The Ford lineup of trucks come with two distinct options, there’s the trusty F-150 and its bigger brother the Super Duty. Each having their own role, we’ll compare the two to make sure you get what you need, and don't spend more than you have to. Here is the difference between F-150 and Super Duty for 2025.
Key takeaways
- The Super Duty is for those who want to do major work.
- The F-150 comes with a hybrid option, making it a great option for those who want to save on gas.
- Both models come into 2025 seeing no major changes, with the F-150 being a carryover from 2024.
Yes, the Super Duty is changing in 2025. While the changes are minor, you can look for some. The main changes are that a 6.8L V8 is now the standard option for the XLT and Lariat models. Towing sees a boost, this is thanks to the individual tire pressure monitoring on your trailer and the ability to install auxiliary cameras. Two new colors also joined the lineup.
No, the F-150 remains a carryover from 2024. When looking at the 2025 F-150, nothing much has changed. This is due to the previous year's model striking gold, and Ford doesn’t want to ruin that.
What are the colors of the 2025 Super Duty?
The Super Duty comes in 8 colors. As mentioned earlier, there are two new colors for the Super Duty line. These colors are Ruby Red and Avalanche. The other colors that you can find are Agate Black, Glacier Gray, Star White, Carbonized Gray, Antimatter Blue, and Darkened Bronze.
What are the colors of the 2025 F-150?
The F-150 comes in 11 colors. The colors emblazoned on your new truck are Agate Black, Atlas Blue, Antimatter Blue, Carbonized Gray, Iconic Silver, Oxford White, Rapid Red, Shelter Green, Space White, Marsh Gray, and Star White.
While the F-150 does offer more colors, that’s thanks to it being more of a daily driver as opposed to being a workhorse like the Super Duty.
The Super Duty line comes with 3 engines to choose from.
When looking at the engine options for the Super Duty line, we’ll start with the weaker ones first. Starting with the 6.8L V8, this produces 400 horsepower, and 445 lb-ft of torque.
Moving up to the 7.3L V8, this engine can make 430 horsepower, and 485 lb-ft of torque. While this is commendable, it can’t hold a candle to the next engine.
The Power Stroke diesel 6.7L V8 is every tradesman's dream. This engine can output 475 horsepower, and 1050 lb-ft of torque, while the high output version can do even more. The high output version does 500 horsepower, and 1200 lb-ft of torque. This engine will do whatever you need it to, able to tow up to 40,000 pounds when properly equipped.
The F-150 comes with 4 engine options.
Coming with a total of 4 engines, this truck was designed to be more of a daily driver, rather than being a dedicated work truck. The engines you can find are a 2.7L V6 that makes 325 horsepower, a 5.0L V8 that makes 400 horsepower, a 3.5L V6 that also makes 400 horsepower, and a hybrid 3.5L that makes 430 horsepower.
The most that the F-150 can tow is 13,500 pounds, and this is done on the 3.5L V6 engine. The hybrid powertrain has a respectable 12,700 max towing capacity. The max payload capacity for the line is 2455.
The hybrid powertrain comes with an EPA rated 23 MPG combined. Getting you 22 miles in the city, and 24 on the highway.
When it comes to engines, the Super Duty has some of the strongest on the market. Able to tackle whatever you need it to, and more.
