What are the new features in the 2025 Ford F-150 vs 2024? Spoiler alert — after getting a mid-cycle refresh just last year, the F-150 hasn’t changed much. But even without any major updates, Ford’s full-size, light-duty truck remains the best-in-class choice!
Key Takeaways
- After a long list of updates for 2024 — including updated exterior styling and a clever new tailgate — the 2025 F-150 doesn’t introduce any major changes!
- Both F-150 model years offer tech features, like the Pro Trailer Backup Assist system, that you won’t find anywhere else.
- These F-150 model years offer your choice of six hefty powertrains — not to mention best-in-class towing and hauling capabilities!
- The price of the 2025 Ford F-150 (starting at $38,810) has gone up slightly since the debut of the 2024 Ford F-150 (from $37,065).
Trim Models & Options
Whether you like the 2024 or 2025 F-150, you can choose from the same nine trim models: the XL, STX, XLT, Lariat, Platinum, King Ranch, Tremor, Raptor, and Raptor R.
Budget-Friendly Options
Want to expand your fleet without overspending? The F-150 XL was built precisely for your needs. Upgrade to the F-150 STX for special styling, including 20-inch wheels and carpeted cabin flooring. For both a great price and a longer list of modern features, check out the mid-level F-150 XLT!
Off-Road-Ready F-150 Trucks
Looking for adventure? Three F-150 trucks come standard with everything you need for an incredible off-road performance: the Tremor, Raptor, and Raptor R. The Tremor is right at home in Florida’s sandy (and sometimes muddy) terrain. And the Raptor and Raptor R add everything you need to hit the trail at high speeds!
Luxurious F-150 Trim Models
If you’re shopping for upscale comforts and tech upgrades, you have a few options: the F-150 Lariat, Platinum, and King Ranch trim models. The Lariat offers the best deal on a handsomely equipped truck. Meanwhile, the Platinum and King Ranch are both top-tier options, but with different styling. The Platinum has dark trim, black wheels, and more of a classic overall vibe, while the King Ranch has Western-themed styling, with bronze details and special leather upholstery.
F-150 Tech Updates
The 2024 Ford F-150 introduced some important tech features, all of which carry over to the 2025 trucks! For starters, the infotainment system gets an update. Ford’s bestselling light-duty truck now comes standard with the SYNC 4 infotainment system, along with a 12-inch touchscreen and the wireless versions of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. And 10 different driver safety aids are now available, including lane-keeping assist and blind-spot monitoring.
As usual, the 2024 and 2025 Ford F-150 offer exclusive features you won’t find anywhere else! The Pro Power Onboard generator keeps your rechargeable gear ready for action, and the Pro Trailer Backup Assist system helps you steer a trailer in the right direction. With Zone Lighting, you can light up specific areas outside your truck to help you set up camp after dark or load work supplies before dawn.
Performance: 2024 vs. 2025 Ford F-150
For 2024, the F-150 replaced its old base engine with the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6, which is both stronger and more efficient than the engine it replaced. Of course, the most efficient engine option in the F-150 lineup remains the PowerBoost hybrid. It somehow delivers both 430 horses and 23 mpg combined (22 city/24 highway)! To build an F-150 that can tow or haul best-in-class figures, consider the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 or 5.0-liter Coyote V8! The F-150 Raptor and Raptor R trims each offer their own exclusive engine, specially designed for high-speed off-roading.
2024 and 2025 Ford F-150 Engine Options
- Turbocharged 2.7L V6 (325 horsepower, 400 lb-ft)
- 5.0L V8 (400 hp, 410 lb-ft)
- Turbo 3.5L V6 (400 hp, 500 lb-ft)
- Raptor-specific high-output turbo 3.5L V6 (450 hp, 510 lb-ft)
- Raptor R-specific supercharged 5.2L V8 (700 hp, 640 lb-ft)
- PowerBoost hybrid powertrain (430 hp, 570 lb-ft)
- 10-speed automatic transmission
- Rear-wheel drive or optional four-wheel drive (XL, STX, XLT)
- Four-wheel drive (Tremor and up)
2024 and 2025 F-150 Starting Prices
The 2025 Ford F-150 (starting at $38,810) is only a touch more expensive than the 2024 Ford F-150 (from $37,065). But for drivers who want to build their F-150 from the ground up — selecting the trim model, equipment, and even the exterior paint color — it’s worth it!
