The F150 has a part time 4 wheel drive system, ie the system has to be enabled by turning a switch to the 4x4 position.
A full time four wheel drive (or sometimes referred to as all wheel drive (AWD) does not typically have any operator switches but rather is active all the time. However this AWD system does require some slippage between the front and rear axles fo allow for turning without having a tire skip on the pavement like a part time 4x4 system with the system in 4 wheel drive.
A third system available on most of the Ford SUV's is a automatic wheel drive system, this system typically has the function of the parttime 4x4 system in the F150 but also has a auto position where the truck is running in a 4x2 mode until the computer detects slippage and then the computer automatically switches the system into the 4x4 mode as needed.
