Engine options range from a sporty four-cylinder that produces 325 horses to an adrenaline-pumping 700-horsepower V-8. more Both rear-wheel and four-wheel drive can be opted for, though if you go with a four-wheel-drive setup, you get a few additional off-road-ready modes with the Selectable Drive Modes terrain management system. Design Inside, this pickup has a stylish yet accommodating interior with heated leather seats and room for as many as six passengers. The available ambient lighting feature allows you to quickly change interior colors with ease. At the same time, you can also stay productive if you'd rather hide the gear shifter to make room for the convenient fold-out work surface. The truck's exterior offers unique colors like Rapid Red, Antimatter Blue, and Carbonized Gray, while the tailgate can be raised or lowered using the key fob and is sturdy enough for you to perform work on. Technology The SYNC infotainment system uses Bluetooth technology to connect Android and iPhone devices for easy access without using your hands. It also offers navigation assistance, satellite radio access, and vehicle controls, which can be accessed with your voice or by using the 12-inch touchscreen. When you need to hop on the internet while on road trips, the 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot is sure to come in handy, and if you have power tools that you plan to use for light construction jobs, Pro Power Onboard is a mobile generator that's on standby at all times to power them up. Safety Three advanced safety systems that help you avert collisions are Pre-Collision Assist, the Blind Spot Information System, and Lane-Keeping System. With all three on board, you'll know when other vehicles are in your path, within close proximity, or when your vehicle is starting to unintentionally stray out of its lane. To keep your distance from other vehicles while maintaining a preset speed, Adaptive Cruise Control can take the reins, as it automatically does this for you, and to automatically transition to changing lighting conditions on highways or small roads; the Adaptive High-Beam Headlamps are also responsive.

Choosing the right engine from the six available options is one of the biggest decisions you'll face when buying the 2025 Ford F-150. To help you make the right call, we'll break down what each brings to the table. 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 This V6 has been putting in work for a solid decade now. It makes 325 horsepower and hits 400 lb-ft of torque at just 2750 RPM. For context, the 5.0-liter V8 needs to rev to 4,500 rpm to match that torque figure. As for fuel economy, the EPA says you're looking at around 19 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. The 2.7-liter is made from compacted graphite iron (the same tough stuff you'll find in heavy-duty diesel engines). Also, this engine is packed with cool features, including direct-mounted turbos for a sharper response, dual injection to help fight carbon buildup, electronic wastegates to reduce turbo blow-by, and a top-mounted cartridge oil filter that makes oil changes easy. more 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 If you're planning to tow something serious, this is the engine you want. It pumps out 400 horsepower and a massive 500 lb-ft of torque, with an available max towing capacity of up to 13,500 pounds and a payload rating of 2,440 pounds. In other words, it's the workhorse of the family. 3.5-liter PowerBoost Full-Hybrid V6 This setup pairs the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 with a 47-horsepower electric motor to crank out a beefy 430 horsepower and 570 lb-ft of torque. That's enough to 11,200 pounds or haul 1,750 pounds in the bed. And no, it's not a plug-in hybrid, so it won't drive you across town on battery power alone, but it'll glide around the neighborhood in EV mode and silently coast when you're slowing down. Oh, and here's a sweet bonus: it comes with a built-in 2.4 kW generator(upgradeable to 7.2 kW). 5.0-liter Ti-VCT V8 This de-tuned Mustang engine delivers 400 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque, thanks to twin independent variable cam timing plus Ford's direct+ port fuel injection system. It offers a max towing capacity of 12,900 pounds and a payload rating of 2,225 pounds. 3.5-liter High Output EcoBoost V6 Only found under the hood of the F-150 Raptor, this twin-turbo beast pushes out 450 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque, which should be more than enough to conquer dunes, trails, and everything in between. 5.2-liter Supercharged V8 This is the most powerful high-performance engine ever put into an F-150 truck. It's exclusive to the Raptor R and rated at 720 horsepower and 640 lb-ft of torque. You really can't go wrong with any of these engines. Want to see how they feel on the road?
