Putting Together the Perfect 2025 Ford F-250

One of the things we love most about the Ford lineup these days is just how many different options there are for folks who want a truck. From the compact Ford Maverick to the midsize Ranger, drivers have plenty of options before even getting to the F-Series of full-size models. Of course, if you’re looking for a truck that can get some serious work done, then you’re likely interested in a Super Duty model designed to handle anything you throw at it. When customers come to us looking for a Ford F-250 for sale, they’re often surprised to discover how many options they still have available to them. So today, we’re going to take you through what’s offered for the 2025 F-250 to help you get a better sense of what you want from your next truck, so things are even easier when you come visit us to find the pickup you need.

Four Configuration Options to Choose From

Although a lot of people like to dive right in by checking out engines and the kind of power they offer, we think the best place to start is with the big picture: the cab and bed size for your truck. This is our approach in general since we can start with a huge range of options and go with the widest stuff first, narrowing things down to get the truck you need. You might expect that Ford just makes one or two configurations available for the F-250, but you actually have four different setups available between three different cab sizes and two bed lengths—though only one cab is offered with both beds. This keeps things fairly simple while still giving you the freedom to get the kind of truck you’re looking for.

To start with, you have three different cab sizes to choose from, and this is one of the most important decisions to consider when putting together your next truck. There’s a Regular Cab that has a single row of seating, making it a good choice if you only ever need one or two people with you in your work truck. If you need to have more passengers along or simply prefer more room inside your cabin, then there’s a Super Cab that adds a second row. Finally, a Crew Cab is available that provides a more spacious back row to give your passengers even more room. Keep in mind that the Regular Cab has about 10 cu.ft. of space behind the front seat, while the Super Cab has 30 cu.ft. and the Crew Cab has 53 cu.ft. of space for cargo behind your seat.

If you choose a Regular Cab or Super Cab, then it comes with an eight-foot bed, giving you over 78 cu.ft. of total cargo volume. This bed measures about 98 inches in length at the floor and 50 inches in width between the wheelhouses—or nearly 67 inches in maximum width. Choosing the Crew Cab lets you pick between this eight-foot bed and a shorter 6.75-foot bed. The shorter one gives you about 65 cu.ft. of cargo volume inside and measures just under 82 inches in length at the floor—it’s the same width between the wheelhouses. You can’t go wrong with any of these options; it just comes down to what you need and want from your truck.

Four Engines for Incredible Power and Capabilities

It’s undeniable that the engine is an important aspect of any vehicle, but you could argue that it’s at its most important when you’re looking at a powerful truck like this. Ford understands that very well, of course, which is why you’ll find four different, incredible engines offered for the 2025 Ford F-250. This lets you choose the kind of power and performance you’re looking for, plus you can get different types of capabilities from each of them. You should definitely take some time to consider the performance you want from your truck before picking the engine that’s right for you, which we’re happy to help with.

To start with, you have two different gas engines to choose from, making it easy to get the kind of power you want. Standard is a 6.8L V8 engine that provides 405 hp and 445 lb-ft of torque, which is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission (all of these engines are). For more power, there’s a 7.3L V8 available that delivers 430 hp and 485 lb-ft of torque—not a huge increase, but still noteworthy. You can choose a 6.7L Power Stroke turbo-diesel V8 engine that provides 475 hp and an incredible 1,050 lb-ft of torque if you need even more power. And for the most incredible capability possible, there’s a High Output (HO) version of this diesel engine that delivers 500 hp and 1,200 lb-ft of torque.

In terms of capability, these engines offer:

• 6.8L V8 – 14,800 lbs towing; 4,240 lbs payload
• 7.3L V8 – 17,200 lbs towing; 4,246 lbs payload
• 6.7L Diesel – 22,900 lbs towing; 4,048 lbs payload
• 6.7L HO Diesel – 23,000 lbs towing; 3,918 lbs payload

You can see that the Ford F-250 can handle a lot of weight, no matter which engine you choose. The HO diesel is the way to go for the highest towing capacity possible, though it’s only slightly more than the standard diesel; both of them far surpass what the gas engines can do. Ultimately, the right engine depends entirely on what you need your truck to be able to handle. That’s why it’s so important that you consider your towing and payload requirements and what you tend to do with your pickup, and then you can choose accordingly.

Five Different Trim Levels for the 2025 Ford F-250

One of the biggest surprises for our customers interested in the F-250 is the fact that Ford offers five different trims for it. Most people expect a few options, at most, for a powerful truck like this, but Ford gives you plenty to choose from. We don’t have the time to take a deep dive into each of these, so we’ll just hit some highlights so you can get a sense of what each has to offer. The starting XL model includes a wide range of great standard features, including the 6.8L V8 gas engine, 17-inch wheels, and available retractable side steps and tailgate steps to make it easier to access things in the bed. You get an eight-inch Infotainment system in the XL model, along with a 4.2-inch productivity screen and basic vinyl seating.

Moving up to the XLT model, you get 18-inch wheels for a bolder stance, an integrated Trailer Brake Controller, and cloth seating inside with an eight-way power driver’s seat. The Lariat trim is a great choice if you want an upgraded interior without going overboard; it includes a large 12-inch SYNC 4 Infotainment system, a 12-inch productivity screen, and dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control along with an eight-speaker B&O sound system. The King Ranch is even nicer inside and out with a power tailgate that includes a retractable step, an exclusive Kingsville Antique leather interior with heated and ventilated front seats, and a 14-speaker B&O Unleashed sound system. Finally, the Platinum adds power-deployable running boards along the sides, a head-up display, and comes with massive 20-inch wheels.
