Trim Level Breakdown of the Ford F-250 SD XL The lineup starts with the XL, fitted with a powerful 6.8L V8 gas engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission to deliver 405 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque.

It's also equipped with automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning for additional safety, and driver comfort is enhanced with the introduction of an eight-way power-adjustable seat. LARIAT The LARIAT sticks with the 7.3L V8 but upgrades the exterior with a bright chrome grille and 18" machined and painted aluminum wheels. Drivers receive a helping hand when towing from a 360-degree camera, trailer tow mirrors, cross-traffic alerts, and reverse guidance. The front seats are heated and ventilated, and the dual-zone climate control ensures all occupants are comfortable. King Ranch Western fans will appreciate the King Ranch with its two-tone coloring, unique logo, and 20-inch bright machine-cast aluminum wheels adorning the outside and the leather features of the interior.

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?
