would have been about $100. more than my 08.. I both quoted before I purchased. I gave the ins. co vin # on both vehicles.
