2025 Ford F‑250 vs 2024 Ford F‑250
Choosing between a 2024 Ford F‑250 and the updated 2025 model can feel like navigating a family reunion, familiar faces, but with some new personalities. Both are built with Ford Super Duty DNA, offering reliability and rugged performance. The question is: what’s different, and which model suits your life in Langenburg, SK? Let’s break it down.
Same Foundation, Refreshed for 2025
Both model years share the rugged frame, high-strength steel chassis, and the TorqShift® 10-speed automatic transmission, whether equipped with gas or diesel engines. In 2025, Ford introduced new refinements, notably offering the 6.8 L naturally aspirated V8 as the base engine for XLT and Lariat trims, including Crew Cab options with ActiveX seating. Safety, durability and towing hardware remain unchanged, keeping the backbone of the F‑250 familiar and trusted.
Powertrain Showdown: Options Expand for 2025
In both 2024 and 2025, the F‑250 offers a trio of powerful engines. The 6.8 L V8, new for the modern Super Duty, delivers 405 horsepower and 445 lb‑ft of torque, matched to the 10-speed automatic. Drivers who prioritise truck-stop convenience will be glad to see this loyal gas engine in both trucks.
The 7.3 L V8 remains available in higher trims, delivering a robust 430 horsepower and 475 lb‑ft of torque. When it comes to diesel, Ford holds the crown: the 6.7 L Power Stroke V8 delivers 475 horsepower and 1,050 lb‑ft in standard form. Whether gas or diesel, both model years allow you to choose the power that best suits your haul. For those choosing the XL trim, a trailer brake controller is now available, enhancing control when hauling.
Towing and Payload: Consistent Capability
No surprise that the 2024 F‑250 trucks boast amazing max towing figures when properly equipped. That includes up to 10,432 kgs (23,000 lbs) for gooseneck or fifth-wheel setups, and up to 9,979 kgs (22,000 lbs) conventionally. Payload capacities vary slightly depending on engine choice, with the gas engines able to carry around 4,200 lbs and diesel engines a bit less. This is bumped up to a monstrous upgrade and the 2025 F-250 makes a jump with a maximum 181,43 kgs (40,000 lbs) towing capacity and 8,000 lbs payload capacity. These numbers aren’t just specs; they represent real-world confidence for trailer haulers and farmers.
Improved Safety for Advanced Trailering
The 2025 Ford F-250 keeps all the trusted safety features from the 2024 model, like Ford Co-Pilot360™ with Adaptive Cruise Control and Pre-Collision Assist, but adds even more confidence behind the wheel with its new trailer-focused tech. The latest Trailer Technology bundles bring some seriously helpful upgrades, including an Individual Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring System, BLIS with trailer coverage, and additional auxiliary cameras. Whether you're towing through traffic or backing into a tight space, these tools make it easier to stay aware and in control every step of the way.
Building on that, the 2025 Ford F-250 really shines when it comes to towing tech. The available Trailer Technology bundles step things up with smart monitoring tools like auxiliary cameras, a trailer-specific Individual Tire Pressure Monitoring System. For those managing multiple vehicles or outfitting for specialized jobs, the upgraded Ford Pro Vehicle Integration System 2.0 makes it easier than ever to connect third-party equipment and streamline the upfitting process. It's all about giving drivers, and fleet managers, giving you more control, better visibility, and peace of mind on every haul.
Interior, Trims, and Color: New Choices for 2025
For 2025, Ford fine-tuned trim offerings. Ford continues to refine the F-250 lineup with smart upgrades and premium details across the board. The Platinum trim now offer the available 2-kW Pro Power Onboard package, letting you power tools or gear right from your truck, ideal for worksites or weekend adventures. Both the XL and XLT SRW Super Cab configurations feature a practical 8-foot box, perfect for maximizing cargo space. Inside the Platinum Package, you’ll find a bold Black Onyx interior accented with Platinum Blue highlights and a sleek black exterior, while the upgraded Platinum Plus trim adds chrome detailing and rich leather upholstery while having all the features of the 2024’s Limited trim. To top it all off, two striking new colours, Avalanche and Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat, join the palette, adding a fresh dose of style to an already bold Super Duty lineup.
The 2025 Exclusive: Platinum Plus Package
The 2025 Ford F-250’s Platinum Plus Package is all about elevating your experience with refined luxury and standout benefits. Inside, you’ll find a Smoked Truffle interior with quilted Venetian leather seats, bronze accents, and French stitching for a premium feel, plus Max Recline front seats, a split centre console with woodgrain trim, and a panoramic twin-panel moonroof. The 14-speaker B&O® Unleashed Sound System delivers an immersive audio experience. Outside, exclusive 20-inch machined wheels and satin chrome accents add upscale style. Ownership perks include a personalized welcome call and gift, a guided virtual tour to help you get to know your truck, two years of complimentary premium maintenance, Blue Tier status with FordPass® Rewards, expert support, and 25% off Ford accessories for your first 90 days.
Which F‑250 Is Right for You?
For those drawn to raw capability and long-term dependability, the 2024 model remains a fantastic choice. It features the same powerful engines, gas and diesel, and retains impressive towing numbers and ruggedness.
However, if you'd like a few modern conveniences like Crew Cab Lariat with upgraded ActiveX seating, and refreshed interior refinement, then the 2025 model brings those improvements. Mechanically, both trucks are built on the same trusted foundation, but 2025 gives you even more added customization to match your lifestyle.
