Ford has opened the order banks for the 2025 Ford F-Series Super Duty. Pricing starts at US$ 45,300 for the F-250, while the F-350 will set you back US$ 46,595. Those are price hikes of US$ 330 and US$ 580, respectively. While increases are never welcome, the F-250 undercuts the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD. However, the Silverado 3500 HD is US$ 95 less than the F-350. So what’s new for 2025? Not much as the trucks got a major overhaul in 2023. That being said, there are an assortment of styling, equipment, and trim updates.
Luxury trucks have exploded in popularity
and Ford is looking to capitalize on things with a new Platinum Plus Package.
It adds a satin finish grille with bright chrome inserts as well as an
exclusive Smoked Truffle interior. The latter features max recline seats
covered in perforated Venetian leather with French stitching. The model also
comes with a 7.2 kW Pro Power Onboard system as customers are presumably
opposed to roughing it.
Interestingly, Ford is trying to elevate
the ownership experience even further as Platinum Plus customers will get a
personalized gift as well as Blue Tier status in the FordPass Rewards program.
Buyers will also get “unlimited guided personal virtual tours to explain
vehicle features, one-on-one texting with product experts, and a 20% discount
on all Ford accessories for the first 90 days of ownership.” The standard
Platinum hasn’t been forgotten as it now sports body-color door handles as well
as a black painted grille with a matching tailgate appliqué. Inside, there’s a
new Black Onyx interior with Platinum Blue accents.
Further down the trim ladder is the
Lariat, which now comes equipped with ActiveX upholstery as well as a wrapped
steering wheel. Buyers will also find a fixed rear window with privacy glass
and a defrost function. While Ford didn’t mention it, the Limited trim appears
to be dead as it’s not listed under the F-250, F-350, or F-450. The
range-topping variant started at US$ 97,095 in F-250 guise and hit US$ 104,030
for the F-450. Additional changes are limited, but buyers will find two new
colors known as Avalanche and Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat. There’s also
an updated Black Appearance Package, which effectively merges the old Black Appearance
Package and Sport Appearance Package into one. Rounding out the highlights are
a new Ford Pro Vehicle Integration System 2.0 and the degrading of SecuriCode
keyless entry to a dealer installed option. Speaking of dealers, there are new
Trailer Technology bundles including one that combines an auxiliary camera with
a trailer tire pressure monitoring system.
Under the hood, the XL, XLT, and Lariat
now come equipped with a 6.8-liter V8 producing 405 hp and 603 Nm of torque. The 7.3-liter V8 lives on, but is now limited to
the King Ranch and Platinum, where it produces 430 hp and 657 Nm of torque. All trims can also be equipped with an optional
6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel engine. The entry-level unit produces 475 hp and 1,422 Nm of torque, while the high output
variant boosts that to 500 hp and 1,625 Nm of
torque.
