2025 Ford F-250 Review: Specs, What’s New, and Highlights
The 2025 Ford F-250 continues its reign as one of America’s most capable heavy-duty trucks. This year brings exciting updates like the new Platinum Plus trim, improved SYNC® 4 infotainment, an available head-up display, and optional BlueCruise hands-free driving on select models.
Under the hood, the proven engine lineup remains, with up to 500 horsepower and 1,200 lb-ft of torque from the available high-output diesel. The Black Appearance Package replaces the former Sport Package for a sleeker look. From rugged worksite tasks to weekend towing, the 2025 F-250 blends strength, tech, and comfort into one versatile Super Duty truck.

There are six 2025 Ford F-250 trim levels to choose from, with something for every type of driver:
- XL: Durable and practical with vinyl seats, SYNC® 4, and steel wheels.
- XLT: Adds power features, heated mirrors, and trailer brake controller.
- Lariat: Upgrades to ActiveX™ seating, 12-inch touchscreen, and digital gauges.
- King Ranch: Distinctive leather trim, premium finishes, and advanced trailering tech.
- Platinum / Platinum Plus: Adds B&O sound, deployable running boards, head-up display, and top-tier safety.
Performance
Whether you're hauling loads or navigating uneven terrain, the 2025 F-250 delivers serious muscle. Choose from four powerful engines: a standard 6.8L gas V8 (405 hp), an available 7.3L “Godzilla” V8 (430 hp), a 6.7L Power Stroke® diesel (475 hp), or the high-output version producing 500 hp and a best-in-class 1,200 lb-ft of torque.
Each engine is paired with a 10-speed SelectShift® automatic transmission for smooth, responsive shifting. Available four-wheel drive and selectable drive modes ensure confident traction in any weather.
Towing & Hauling
The 2025 Ford F-250 is built to handle your toughest jobs. Depending on configuration and engine choice, the F-250 can tow up to 22,900 pounds when equipped with a gooseneck or fifth-wheel setup. Conventional towing maxes out near 22,000 pounds, while payload capacity reaches over 4,200 pounds.
Standard and available towing aids, like Pro Trailer Backup Assist™, Smart Hitch, Onboard Scales, and Trailer Sway Control, make every haul more manageable. Whether you're towing heavy equipment, RVs, or a loaded trailer, the F-250 offers the strength and smarts to do it safely and efficiently.
Exterior
The 2025 F-250’s exterior has been refreshed with a more aggressive grille design, sculpted body lines, and bolder wheel options. LED headlights and taillights come standard on most trims, while integrated box side steps and corner bed steps make loading easier than ever.
New for this year, the Black Appearance Package adds blacked-out wheels, badges, and trim for a sleek, custom look. With multiple cab configurations and bed lengths, plus heavy-duty design details throughout, the F-250 stands tall on any job site or driveway.
Interior & Tech
Inside the 2025 F-250, rugged meets refined. From the XL to Platinum Plus, the cabin is designed to support long workdays and highway hauls alike. Crew Cab models offer generous space for five or six passengers, and higher trims feature premium materials like leather or ActiveX™ seating.
The SYNC® 4 infotainment system comes standard with a large touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and available 5G connectivity. Optional upgrades include a head-up display, digital instrument cluster, and 360-degree camera system. With smart storage, intuitive controls, and a quieter ride, the cabin feels built for everyday comfort.
Safety
Ford packed the 2025 F-250 with advanced safety and driver-assist features to help protect you and your crew. Standard on most trims is Ford Co-Pilot360™, which includes Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®), and a Lane-Keeping System. Available options include a 360-degree camera, trailer coverage with BLIS®, and Pro Trailer Hitch Assist for easier hookups.
