Safety standards are the same for vehicles classified as trucks. The miles per gallon rating is less on a 4x4 because it takes more power and torque to turn all 4 wheels, thus using more fuel.
Consumerreports.org has records and safety reports on all trucks an other vehicles. I would highly recommend visiting this website for information on quality trucks.
The Ford F-150 is always a competitor to other trucks. The Dodge Ram is also another close comparison. There aren't many listings for trucks that compare to these trucks besides the obvious leading brands (Ford and Dodge).
Four by four pick ups are generally more expensive but it really depends on the made and model of the vehical. Generally trucks that have more parts and features cost more.
On the website http://www.automobilemag.com/compare_new_cars/02/trucks/index.html, you can find comparisons for all new trucks including ford trucks. There are also several automotive magazines that you can purchase from any retailer that sells magazines.
Safety first.
