Lariat adds leather-appointed seating, heated front seats, and Ford's Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0. These features make long drives more comfortable and add important safety technology.

For customers who want luxury, the King Ranch, Platinum, and Limited trims offer premium materials and advanced features. These trucks compete with luxury SUVs while maintaining full truck capability.

Technology and Safety Features

The 2025 F-150 comes loaded with advanced technology that makes driving safer and more convenient. We're impressed by how Ford has integrated these features to enhance the truck ownership experience.

Ford Co-Pilot360 Safety Suite

Every 2025 F-150 includes Ford's Co-Pilot360 safety suite as standard equipment. This comprehensive system includes automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, and lane-keeping assist.

The system also features automatic high beams and a rearview camera. These technologies work together to help prevent accidents and make driving less stressful, especially during long trips or in heavy traffic.

Higher trim levels add Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0, which includes adaptive cruise control and lane centering. This system can help reduce driver fatigue on highway drives.

SYNC 4 Infotainment System

The available SYNC 4 system features a large touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The system responds quickly to touch inputs and voice commands.

We appreciate how Ford designed the interface to be simple and intuitive. Physical knobs and buttons remain for climate control and audio volume, making these functions easy to use while driving.

The system also includes over-the-air updates, ensuring your truck stays current with the latest features and improvements without visiting the dealership.

Available Pro Power Onboard

One of the most innovative features is the available Pro Power Onboard system. This turns your F-150 into a mobile generator, providing up to 7.2 kilowatts of exportable power.

This feature is incredibly useful for contractors who need power tools at job sites, campers who want to run appliances, or homeowners during power outages. The PowerBoost hybrid can even power an average home for up to 10 days.

Towing and Payload Capabilities

The 2025 F-150 leads its class in both towing and payload capacity. We help customers understand these numbers and choose the right configuration for their hauling needs.

Maximum Towing Capacity

When properly equipped, the F-150 can tow up to 13,500 pounds. This capability comes from the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine in a SuperCrew configuration with the available Max Trailer Tow Package.

The truck includes advanced towing features like Pro Trailer Backup Assist, which makes backing up with a trailer much easier. The system uses the truck's cameras and sensors to guide the trailer exactly where you want it.

Smart Hitch technology helps ensure proper weight distribution and alerts you to potential problems before they become dangerous. These features give drivers confidence when towing heavy loads.

Payload Specifications

Maximum payload capacity reaches 2,440 pounds with the right configuration. This means you can carry significant weight in the bed while still maintaining safe handling characteristics.

The F-150's high-strength steel frame and aluminum body provide an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. This design allows for higher payload capacity while improving fuel economy compared to all-steel construction.

We recommend considering both towing and payload needs when choosing your F-150. Some configurations optimize for towing, while others maximize payload capacity. For a detailed comparison of the F-150 versus competitors like the Chevrolet Silverado, visit our comparison page.

Fuel Economy and Efficiency

Ford has made significant improvements to F-150 fuel economy across all engine options. The combination of lightweight aluminum construction and efficient powertrains delivers impressive results.

Hybrid PowerBoost Efficiency

The PowerBoost hybrid system delivers the best fuel economy in the F-150 lineup. It combines a 3.5L V6 engine with an electric motor for 430 total horsepower and excellent efficiency.

This system provides instant torque from the electric motor, making acceleration smooth and responsive. The hybrid battery also powers the Pro Power Onboard system for maximum versatility.

EcoBoost Engine Efficiency

The EcoBoost engines use turbocharging and direct injection to deliver V8 power with V6 fuel economy. The 2.7L EcoBoost is particularly efficient for customers who don't need maximum towing capacity.

These engines automatically adjust their operation based on driving conditions. During light-load driving, they operate efficiently, but full power is available when needed for towing or acceleration.
