No , I'm not sure what year Ford started this but it's called the brake shift
interlock , where you have to have the brake pedal depressed to shift out of
PARK . Unfortunately you don't mention what year of Ford F-150 but the
instructions are usually in the owners manuals telling you what to do if you
can't shift out of PARK with the brake pedal depressed

Gearshift sticks..when placed in park its hard to shift it to drive..automatic trans..i turn wheel to sometimes unstick it...?
Keep your foot on the brake pedal when shifting out of park, as there is a switch there to prevent the accidental engagement of the transmission. Sometimes the switch sticks so you have to pump the brake pedal a few times, but always keep the pedal down when shifting out of park. If this does not help then the switch is probably bad.
