The 1992 truck received a new aerodynamic-looking front end, a new dashboard, and the flareside bed returned. The Lightning Performance Truck appeared in 1993, with more than 20 industry "firsts" or pilot applications, including 17" aluminum wheels, gas-charged shocks, and performance handling developed by world-champion driver Jackie Stewart. A CD player option was new for 1994, as was a driver's-side airbag, "CHMSL" third brake light, brake-shift interlock, and CFC free A/C. Following the lead of the Explorer, an Eddie Bauer trim line was added for 1995.
Ford trailed rival General Motors trucks for much of the ninth generation, though sales steadily rose each year. 500,000 F-Series trucks were sold in 1992, but this rose to nearly 800,000 by 1996, and the Ford had overtaken the combined Chevrolet and GMC pickup sales for the first time in a decade.
