Four V8s anchor the lineup, topped by the high-output 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel V8 producing 500 horsepower and 1,200 pound-feet of torque, while towing capacity reaches 40,000 pounds on properly equipped F-450s. The Super Duty targets contractors, fleet operators, and recreational towers seeking segment-leading pulling power, competing with the Chevrolet Silverado HD, GMC Sierra HD, and Ram HD.What's New for 2025?Changes for the 2025 Super Duty focus on trim reorganization and technology upgrades. The Limited trim is retired, replaced by a Platinum Plus package that adds a satin-finish grille with chrome inserts, Smoked Truffle interior with perforated Venetian Leather, and Max Recline seats. The 6.8-liter gas V8 is now standard on XL, XLT, and Lariat trims, while the 7.3-liter gas V8 becomes standard from King Ranch upward.AdvertisementAdvertisementPlatinum trims receive a Black Onyx cabin with Platinum Blue accents and exterior updates, including a painted black grille and body-color door handles. Lariat gets ActiveX upholstery and a fixed rear window. New trailer-tech bundles pair auxiliary camera support with individual trailer tire pressure monitoring, and the 2-kW Pro Power Onboard generator becomes optional on King Ranch and Platinum. Onboard Scales with Smart Hitch expand to King Ranch, and the SuperCab is restricted to XL and XLT SRW models with the 8-foot bed. Two new exterior colors debut: Avalanche and Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat.ExteriorMassive proportions define the Super Duty, with long-bed Crew Cabs stretching 266 inches long. The front fascia features bold horizontal grilles that vary by trim, flanked by LED headlamps, while F-350s and F-450s add roof marker lamps. Cab styles are Regular Cab, SuperCab, and Crew Cab, paired with 6.75-foot or 8-foot beds. Standard 18-inch wheels grow to 20 inches on upper trims, and the Tremor off-road package lifts the suspension and adds 35-inch all-terrain tires for those requiring serious off-pavement capability.FordView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articleInteriorCabin appointments vary across the Ford Super Duty lineup. XL trims provide functional work-truck essentials centered on an 8.0-inch touchscreen, while XLT and above gain a 12.0-inch display running Sync 4 with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There's an optional 12.0-inch digital gauge cluster, and a head-up display is offered on upper trims.

Optional Max Recline front seats fold nearly flat for overnight rest during long hauls, a feature that sets the Super Duty apart in this segment. Platinum and Platinum Plus trims get premium two-tone leather, while a Bang & Olufsen audio system provides top-notch sound on top trims.FordView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articlePrice Range and Best Value TrimTrim LevelPriceBase trim: XL (F-250)$45,300Top trim: Platinum (F-450)$94,035Best value trim: Lariat (F-250)$64,740The 2025 Ford Super Duty's price range spans from the F-250 XL to the F-450 Platinum, encompassing 15 variants between them.
