(1) I am a Ford F150 Truck owner,too.
(2) I am also a Ford F150 Truck owner .
(3) I am a Ford F150 Truck owner,also.
(4) I,too am a Ford F150 Truck owner.
What is wrong or right?
(2) I am also a Ford F150 Truck owner .
(3) I am a Ford F150 Truck owner,also.
(4) I,too am a Ford F150 Truck owner.
What is wrong or right?
# 2 and #3 suggest that you are, among other things , a truck owner........ while the others suggest that you, like other truck owners, are a truck owner. Example: "I have the world's largest collection of monkey sock dolls. I also am a truck owner"
I think in #4 the comma should actually be after "too" or even omitted. It is, in my opinion, the best of the options. Example: "Fred has a truck. I too am a truck owner"

I think "Which is wrong or right?" is more appropiate than "What...".
As for the four choices, they're all from the 'wine & cheese set'.
Just say (or type), "I got a truck like your'n." and you'll be ok by me.
Meaning, you have to put a space in after a comma?

"are" leaves open the option that more than one of them are correct, "is" suggests that only one is correct.

Better:
"I own a Ford truck, too."
This is more direct than using "I am also." Uses fewer words, too. That's the game: say it directly, and economically.
Space always follows a comma.
A comma should also follow the "too."
But, I don't mean to nit-pick. Email is generally informal in this context. What REALLY gets me going are the people who misuse "their" and "there"; "your" and "you're," and who have never heard of an apostrophe. 4th grade stuff.

"I own a Ford truck, too."
Raoul: Say, Bob, I didn't know that this camel is your only form of transportation.
Bob: Raoul, you are correct. I own a Ford truck, too.
