Americans love their trucks, and there is no truck they love more than the Ford F-150. In fact, not only is the Ford F-150 the best-selling truck in America, but it is also the best-selling passenger vehicle as well. This is because an increasing number of drivers have discovered over the years that pickup trucks also make great vehicles for families, commuters, and other drivers. Ford picked up on this trend of people buying pickups, deciding to offer the F-150 with a great number of options and choices. The 2025 Ford F-150 may, in fact, be the most versatile one yet, with an unrivaled selection of six different engines, three cab styles, three bed sizes, seven trim levels, and two variants to choose from.
The Ford F-150 is also about capability, giving you towing and hauling capacities that are the envy of other full-size trucks. This capability is augmented by the comfort and convenience features and advanced technology that today's truck driver seeks. The interior of the F-150 features surprisingly comfortable finishes, with top trims developing a level of luxury rarely seen on pickup trucks. Ford also gives the F-150 the technological innovations to improve safety, connectivity, and capability. This is why there is nothing like driving a 2025 Ford F-150.

Few full-size trucks can match the 2025 Ford F-150 when it comes to engine options. Ford has given its flagship model an incredible six different engines to choose from, allowing drivers to decide which is right for them.
The engine featured on most trims is a 2.7-liter EcoBoost turbocharged V6. This has a dual overhead cam design, providing 24 valves for its six cylinders. Twin intercooled turbochargers boost output, while a variable cam timing feature shuts down valves at lower speeds, saving fuel. This engine uses a combination of port and direct injection to deliver an impressive 325 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque. This design gives you two injectors per cylinder.
Ford built its trucks' reputation in part on their powerful V8 engines. This continues with the 5.0-liter Ti-VCT V8, dubbed the "Coyote." This engine features twin independent variable camshaft timing to give you the efficient performance you desire in your truck. Like the 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine, the Coyote uses a combination of port and direct injection to deliver 400 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque.
One of the most efficient engines on the 2025 Ford F-150 is a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. This engine has twin intercooled turbochargers to give you exceptional performance, as well as the Ford port and direct injection system. The result is a V6 that really delivers, providing you with 400 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque.
Speaking about fuel economy, Ford shows its commitment to energy efficiency with a 3.5-liter PowerBoost V6 full hybrid powertrain. This combines a gas engine with a pair of AC electric motors, reducing your dependence on gasoline. At lower speeds, the truck runs mainly on electric power, with the V6 gas engine operating a generator to keep the battery pack charged. This also uses kinetic brake recapture to charge up the battery, taking a portion of the kinetic energy released every time you step on the brakes and using it to top off. The combined output of this engine and the electric motors is an impressive 430 hp and 570 lb-ft of torque.
If you are looking for speed, then the F-150 Raptor is the variant for you. Ford has equipped the Raptor with a choice of two different engines. Most models get a very impressive 3.5-liter High Output EcoBoost V8 that provides up to 450 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque. If that is not enough, you can choose a 2025 F-150 Raptor R with a 5.2-liter Supercharged V8. This is the kind of engine rarely seen in a pickup truck and usually reserved for a sports car like the Mustang. This is the most powerful engine ever in an F-150 truck, delivering an insane 720 hp and 640 lb-ft of torque.
Ford understands that drivers want to get the most out of their trucks. This is why it has chosen to equip each of the six different engines available on the 2025 F-150 with an electronic 10-speed automatic transmission. This gives you the different gear speed settings you need to provide the most effective performance from your truck's engine. The SelectShift transmission features Progressive Range Select, so you can make sure your engine is performing properly when towing and hauling, driving on the highway, or taking your F-150 off-road.
On most models, Ford gives you the choice of a 4x2 or 4x4 drivetrain. The advantage of a 4x2 is that it improves trailering capabilities while reducing fuel consumption. In contrast, a 4x4 will give you better traction by delivering power to each wheel through a transfer. The only exceptions are the Tremor, Raptor, King Ranch, and Platinum, which are exclusively available in 4x4. In addition, the Raptor and Tremor have specialized off-road suspensions. Finally, if you opt for the 3.5-liter PowerBoost V6 hybrid, this comes with 4x4 only.
One of the biggest reasons drivers choose to drive a truck is its ability to tow large trailers and haul heavy loads. If this is one of your goals, then few trucks can rival the 2025 Ford F-150's capabilities. This is a full-size truck that gives you the towing and hauling capacity you need, regardless of whether you are buying your truck for work, play, or a little of both.
