If you go to Fords 2018 F150 site, the new 2018 is essentially just like the 2015 - 2017 F150. They just changed the front and rear end panels just like Ford did on the 2016 Explorer while it's still the same body as the previous year. This is just for the body.
Engines maybe changed slightly but all get the new 10 speed transmission and auto stop/start. New 3.3L engine replaces the 3.5L n/a and the addition of a 3.0L for the Eco minded grocery hauler.
BTW, don't know if anyone noticed how closely rated the 2017 Silverado 5.3L and F150 5.0L are. Their payload ratings are the same if you add the NHT package to the Silverado and their tow ratings are the same if you add the NHT package to the Silverado and 3.73 Locker to the F150.
New 2018 F150 and new 2016 Silverado body styles went toward the uglier side unfortunately. I like the previous Silverado 2014 look and the 2015 look.
