Try starting it with jumper cables.
It’s possible it has a weak battery. Strong enough to crank the engine but not strong enough to energize the full pump or fuel pump solenoid.
If you have a fuel pressure gauge on the dash you can check the fuel pressure when starting. Should be 20-30 PSI. If it’s zero ya might need a new battery or pump solenoid or fuel pump.
Also check for corrosion on fuses or burnt fuses.
I had a 1997 that failed to start a few times. Took it to the dealer and they put a new battery in it which fixed the problem

Check on the Ford f-150 forum. They might be able to help ya.

My homebuilder once sheepishly told me of the time he had had his tractor towed to a repair shop only to have it diagnosed as out of gas. "Out of gas" would explain everything except • 1) how we were so lucky on Sunday as to reach our destination, and • 2) why the gas meter reads almost half a tank.

Still, it's a possibility. The meter could be stuck. We'll drive to it again tomorrow and add a couple of gallons of gas, just to be sure. Then we'll call for a tow.