The trailering capacity of the 2025 F-150 is dependent upon a number of different factors. For example, choosing a regular cab with one row of seats will give you greater towing capacity than the two-row Super and SuperCrew cabs of the F-150. Similarly, a 4x2 drivetrain boosts trailering capability over a 4x4, with all other factors being equal. However, the greatest influence will be felt by your choice of engine.
If you want the greatest towing capability on a 2025 Ford F-150, you will opt for a 3.5-liter EcoBoost Turbocharged V6 engine to tow up to 13,500 lbs. Choosing a 5.0-liter V8 engine will allow you to tow up to 12,900 lbs—almost as much as the 3.5-liter EcoBoost Turbocharged V6. Interestingly, in addition to exceptional fuel economy, the 3.5-liter PowerBoost Turbocharged V6 hybrid gives you a solid 11,200 lbs of towing. If you choose the 2.7-liter EcoBoost Turbocharged V6, you can tow up to 8,400 lbs, while opting for the F-150 Raptor with its 3.5-liter EcoBoost High Output V8 gives you the ability to tow 8,200 lbs.
Two factors determine your payload capacity on a 2025 Ford F-150. The first is the bed size, and the second is the engine. The largest payload bed on an F-150 is the long bed, which measures 8 feet and has 77.4 cu.ft. of cargo space. The regular bed measures six-and-a-half feet and can fit up to 62.3 cu.ft. of cargo. The smallest is the five-and-a-half-foot short bed, with 52.8 cu.ft. of cargo space. Keep in mind that not every trim level offers the ability to choose the bed size.
As with trailering, the 3.5-liter EcoBoost Turbocharged V6 engine on the 2025 F-150 gives you the greatest payload capability. When equipped with this engine, the Ford F-150 can carry up to 2,445 lbs of cargo. The 5.0-liter V8 comes in second again, with 2,230 lbs of hauling capability. The other engines also deliver solid numbers, with the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 able to haul up to 1,785 lbs, the 3.5-liter PowerBoost V6 hybrid capable of carrying 1,735 lbs, and the Raptor with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost High Output V8 being able to haul 1,410 lbs. As you can see, each of these engines provides you with the kind of cargo-carrying capabilities you will need on your truck.
One thing that helps set Ford trucks apart from other brands and make them ideal for all kinds of drivers is the standard advanced technology featured in every model. This is certainly true with the 2025 F-150, with even the base XL trim featuring advanced features to improve safety and connectivity. If you are using your truck for work, commuting, family driving, or any other purpose, you are sure to be glad that your F-150 has these innovative features.
Ford helps make sure you and your passengers will stay safe no matter where you go in your 2025 F-150 with the Ford Co-Pilot360 suite of active driver assistance features. These will help keep you and your passengers safe when out on the road by helping you avoid collisions no matter the driving situation.
The standard Forward Collision Warning will let you know if there is an imminent collision with the vehicle in front of you, allowing you to take action to avoid an accident. This will also trigger the Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking system, bringing your truck to a safe stop before you collide with the vehicle in front of you. If you are unable to avoid an accident, the emergency brakes will reduce the impact, while the Post-Collision Braking will prevent a secondary accident by stopping your truck.
The F-150 also features a Rear View Camera to see behind you when you are backing up your truck. However, there are often vehicles and pedestrians that you cannot see by turning your head or looking at the camera display on your F-150's dashboard. This is where the Reverse Sensing System helps out; this will let you know if another vehicle or pedestrian is passing behind you so you can stop without having a collision.
One of the most common causes of highway accidents is lane changes. If you get distracted while driving, you may begin to drift into an adjacent lane. When this happens, the Lane-Keeping System will sound an alert while using slight steering adjustments to get you back in your lane. Similarly, when you intend to change lanes, you may not see another vehicle traveling in your blind spot; this is especially true if you are towing a trailer. The standard BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert and Trailer Tow Coverage will make it safer and easier to change lanes. BLIS stands for Blind Spot Information System, and it will alert you to any vehicles traveling in an adjacent lane when you signal to change lanes.
Every trim of the 2025 Ford F-150 comes with a SYNC 4 system on a 12-inch capacitive touchscreen. This is one of the largest standard screens on any full-size truck. The system allows you to connect your phones using Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you can make hands-free calls and texts while out on the road. You are also able to stream your favorite music and apps through the SYNC 4 system, allowing you to stay entertained and informed while driving.
You also get a FordPass Connect 5G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot as part of the system. This will help you and your passengers stay connected, especially in remote locations. This can come in handy if you head out on a camping trip in your Ford F-150 or are on a job site and need to download information to your phone or computer.
