America’s favorite workhorse returns to the spotlight and showcases Henry Ford’s legacy and pioneering spirit. The 2025 Ford F-150 is a full-size powerhouse that packs a mighty punch, from its well-equipped interior to its cutting-edge technologies and potent heartbeat. Here’s a closer look at what you can expect from the best-selling F-150 in 2025.
#1 – Affordable and Feature-Rich: F-150 Trims
The 2025 F-150 lineup is diverse, with Ford offering trims for every driver, style, and budget need. The F-150’s family tree starts with the XL at $38,610 and progresses to the STX, XLT, Lariat, Tremor, King Ranch, Platinum, and Raptor.[a] The Tremor stands apart as the F-150’s off-road adventurer, while the Raptor is in a class of its own as a four-wheeled powerhouse. The top-tier King Ranch and Platinum are the most luxurious and offer advanced driver-assist tools like BlueCruise, cutting-edge features like Pro Power Onboard, and luxuries like leather-trimmed seats and a twin-panel moonroof.
#2 – Confidence Behind the Wheel: Ford Co-Pilot 360 Technology
Ford prioritizes driver safety by making the Ford Co-Pilot 360 suite standard across the F-150’s 2025 lineup, with optional upgrades adding more advanced technologies. With the Ford Co-Pilot 360 technology, the 2025 F-150 minimizes the potential for collisions by heightening your situational awareness and alerting you to potential hazards. The technologies start with the F-150’s expansive Rear View Camera and integrated tools like Hill Descent Control.
Driver-oriented features are at the front and center of the Ford Co-Pilot 360 suite and include a Lane-Keeping System that helps you keep the F-150 safely centered in its lane. This feature works with Ford’s Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert to monitor traffic along your blind spots. The technology also works when trailering, making it an excellent feature when using the F-150 to tow a heavy load. Additional tools in the suite include Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking and Evasive Steering Assist, which reduce the potential for frontal collisions.
#3 – Cruising Made Easy: Adaptive Cruise Control and BlueCruise
Ford makes cruising at highway speeds more relaxing and enjoyable with the 2025 F-150 and its advanced driver-assist technologies. Adaptive Cruise Control is an available feature with the Ford Co-Pilot 360 Technology and can adjust the F-150’s cruising speed based on the flow of traffic, eliminating the need to apply the brakes and reset the cruise when you see brake lights ahead. While this tool is innovative, BlueCruise is even more so and makes the 2025 F-150 widely appealing.
BlueCruise is Ford’s hands-free driver-assist feature that transforms your experience in the driver’s seat by letting you take your hands off the wheel. The system relies on a driver-facing camera to monitor your gaze, ensuring your focus is on the road. Once engaged, BlueCruise takes over the F-150’s operations by accelerating, braking, and steering to keep the truck centered in its lane and at a safe speed relative to the traffic flow. Since it can work at cruising speeds and in stop-and-go traffic, BlueCruise actively reduces driver fatigue without compromising your safety. If it senses your focus is no longer on the road ahead, it alerts you to put your hands back on the wheel.
#4 – A Tech-Savvy Cabin: More Digital Display Space
The 2025 F-150 offers one of the most tech-centric cabins in the segment, with expansive digital displays that provide vital performance insights, seamless connectivity, and navigational tools. The F-150’s digital landscape starts with its expansive 12-inch center touchscreen display that features Ford’s renowned SYNC 4 system. SYNC 4 provides easy access to your smartphone via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, navigational tools, and in-vehicle apps. It’s also home to the F-150’s expansive Rear View Camera and trailering-related navigational tools.
The 12-inch center stack complements the 2025 F-150’s customizable Digital Instrument Cluster. The hi-resolution display provides vital performance insights via digital gauges and graphics. You can scroll through various screens to see the F-150’s fuel economy, mileage, trip logs, and diagnostics like tire pressure and oil life. This display is also where you’ll see driver-assist alerts from the Ford Co-Pilot 360 suite.
The 2025 F-150’s digital displays are more extensive on top-tier trims like the King Ranch and Platinum. These trims add Ford’s head-up display, which projects your speed and other details on the windshield to keep you informed without stealing your focus from the road. Most notably, the head-up display is customizable, allowing you to see the most relevant information without impeding or cluttering your view.
#5 – Incredible Performance: Powertrains and Capabilities
The 2025 F-150 has an outstanding work ethic that exceeds expectations. Its multi-engine lineup starts with Ford’s proven 2.7L EcoBoost V6 engine. The turbocharged powerplant produces 325 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque for a maximum towing capacity of 8,400 pounds and a 1,785-pound payload capability. Climbing the lineup yields more power, with Ford’s 5.0L “Coyote” V8 engine producing 400 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque.
The F-150 offers three versions of its 3.5L V6–a turbocharged, high-output, and hybrid. The turbocharged EcoBoost produces 400 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque to achieve the F-150’s best payload and trailering capacities at 2,445 pounds and 13,500 pounds, while the high-output version delivers 450 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque. The hybrid 3.5L makes 430 hp and 570 lb-ft of near-instant torque, making it more responsive when accelerating. For those who appreciate more on-demand power and adrenaline-packed performance, Ford answers with the 2025 F-150’s supercharged V8. The 5.2L powerhouse packs a mighty punch and churns out 720 hp and 640 lb-ft of torque. This engine is only available on the Raptor R.
#6 – Next-Level Functionality: Cargo- and Trailering-Related Features
Ford goes beyond the 2025 F-150’s brute strength and impressive capability to enhance your experience when testing the F-150’s cargo-hauling limits. The F-150 offers next-level functionality that makes your job easier, whether loading cargo in the bed or pulling a trailer. For 2025, these features start with basics like the Pro Access Tailgate, which has an integrated swinging gate that opens even when hitched to a trailer.
The 2025 F-150 enhances your productivity and instills confidence with features like Pro Power Onboard, a Smart Trailer Tow Connector, and Pro Trailer Backup Assist. Pro Power Onboard outfits the F-150 with an accessible outlet that can power small tools and other equipment, ensuring you always have power wherever you travel. Pro Trailer Backup Assist is undeniably one of the most advanced tools in the segment because it makes navigating a trailer in reverse as easy as rotating a knob in the direction you want the trailer to go as you watch the F-150’s center touchscreen.
#7 – Off-Road Capability: Adventure-Ready Options
Ford engineers the 2025 F-150 as a reliable work partner that can tackle any job, but there’s far more to the F-150 than its work ethic. It also has a penchant for adventure. Off-road options are plentiful in the 2025 F-150 lineup, from the FX4 package to trims like the Raptor and Tremor.
The F-150’s FX4 package and off-road trims offer a progressive lineup of components, with the FX4 package being the most straightforward and affordable update across the F-150 lineup. The package transforms trims like the STX, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum into worthy trail runners. Alternatively, the Tremor and Raptor take that sense of adventure to the next level. The off-road-oriented trims add exclusive design details that stretch from their modular grilles and optional light bars to FOX Racing shocks, RECARO leather seating, and extensive underbody skid plates.
