2025 Ford Super Duty vs 2025 Ford F-150

• The Super Duty’s engine options are meant for heavy-duty performance, while the F-150’s powerful engine lineup is much more versatile!
• If the F-150’s 13,000-pound tow rating won’t cut it, the Super Duty’s 40,000-pound max tow rating has you covered.
• These trucks are mostly available with the same features, but the F-150 comes standard with more of them!
• The F-150 (from $38,810*) starts at a friendlier price than the more powerful Super Duty (from $45,300*).

When it comes to performance, the light-duty F-150 is the more versatile choice. Available with six incredible engine options, this full-size truck allows you to select anything from a fuel-sipping hybrid performance to a supercharged off-road ride. On one end of the spectrum, the PowerBoost hybrid helps this truck earn up to 23 mpg combined (22 city/24 highway). And on the other, the F-150 Raptor R’s exclusive, 720-horsepower V8 hits the trail at high speeds! If you’re shopping for workhorse capabilities, check out the sturdy 5.0-liter V8 or 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine.

• 2.7L turbocharged V6 (325 hp, 400 lb-ft)
• 5.0L V8 (400 hp, 410 lb-ft)
• 3.5L turbo V6 (400 hp, 500 lb-ft)
• 3.5L PowerBoost hybrid V6 (430 hp, 570 lb-ft)
• Raptor-exclusive 3.5L turbo V6 (450 hp, 510 lb-ft)
• Raptor R-exclusive 5.2L supercharged V8 (720 hp, 640 lb-ft)
• 10-speaker automatic transmission
• XL: Rear-wheel drive or optional four-wheel drive
• XLT and up: Four-wheel drive

Compared to the versatile F-150, Ford’s heavy-duty trucks deliver more of a one-note performance. Every Super Duty powertrain was designed with heavy-duty performance in mind! Most trim models come standard with four-wheel drive, which comes in handy out on the range. And while you might be surprised at just how nimble these heavy-duty trucks are in off-road terrain, they can’t compete with the F-150 Raptor. But if you’re shopping for outstanding towing and hauling capabilities (more on this below), the Super Duty is incredible!

• 6.8L V8 (400 hp, 445 lb-ft)
• 7.3L V8 (430 hp, 485 lb-ft)
• 6.7L Power Stroke turbodiesel V8 (475 hp, 1,050 lb-ft)
• High-output 6.7L Power Stroke turbodiesel V8 (500 hp, 1,200 lb-ft)
• 10-speed automatic transmission
• XL: Rear-wheel drive or optional four-wheel drive
• XLT and up: Four-wheel drive

At Lunghamer, we hear the same question a lot: “Should I buy a 2025 Ford Super Duty or F-150 for my needs?” To give you the right answer, we need to know a little more about your specific needs! However, we always recommend getting only as much truck as you need. If the F-150 can handle your performance needs, there’s no need to spend more on a Super Duty truck.

Properly equipped, the F-150 can tow up to 13,000 pounds or haul payloads weighing up to 2,455 pounds. In the F-150’s full-size, light-duty segment, these are best-in-class figures! Of course, they pale in comparison to what the Super Duty can do. You can build a Super Duty truck that tows up to 40,000 pounds or hauls payloads weighing up to 8,000 pounds!
