You would go about doing this much the same way you would change the battery in a passenger car. The first step is to locate the battery, in the case of an F-150, it should be under the hood near one of the headlights. Loosen the battery tie down, if there is one, it will either be a strap, or a plate with two very long bolts. Once you've removed the tie down, disconnect the positive terminal, usually red, or marked +, then disconnect the negative terminal, usually black, or marked -. Then lift the battery out using either the strap on top of the battery if it has one, or by getting your hands under the battery and lifting. I would recommend wearing gloves, and not letting the battery touch any clothing you're particularly attached to, as the battery may be leaking, and this could cause severe burns, and damage clothing/other items.
