In this article we’ll go over similarities, and differences to give you a better understanding if newer is better. This is your 2025 Ford F-150 vs 2024 Ford F-150 comparison.
Key takeaways
- The two models share similar pricing for most trims, with the higher price bouncing back and forth depending on the trim.

Will Ford change the F-150 in 2025?
Ford didn’t give many, if any changes to the F-150 as the 2024 model saw massive updates to just about every part of the truck. To refresh you, the 2024 model axed the base gas V-6 for something stronger. It also saw the addition of Blue Cruise, as well as a head-up display for available features. A 12-inch infotainment system was also added as standard to the lineup. We'll go over the engines next.
What engines are available for the 2025 Ford F-150?
There's 2 engines available on the F-150 for 2025.
For the engines, you can find the 2.7L V6 EcoBoost, 5.0L V8, 3.5L V6 EcoBoost, 3.5L PowerBoost Full Hybrid, and a monstrous 5.2L Supercharged V8.
Looking at the 2024 model, it is the same as the current model, offering the same options, and power. We’ll go over specs too to let you know which F-150 engine is the most powerful.
- The 2.7L V6 EcoBoost gets 325 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque.
- The 3.5L V6 EcoBoost gets 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque.

While it may seem like the 5.2L is the way to go for hauling, it’s mainly built for fun. The best hauler on the lineup is the 3.5L PowerBoost engine. Depending on the configuration, you can haul up to 13,500 pounds.
What are the trim levels for the 2025 Ford F150?

If you’re looking for a recommendation, then Car and Driver suggests the Lariat for both 2024, and 2025 models, citing that it “has the best mix of features and affordability.” Some of these features are heated and ventilated seats, as well as BlueCruise being equipped.
The main difference in the two models is price, with the 2024 having some higher prices for certain trims compared to the 2025. This makes it a little easier to decide on the newer model if it happens to be less expensive than the year before.
