2025 Ford F-150 Review

Overview

Written by automotive expert Keith Buglewicz

8/26/2025

Offering a version for virtually any truck buyer, it's no wonder the Ford F-150 is the best-selling vehicle in the U.S. This full-size pickup sits above the smaller Maverick and Ranger in Ford's lineup and has enough different variations for just about anybody. Whether it's a bare-bones work truck, a near-luxury pickup with leather, gadgets, and tons of chrome, or virtually anything in between, the F-150 lineup has it covered. There's also the all-electric F-150 Lightning and heavy-duty Super Duty series, both reviewed separately.

Edmunds spotlight: Diverse lineup

The Ford F-150 boasts one of the most diverse lineups of any vehicle. Starting with the bare-bones XL trim to the luxurious King Ranch and the powerful off-road-focused Raptor, it seems as though there's a model for every kind of truck buyer. If that's not enough, there are also endless options to appoint your truck to perfectly suit your needs. This is particularly true when it comes to towing, as the F-150 can pull up to 13,500 pounds when properly equipped. Trailer backup assist, an integrated trailer brake controller and extended blind-spot warning further ease the burden on the driver.

Competitors to consider

Competition is understandably tight in the full-size pickup class and there's no doubt rivals have the class-leading F-150 in their crosshairs. The Ram 1500 is also a great choice for its comfortable ride and refined interior, while the Toyota Tundra has smooth power and easy-to-use controls. The GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado are also in the running, but they don't manage to meaningfully distinguish themselves from the rest. You should definitely start your truck search with the Ford F-150, so be sure to check out our Expert Rating.

What’s it like to live with?

Back in 2021 we added Ford F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid to our long term fleet. During its time with us, we took it on multiple camping and other road trips, and of course used it to move untold numbers of boxes. The hybrid powertrain garnered almost zero complaints about power, with the combination of the hybrid's electric motors and the powerful turbocharged V6 proving significantly more than adequate. All the while, the F-150 impressed us with its ride quality and quiet cabin, even though our XLT trim wasn't particularly bougie inside. About the only real downside was fuel economy numbers that rarely reached the EPA estimates. We managed just under 20 mpg overall, which isn't bad for a powerful full-sized pickup, but we'd hoped for better. For more specific thoughts, check out our F-150 Hybrid long-term review here.

Which F-150 trim does Edmunds recommend?

We think the XLT represents a great overall value. If you can stretch your budget a bit, the hybrid powertrain is worth getting because of the long-term gas savings. Broadly speaking, consider an F-150 with Ford's BlueCruise hands-free system if you do a lot of highway driving and Pro Power Onboard if you use your F-150 a lot for recreation or job sites.

Helpful trims summary and side-by-side comparison chart

Ford F-150 models

The 2025 Ford F-150 is offered in six primary trim levels: XL, STX, XLT, Lariat, Platinum and King Ranch. There are also the off-road-oriented Tremor, Raptor and Raptor R versions that exist outside the traditional lineup. There are three cab styles — regular, SuperCab (extended) and SuperCrew (crew cab) — and three bed lengths depending on cab style. Along with the many trim levels and cab styles, the F-150 offers six available powertrains. All are paired to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Keep reading for our breakdown of the F-150's powertrains and each trim's significant standard and optional features.

Raptor-specific turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 (450 hp, 510 lb-ft)

Adds to the XL with:

Carpeted flooring
Power-adjustable driver's seat
Dual-zone automatic climate control

Skid plates
Selectable terrain driving modes
Uniquely tuned off-roading suspension
Locking rear differential

Raptor
The off-road-oriented Raptor includes a higher-output turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine, 4WD with low-range gearing and more. Broadly, it combines many of the luxury-oriented features from the King Ranch with the off-road features of the Tremor, plus:

17-inch alloy wheels with 35-inch all-terrain tires
Raptor-specific off-roading suspension with adaptive Fox shock absorbers
Raptor-specific fender flares and grille

Raptor R
The Raptor R swaps the Raptor's turbocharged V6 for a much more potent supercharged V8. It also comes standard with 37-inch tires that are otherwise an option on the regular Raptor.

As you'd probably expect of a full-size pickup, the F-150 is available with all sorts of options. Most lower trim levels can be fitted with options that come standard on higher trims. Other significant options to look out for are:

Just like someone would comment coming from the Toyota world the F150 is like a Spaceship. I initially went from a 2013 Tacoma Baja Ed to the Tundra TRD SR5. The Tacoma had a better package than the Tundra so it felt like a downgrade, then I totally went like 3 steps up with a 2022 F150 Lariat.
