Although full-size pickup trucks have become more like luxury family haulers these days, some people just need an honest work truck that can tow all their tools or equipment. Whether you are looking for a heavy-duty truck for work or for towing your camper trailer all across the country, the Ford Superduty Series has you covered.
Keep on reading this article until the end as we tell you why the 2025 Ford Superduty is worth waiting for for these five huge reasons.
Tons of Power Under the Hood
What good is a Superduty truck if it doesn’t have the power to match its muscular looks? After all, we’re not just shopping for a show truck here. Whether you’re looking for a work truck that gives you the edge over the standard F-150 with a bit more power or you’re looking for a truck that will tow your fifth wheel RV, Ford has got you covered with four different powertrain options.
Let’s take a look at what Ford offers for the 2025 model year for their Superduty models. We have two V8 gas engines and two V8 turbo diesel options for the Superduty depending on whether you get the F250, F350, or F450 models. The base engine that comes as standard with the base F250 and F350 is a 6.8 gasoline push rod V8 that produces 405 horsepower and 445 ft-lb of torque. Although there’s nothing wrong with this engine, the one you should get if you’re looking for a gas engine is the 7.3 Godzilla V8. The bigger displacement V8 produces 430 horsepower and 485 ft-lbs of torque and gives you a significant boost in power and towing compared to the base gas engine.
If you’re going to tow on a daily or weekly basis, though, you should definitely take a look at the diesel options on display for the 2025 model Ford Superduty. First up, we have a 6.7 L Powerstroke V8 turbo diesel that gets you 475 horsepower and a whopping 1,050 ft-lb of torque.
If you need even more power or torque from your diesel, Ford also has a high output version of the same engine that offers 500 horses and a mind-blowing 1,200 ft-lb of torque. No matter which powertrain you’re planning to get, they are all coupled to an incredibly efficient 10-speed automatic transmission that’s going to get you the best fuel economy you can get, at least for a heavy-duty truck.
Top of the Class for Towing
Since we know about what Ford offers for the 2025 model year, let’s take a deeper dive into what everyone is curious about: the new Superduty’s towing capacity. If you’re going to be towing a lot, you should definitely consider the Ford Superduty as it has the best tow rating in the class compared to Chevy and Rams offerings.
When properly equipped, that is, if you opt to get the F450 which comes with dual rear wheels as standard and also the Powerstroke engine, you will be able to tow up to a gargantuan 40,000 lb. Comparing this number to the Chevrolet Silverado HD, which when properly equipped can tow 36,000 lb, and Ram’s heavy-duty offering, which has a maximum tow rating of 37,000 lb, Ford comes out on top. If towing is your top priority, we should mention that these numbers are only achievable with a fifth wheel or goose neck hitch and, of course, would require trims with dual rear wheels.
For those who don’t need to tow an excavator or bulldozer on a regular basis, the Ford F250 also offers very healthy numbers for towing, even with a gas engine. If you just go with the standard 6.8 L gas option, you will still be able to tow almost 15,000 lb.
Upgrade that to the Godzilla V8 and you can easily tow 17,000 lb. Also, keep in mind that you can still get the F250 with the Powerstroke engine, although the price increase is considerably high, and using the Powerstroke without a dual rear wheel setup is just criminal in our opinion.
Now, deciding between the Godzilla and the Powerstroke V8 can be tough, but it all boils down to your towing habits and needs. The 7.3 Godzilla isn’t a slouch, so if you are towing a pretty heavy load frequently, the Godzilla V8 will definitely serve you well.
Keep in mind that the Powerstroke slices a significant chunk of your payload capacity, so if you are hauling a ton of stuff, literally, a gas power train is the way to go. We haven’t even mentioned the maintenance of the diesel engines, which can get pretty pricey really quickly. Whether we like it or not, modern diesel trucks come with many emissions technologies such as EGR, catalytic converters, and DPF, and maintenance of these things can be hard to keep up with, so consider getting the turbo diesel only if you really need it.
A Work Truck with Decent Tech
The 2025 Ford Superduty offers a cabin filled with luxurious options and cutting-edge technology. Depending on the trim package you choose, you can enjoy features such as wood grain interior accents and sumptuous leather seats. The available multicontour seats add an elegant touch, while the max recline front seats let you take a refreshing nap during your lunch break.
For infotainment, the journey begins with the standard Sync 4 system. An 8-inch touchscreen comes standard, with an impressive 12-inch center touchscreen available for those seeking a larger display.
Advanced tools like Pro Trailer Backup Assist and Pro Trailer Hitch Assist make handling the Superduty a breeze, ensuring that working with this truck is as modern as it is efficient. Additionally, based on the trim option you go with, you can also get heated and ventilated seats, a 360-degree camera, a wireless charging pad, trailer tow mirrors, a power tailgate with a tailgate camera that’s activated when the tailgate is down, and finally a 14-speaker setup that gets you to the job site in style.
Endless Amount of Configurations for Your Needs
One of our favorite things about Ford trucks is the amount they offer for configuration, and the Superduty series is no different in this regard. No matter what you choose, be it the F250, F350, or F450, you’re able to get all of these trucks in either a single cab, extended cab, or crew cab configuration.
For bed options, you can get each and every configuration with either a 6 and 3/4 ft bed or an 8 ft bed. So if you want to have the best of both worlds, you can get the 8 ft bed with the crew cab option for comfortable seating for five and all the stuff you want to haul at the back.
You can also get the F350 and F450 in a chassis configuration to install your custom box in the back at your preferred upfitters. Sadly, for the F250, this is not an option. Whichever configuration you need, all trims are available for you to choose from, whether it be the basic XL work truck to the top-of-the-line limited trim. Again, Ford offers you every option to go with, which we always appreciate.
Affordable Pricing to Help Your Business
Everything is more expensive these days, that’s why we’re glad to see that for those who just need a simple work truck, Ford is trying to keep things affordable with their Superduty series. Now, if we were to give you the pricing for each and every trim, we would be here all day as there are so many combinations of configurations you can option. This is why we will give you the prices for base trims and how much the desirable upgrades and options would cost you.
The base F250 and the F350 XL trims are set to start at $45,000 and $46,500 in 2025, and they have the 6.8 L gas engine as standard. But you can option the Godzilla V8 or both the regular or the high-output Powerstroke turbo diesel engines, although keep in mind that these options are not very cheap. On the other hand, both the F250 and F350 XLT trims come with the Godzilla V8 as standard, so if you’re not a fleet customer, we definitely recommend starting your search with the XLT trims and going upwards. These trims start at $51,500 and $52,500 respectively, and just like the XL trims, you can option the Powerstroke engine for $10,000.
If you want the turbo diesel, the F250 and F350 come with the single rear wheel setup as standard, but you can option the F350 to have dual rear wheels for fifth wheel towing capacity. The gooseneck hitch prep package also comes at $550, something to keep in mind. Now, for proper towing, we’ll have to go up to the F450, which comes with dual rear wheels as standard and with the regular Powerstroke diesel, but you can option the high-output version for just $2,500, which is well worth the money in our opinion.
The base F450 XL starts at $66,000, and when properly equipped, can go well above $100,000, but this is only for the top-of-the-line limited trims. You want a tough truck but also want all the comforts and amenities that a modern luxury truck has.
