2025 Ford Super Duty F-250 Trims and Performance Features

The XL lays the groundwork for the lineup with a standard 6.8-liter V8 gas engine producing 400 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque, paired with Ford’s TorqShift® 10-speed automatic transmission. Designed for dependable day-in, day-out strength, it tows up to 14,800 pounds conventionally and handles payloads of more than 4,000 pounds. Despite its size, it achieves roughly 13–15 MPG combined—solid for a truck in its class. The XLT keeps that hard-working energy but adds available powertrains for tailored performance. Drivers can upgrade to the 7.3-liter “Godzilla” V8, delivering 430 horsepower and 485 lb-ft of torque. Ideal for towing campers or equipment between Round Rock and Waco, it balances torque and efficiency at about 14–16 MPG highway. When properly equipped, it tows up to 17,000 pounds. The LARIAT steps up capability with the available 6.7-liter Power Stroke® Turbo Diesel V8, producing 475 horsepower and a staggering 1,050 lb-ft of torque. That torque translates to up to 22,000 pounds of towing capacity and effortless highway cruising. Diesel fuel economy lands around 16–18 MPG highway, while the standard 4×4 system provides traction on any terrain. The King Ranch® makes that diesel power standard, tuning the suspension and gearing for confident long-distance hauling. Its gooseneck towing rating exceeds 23,000 pounds, and its powertrain is built to handle Central Texas heat and hill country grades with ease. Topping the lineup, the Platinum trim offers the available High-Output 6.7-liter Power Stroke® Turbo Diesel, cranking out 500 horsepower and an incredible 1,200 lb-ft of torque. With this engine, the F-250 Super Duty achieves its maximum towing rating of 25,000 pounds and payloads around 4,200 pounds while maintaining impressive efficiency for a truck of its size. Across every trim, Ford’s TorqShift® 10-speed automatic ensures seamless gear changes, while available adaptive steering and Trailer Reverse Guidance technology give drivers precise control under load. From job sites to open highways, the 2025 F-250 Super Duty delivers unstoppable power with uncompromising efficiency.

Inside the 2025 Ford Super Duty F-250

Inside the 2025 Ford F-250 Super Duty, rugged power meets modern sophistication, creating a cabin that feels equally at home on the job site, the highway, or the ranch. Ford designed this interior to give Central Texas drivers the tools and comfort they need for every mile, blending premium craftsmanship with practical durability. The XL starts with a work-ready cabin—tough vinyl or durable cloth seating, an ergonomic dashboard, and intuitive physical controls designed for gloved hands. Rubberized flooring and ample storage compartments make it easy to clean and organize after long days hauling through Fort Cavazos or working near Waco. The standard 8-inch SYNC® 4 touchscreen with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ keeps communication and navigation simple, even on busy routes. The XLT builds on that foundation with upgraded cloth upholstery, additional storage, and a larger 12-inch touchscreen that transforms the cabin into a modern command center. Optional power-adjustable seats and dual-zone climate control bring comfort to long shifts behind the wheel, while improved sound-deadening materials reduce engine and road noise, giving the F-250 a calmer, more refined interior. Whether towing equipment across Temple or commuting through Round Rock, the XLT provides both practicality and quiet comfort. The LARIAT transitions the Super Duty from rugged to refined. It introduces leather-trimmed, heated, and ventilated front seats, a power-sliding rear window, and premium materials that rival luxury SUVs. The LARIAT’s interior lighting system and ambient LED accents create a sophisticated atmosphere, while the advanced digital instrument cluster allows drivers to customize displays for towing, off-road data, or fuel efficiency. The SYNC® 4 infotainment system operates through a crystal-clear 12-inch touchscreen, providing wireless Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and cloud-based navigation with real-time updates—keeping you connected from Killeen to Austin. Stepping up to the King Ranch® feels like entering a premium Western lounge. Distinctive two-tone leather upholstery, woodgrain accents, and King Ranch badging throughout the cabin make it as stylish as it is functional. Heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and a 10-speaker B&O® Sound System by Bang & Olufsen® turn this workhorse into a rolling retreat. The King Ranch also includes a wireless charging pad, smart key access, and remote start for everyday convenience. The Platinum trim sits at the top of the range, offering best-in-class comfort and technology. Multi-contour front seats with Active Motion® massage function keep drivers fresh on long hauls, while ventilated rear seats ensure passengers ride in equal comfort. Soft-touch finishes, ambient interior lighting, and available twin-panel moonroof give the Platinum a premium feel unmatched in its segment. Onboard Wi-Fi, multiple USB-C ports, and a 120V power outlet let you work from anywhere in Central Texas. Safety and driver-assist technology are comprehensive across the lineup. The standard Ford Co-Pilot360™ suite includes Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Warning, and Lane-Keeping System. BLIS® with Trailer Coverage helps monitor blind spots even when towing long trailers, while Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ and Trailer Reverse Guidance simplify maneuvering large loads. Available Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go and Evasive Steering Assist enhance confidence in traffic, and the 360-degree camera system provides clear visibility around the truck and trailer. From the base XL to the luxurious Platinum, every 2025 Ford F-250 Super Duty is designed to make demanding workdays easier and long road trips more comfortable. With intuitive technology, top-tier safety, and upscale craftsmanship, this is more than a heavy-duty truck—it’s a command center built for the modern Texas driver.
