Exploring the Trim Levels of the 2025 Ford F-250 SD
XL
Boasting rugged features and a well-appointed cabin, the entry XL model is a great work truck. It comes in a wide range of configurations, including Regular and SuperCab styles paired with an 8-foot bed for seamless hauling across job sites. Ford equips it with a 6.8L V8 gas engine that delivers 405 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque.
A TorqShift-G 10-speed automatic transmission is also standard and brings four drive modes for enhanced performance in various driving situations, including towing/hauling or driving on slippery roads. The interior boasts stain-resistant vinyl seating surfaces and comes packed with technologies, including the SYNC 4 infotainment system with an 8-inch center touchscreen.
XLT
The XLT comes in the same configurations as the XL and boasts the same standard powertrain, but performance upgrades can make it a better choice for heavier-duty work. Highlights include 18-inch wheels that enhance traction on loose terrains and dirt paths. A trailer brake controller is also standard, optimizing this trim level for trailering.
Cloth seating surfaces give a sporty look to the cabin, while an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat allows you to optimize comfort and reduce driving fatigue. This trim also boasts more power outlets, including an extra USB port and an additional household-style outlet compared to the XL model.
Lariat
Offered exclusively in Crew Cab style and your choice of a 6-3/4-foot bed or an 8-foot bed, the Lariat model can be anything from a rugged work truck to an adventure companion. LED exterior lights, including LED fog lamps, are standard, improving visibility on dark roads and on trails that kick up dust. Exterior upgrades also include PowerScope trailer tow mirrors and a power release tailgate for easier bed access.
Inside, this model comes with stylish ActiveX seating surfaces and a wealth of tech upgrades, including a standard 12-inch center touchscreen, connected navigation, and an 8-speaker B&O audio system.
King Ranch
Rugged yet sophisticated, the King Ranch trim comes standard with a bigger 7.2L V8 gas engine that produces 430 horsepower and 485 lb-ft of torque for more confident off-roading.
Ready for heavy-duty trailering, it also comes with onboard scales and Ford’s Pro Trailer Hitch Assist, trailer reverse guidance, and Pro Trailer Backup Assist. The interior boasts unique styling elements, including vintage-looking leather seating surfaces, and a range of tech upgrades, including a heads-up display.
Platinum
The Platinum trim maintains most of King Ranch’s features, improving them with a luxurious interior characterized by Black Onyx and Platinum Blue leather seating surfaces. An advanced infotainment system with a 14-speaker B&O Unleashed sound system will also elevate your driving experience.
