If you’re looking to buy a new tow vehicle, listen up. Earlier this week Ford told customers just what they can expect to pay for one of their popular pickups. The F-250 Super Duty price will go up a little—or a whole lot—depending on which one you plunk down your money for.
F-250 Super Duty price increases—one really stands out
Ford industry watcher Ford Authority points out 2025 models will show some trim level changes, but also changes in just what power train is standard. But for most, the bottom line is, “Just how much does the durn thing cost?” Here’s a chart to help you sort it out.
Prices haven’t really changed all that much, unless … unless you’re looking at the Lariat edition. Up a whopping $2,330 from the 2024 model. But looking at it again, maybe that whopping increase isn’t as big a wallop as it first seems. Far less than the rate of inflation, it scales in as a 3.3% price jump.
Other models are way, way, less aggressive in terms of price hikes. They range from 1.13% more, down to as little as 0.04%. Shucks, spend the big bucks on the Platinum Super Duty, and you’ll get the new model for the same price you’d have paid in 2024. Still, our budget isn’t expansive enough to shell out nearly $78,000!
Of course, you’ll get to add on “mandatory destination and delivery fees,” which Ford, coyly, has yet to disclose. You could find a wallet-whacking lurking around the corner.
Changes under the hood
Under the hood, there are a few changes. For the 2025 Ford Super Duty engine availability, the gas 6.8L V8 is now standard equipment on the XL, XLT, and Lariat trims. But the gas 7.3L V8 is now standard on the King Ranch and Platinum.
How does that compare to the 2024s? The 6.8L V8 was standard on the F-250 and F-350 XL. The F-450 got the regular output 6.7L V8 Power Stroke diesel as standard. XLT and Lariat used to come with the 7.3L V8 as standard in all configurations except for F-450, which came diesel equipped.
Are the numbers spinning around in your head? Get out a piece of paper, or you tech-savvy folks, put together a spreadsheet. For more details, click here to be transported over to the Ford Authority story on the matter.

Thank you, Russ and Tina! 🙂 Seems that if you are vetting an F-250 rather than an F-150, aren’t you likely getting it to tow something? If so, wouldn’t you option in a diesel engine? Maybe they aren’t an option. Our farm truck has a diesel engine (well and good). Unfortunately it has a transmission built for a gasoline engine and requires regular rebuilds because it is overmatched by the engine. Thanks again, have a great day, safe travels, and safe stays! 🙂
Those price don’t include options. You’ll have a hard time finding a pickup without any options. Some of those trucks are around $100K.
We still drive and tow with our 2010 XLT F-150. The higher trim levels were just too expensive back then and they still seem very high today. If we replace our current TT we may need a 3/4 ton pickup, but we are not in any hurry and the quality and choices we saw at Hershey were not compelling.
