Ford and pickup trucks. It’s been a thing since 1917 when the Ford TT became the world’s first mass-produced truck. A century later, the landscape has changed, but one thing is still true: the inventor is still the master. After all, when you’ve got 100 years of experience under your belt, you don’t just follow the trends, you shape them. That said, let’s look at the 2025 Ford pickup trucks.
Maverick
The Maverick, Ford’s smallest truck, is an affordable, five-seat, four-door truck that combines all the best bits from the mid-size Ranger and the full-size F-150. It is available in hybrid and gas-fired models, both offering identical towing and payload capability (1500 pounds and 2000 pounds, respectively). With the optional tow package, however, the truck’s towing capacity increases to 4,000 pounds.
In the back, you’ve got what can easily double as a double trunk with a tonneau cover or, with it off, a short but perfectly usable bed. In short, this truck makes you think: why bother with bigger?
Ranger
If you have to bother with bigger, the Ranger is ready to step up. It’s offered only as a crew cab with a five-foot bed and cranks up things in a big way. For instance, while the Maverick’s engine tops out at 238 horsepower, the Ranger’s twin-turbo V6 pushes that to a thrilling 315 horsepower. Also, the Ranger can haul nearly double what the Maverick can manage (7,500 pounds vs 4,000 pounds).
F-150
The next truck, the F-150, is for those who want full-size power with no compromises. The best part about this truck is how customizable it is. You can pick from three bed configurations, six engine choices (2.7-liter EcoBoost V6, 3.5-liter High-Output V6, 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, 3.5-liter hybrid, 5.0-liter V8, and 5.2-liter Supercharged V8), and eight models.
Towing capacity varies depending on your setup. However, the honor of the engine with the highest pulling power goes to the 3.5-liter V6, which is rated at 13,500 pounds.
F-250
As you may have noticed, Ford has no problem going big. The 2025 F-250 is another example of that. Sitting above the F-150, this beast is made for serious work, offering a max payload capacity of 8,000 pounds. It can tow up to 40,000 pounds with a gooseneck hitch, 35,000 with a fifth-wheel setup, and 30,000 with a conventional hitch.
