Ford F-150 Promotional Video

   / @golahura   Ford F-150 Promotional Video The Ford F-150 full-size pickup has evolved into a versatile vehicular multi-tool that's as comfortable in work clothes as it is in designer duds. Available in numerous trim levels bracketed by the base XL trim on the bottom and the Platinum Plus on the top, it offers several powertrains including a traditional V-8, two turbocharged V-6s, and a hybrid. There are three cab sizes—regular, Super, and Crew—three bed lengths, and an off-road focused Tremor model for those eyeing rugged adventures. All models benefit from a 12.0-inch infotainment display, bold interior styling, and numerous storage cubbies. Towing and hauling rank among its core strengths, and available onboard scales help ensure your payload remains within spec. Still, the F-150 faces intense competition from the Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado, so prospective buyers owe it to themselves to do a little comparison shopping. The Ram has a reputation for interior luxury and a buttery ride, while the Silverado's available Super Cruise hands-free driving feature can be used when towing, something Ford's Blue Cruise hands-free driving feature can’t. The full-size pickup segment remains locked in a state of constant one-upmanship, so the balance of power—literally and figuratively—will no doubt shift back and forth as time goes on. Best do your homework before you commit to buying any of the big—and we do mean big—three pickups. As one of our favorites in its segment, the Ford F-150 has earned a spot on our Editors’ Choice list for 2025. What's New for 2025? 2024 brought a host of updates to the F-150, so the 2025 F-150 carries over virtually unchanged. As a refresher, the 2024 F-150's major changes included the discontinuation of the base gas V-6 (replaced by the previously available turbocharged 2.7-liter V-6), the addition of the Blue Cruise hands-free driving feature and a head-up display to the options list, and the 12-inch infotainment screen becoming standard across the lineup. A smattering of exterior styling updates and a new Pro Access Tailgate also made the list. Pricing and Which One to Buy The price of the 2025 Ford F-150 starts at $39.245 and goes up to $76.700 depending on the trim and options. The F-150 is available with multiple body styles and bed lengths. While the XLT model is a step up from the basic XL work truck, we prefer the additional luxuries on the Lariat. It comes standard with automatic full-time four-wheel drive and the proven 5.0-liter V-8, but the twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 is a no-cost option. Though its price may put it out of reach for some buyers, it has the best mix of features and affordability. Note to early shoppers: Ford says the 2025 Platinum Plus will have late availability with full pricing to follow. Engine, Transmission, and Performance The 2025 F-150 offers a choice of several engines starting with a 325-hp twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V-6 and stepping up to a 400-hp 5.0-liter V-8, a 400-hp twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6, and a 430-hp hybrid powertrain that consists of a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 and a 47-hp electric motor. No matter which engine you choose, the F-150 comes paired with a 10-speed automatic. The EPA estimates that the hybrid model offers up to 704 miles of driving range per tank and can also power an onboard generator for keeping the power flowing at job sites or during power outages. Buyers can choose between rear- and four-wheel drive with any of the F-150's available powertrains. During our test drive, we noted a compliant ride and agreeable handling; high-spec models such as the King Ranch come with a variable-assist steering system that sharpens responses at low speeds for a more agile feeling. The Tremor model promises the most off-road capability; it offers 33-inch all-terrain tires, an upgraded suspension, a locking rear differential, and a four-wheel drive transfer case borrowed from the mighty F-150 Raptor. 0-60–MPH Times At our test track, the 2024 F-150 Tremor with the 5.0-liter V-8 got to 60 mph in 6.0 seconds. A previous Tremor we tested with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 was even quicker, leaping to 60 mph in just 5.3 seconds. A four-wheel-drive Lariat with the PowerBoost hybrid powertrain galloped to 60 mph in an also brisk 5.4 seconds.
