Your Buyer’s Guide for the 2025 Ford F-150

When you want a truck that works as hard as you do, you know that you can always turn to America’s favorite pickup. You can find the Ford F-150 for sale here at Lupient Ford, where we make a point of keeping a good range of options in stock so you can get a trim and configuration that’s just right for your needs. Whether you’re looking to upgrade to a newer version or buy an F-150 for the first time, we’re happy to give you all of the information you need to find a 2025 model that will meet or exceed your expectations not just today but for the long haul.

Trim Lineup

The F-150 is a versatile truck that can be used for towing and hauling, driving around town, outdoor adventures, tailgate parties, and more. Instead of acting like there’s a one-size-fits-all solution that gives every driver everything they want at a price everyone can afford, Ford makes this truck available in a variety of trim levels that each offer a unique combination of features and a unique price point. That way, you can easily get a model that meets your needs and won’t drive you over budget.

The base XL is a capable workhorse that doesn’t go overboard on bells and whistles but still comes standard with plenty of helpful features, like a powerful V6 engine, a state-of-the-art infotainment system complete with a 12-inch touchscreen, and the Ford Co-Pilot360 Suite of driver assist features (which include features like Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane-Keeping System, and a Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert and Trailer Tow Coverage). Upgrading to the STX adds some additional styling touches, switches out the front bench for bucket seats, and unlocks more available features and packages. Upgrading to XLT unlocks a huge variety of available options, from powertrains to styling accents to tech features, so you can truly make it your own.

If you’re looking for a more luxurious truck full of upscale amenities, there are three great options for you. The Lariat is powered by a capable V8 engine and comes standard with a wide range of tech, comfort, and convenience features like adaptive cruise control, rain-sensing windshield wipers, ambient lighting, a premium B&O sound system, and heated front seats. The King Ranch and Platinum share a starting price and have plenty of features in common, from a standard 3.5L V6 engine that comes standard with the Pro Power Onboard mobile generator to a power tailgate that can open traditionally or like a pair of barn doors to a heads-up display that can project important information directly onto the lower windshield so you can keep your eyes on the road. The main difference between the two is style: the Platinum has a classic look with gloss black exterior accents, while the King Ranch has a Southwestern aesthetic with unique bronze accents on the exterior and genuine wood trim in the cabin, among other touches.

Other trims are designed with off-road capability in mind. The F-150 Tremor is a rugged model with an off-road-tuned suspension featuring front and rear shocks and unique control arms and front knuckles, an increased ride height for improved approach and departure angles, protective skid plates to keep vital components safe on rough terrain, all-terrain tires, and bold orange accents that let everyone on the trail know you mean business. Of course, if you really want to dominate the trails, it’s worth upgrading to the legendary Raptor. This beast of a truck has an extra-wide stance, heavy-duty skid plates, a 4×4 system with a Hi-Lock transfer case, and Dual-Live Valve Fox shocks that provide position-sensitive damping adjustability for a great ride whether you’re climbing mountains or ripping across sand dunes. The wild Raptor R does all that with a truly mind-blowing amount of power under the hood and some extra upgrades that crank rugged capability up to 11.

Cab & Bed Configurations

There are three cab styles and three bed sizes available on the F-150. The regular cab is the smallest option and is only available on the base XL trim. Aside from being the most affordable choice, this cab style also allows you to opt for the long bed, which isn’t compatible with any other cab. The Super Cab is limited to the XL, STX, and XLT trims and only pairs with the standard bed, offering an affordable option for drivers who just need the basics and aren’t overly concerned about interior space. The four-door SuperCrew cab can pair with either the short or standard bed and is available on every trim in the lineup, giving you plenty of room to comfortably bring some passengers along for the ride.

The short bed is 5.5 feet long, keeping the overall length of the truck manageable for easy maneuvering in tight spaces. This is the only option for the off-road Tremor and Raptor trims to ensure that they can handle tight turns, sharp inclines, and other off-road obstacles. The standard bed is 6.5 feet long, giving you extra room for lengthy cargo so you can fit all the payload you need in the bed. It’s the only bed that pairs with every cab style, making it a versatile choice. Finally, the long bed is 8 feet long, so you can fit a truly impressive amount of cargo, perfect for everything from operating a landscaping company out of your truck to stocking up on DIY supplies at your local hardware store for your next big home renovation.

Powertrain Options

There are six different powertrains available for the 2025 F-150, each with a unique set of strengths. The base engine is a 2.7L V6 that’s affordable but still delivers plenty of capability, with a focus on towing and hauling prowess for getting hard work done. The 5.0L Ti-VCT V8 boots towing and hauling capability significantly with its increased power. The 3.5L EcoBoost V6 unlocks the F-150’s highest towing and hauling capabilities (when paired with a properly equipped truck), allowing you to carry up to 2,440 lbs in the bed and tow up to 13,500 lbs. The high-output version of this V6 and the 5.2L high-output V8 that come on the Raptor and Raptor R (respectively) are more powerful but bring towing and hauling capacities down because they’re designed for thrilling off-road driving dynamics rather than towing and hauling. Even so, they’re both capable of towing over 8,000 lbs and hauling up to 1,400 lbs of payload, so you can still make good use of your pickup even when you’re not out on the trail.

The 3.5L PowerBoost Turbo V6 hybrid powertrain doesn’t come standard on any trim, but is available on several. It uses electric energy to allow you to go farther on a tank of gas, enjoy near-instant torque for fast acceleration, and come standard with Pro Power Onboard, a mobile electric generator that lets you use the battery to power appliances and power tools on the go. Aside from the Raptor models, the hybrid offers the highest horsepower and torque figures in the lineup, and it can tow up to 11,200 lbs on a properly configured truck.
