When you’ve got things to haul or rugged terrains to conquer, the 2025 Ford F-250 SD can take care of your heavy-duty tasks. The entry model of Ford’s Super Duty lineup, this capable pickup blends muscle, utility, and comfort in five trim levels that can suit most needs and budgets.
XL
A great choice if you need an affordable hauler, the entry-level XL trim level is perfect for the job site. Its beating heart is a 405-hp 6.8L V8 gas engine that generates 445 lb-ft of torque for a towing capacity of up to 14,800 lbs with the standard 3.73 axle ratio or 17,300 lbs with the available 4.3 axle ratio. A payload capacity of up to 4,240 lbs makes it perfect for hauling heavy loads.
Vinyl seating surfaces are standard inside, keeping the cabin easy to clean, but you can opt for fancier cloth seats. This trim level is available in all cab and bed configurations, allowing you to customize the truck to suit your hauling needs or crew size.
XLT
The XLT comes standard with the same engine but boasts performance upgrades that make it a great choice for hauling on trails. One of the main highlights is the improved illumination that features halogen fog lamps. Upgraded driver assistance technologies include pre-collision assistance with automatic emergency braking, and the interior comes standard with a range of power outlets for added convenience.
Lariat
Taking comfort up a notch, the Lariat model boasts more interior upgrades, including comfortable bucket seats at the front with eight-way power adjustments and ActiveX seating surfaces that give the cabin a cool, sporty feel. A 12-inch infotainment system is standard and features a wealth of entertainment options, including SiriusXM with 360L, and a B&O sound system.
King Ranch
More powerful and more luxurious inside, the F-250 SD King Ranch is perfect for anything from heavy jobs across a site to off-roading or casual driving in the city. Under the hood, it comes with a 7.3L V8 gas engine that produces 430 horsepower and 485 lb-ft of torque. This translates to a towing capacity of up to 18,200 lbs.
The stylish interior comes with unique King Ranch Kingsville leather seating surfaces, heated and ventilated front seats, and heated rear seats with partitioned under-seat storage. For added convenience, this model also comes standard with a heads-up display.
Platinum
With urban-inspired styling and rugged performance, the Platinum trim is a great choice for drivers who want it all. Exterior upgrades include LED projector headlamps for improved visibility in the dark. Like the King Ranch, this model comes in standard four-wheel drive and, to make towing easy, it boasts a standard smart hitch and onboard scales.
