This past week has been all about trucks. Chevrolet rolled out its new 2025 Silverado 1500. Ram teased its 2025 Heavy Duty line-up and Ford is opening its order banks for its 2025 Super Duty. Ford has refreshed the huge truck’s styling but plans to use performance to keep the “Super” in Super Duty. The F-350 offers best-in-class horsepower, torque, towing and payload.
“For 2025 Super Duty, we’re adding striking new design options, simplified trailering packages, and convenient hardware and software for upfitters all while maintaining best-in-class maximum available horsepower and torque, towing, and payload. I’d call that a win, win, win for our customers,” said Brian Rathsburg, Super Duty marketing manager, Ford Pro.
Ford is Promising Maximum Power
The 2025 F-350 Super Duty offers a range of powertrains giving customers their choice for power, efficiency, performance, and value.
The 6.8L V8 gas engine is now standard on XL, XLT, and Lariat trims. The 7.3L V8 gas engine is now standard starting on King Ranch and Platinum trims. The 6.7L Power Stroke diesel engine remains an option across all models.
According to Ford, the Ford Super Duty has more than 50% market share in essential industries like mining, utilities, and emergency response.
Depending on which powertrain you choose, the 2025 Super Duty pickup has best-in-class maximum available 500 horsepower and 1,200 lb.-ft. of torque. This rating is based on 6.7L High Output Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel.
The 2025 Super Duty pickup has best-in-class maximum available 430 horsepower and 485 lb.-ft. of torque with a gas engine. This rating is based on the 7.3L V8 gas engine.
Best-in-class maximum available towing of 40,000 lbs. This is based on the max gooseneck tow rating of 40,000 lbs. available on F-450 Regular Cab with available 6.7L HO diesel engine and Gooseneck Tow Package.
More Trailering Technology
People who buy trucks this big use them for towing, whether it is for leisure or work. Ford has built its truck business on that principle and the technology improvements to the Super Duty reflect that.
Ford is offering new trailer technology bundles for drivers who are using Ford accessories or technology from other companies. Ford Pro Vehicle Integration System 2.0 makes it easier to access vehicle signals, add user controls to the center display or the truck’s toggle switches. Anything the truck maker can do to make it easier for the driver to use additional safety gear or cameras keeps all drivers safer. The best part of the new bundle is that the Integration System 2.0 makes it much easier for anyone who uses a third-party’s equipment. The new system is an option on the 2025 Super Duty. Some drivers like another company’s camera system better. Some like another company’s trailering technology. Some RVs require the driver to use a different hitch or hookup. This takes the aggravation out of making it all work seamlessly.
Additional available technology features include Ford Co-Pilot360 Technology, 360-Degree Cameras, customizable Digital Information Cluster and Head-Up Display, and SYNC 4, all designed to help the driver be more aware of his or her surroundings or obstacles. Ford Pro software and Telematics provide fleet managers with tools to help optimize vehicle efficiency. Class-exclusive 2kW Pro Power Onboard provides mobile power for tools or recreational equipment.
