Pricing and Updates for the 2025 F-150 Lariat and King Ranch

How the 2025 Lariat and King Ranch Differ
The Lariat occupies the middle of the F-150 lineup, which means it brings a long list of comfort and convenience features without entering luxury-tier pricing. Standard equipment includes 20-inch alloy wheels, power-folding side mirrors, leather seating, and heated and ventilated front seats with full power adjustment. Ambient lighting and power-adjustable pedals help round out the cabin, and an eight-speaker B&O audio system improves the everyday driving experience.
The King Ranch pushes the pickup into a completely different category. It shares some similarities with the Platinum model but leans into a Western theme thanks to unique two-tone exterior elements and distinctive interior finishes. It also includes a two-panel moonroof, adaptive suspension that automatically adjusts ride quality, and massaging front seats. The Mobile Office package adds more flexibility for drivers who take work with them, and the head-up display projects key information onto the windshield. A 14-speaker B&O sound system gives the King Ranch one of the best audio setups in the lineup.
Both trims draw from the same engine lineup that the F-150 is known for. The standard 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 offers 325 horsepower and a balance of strong torque and efficiency. From there, buyers can choose between the 400-horsepower 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 or the 400-horsepower 5.0-liter V8. A fourth option—the 430-horsepower hybrid version of the 3.5-liter V6—adds electric assistance for improved low-speed pull and better overall efficiency.
Towing capability stays impressive no matter which trim you choose. The hybrid setup tops out at 12,700 pounds, while the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 reaches the F-150’s maximum rating of 13,500 pounds. The 5.0-liter V8 comes in just behind at 13,000 pounds, and payload can climb as high as 2,455 pounds depending on configuration.
Which F-150 Trim Should You Choose?
The Lariat is a great match for drivers who want an upscale truck without committing to luxury pricing. The King Ranch caters to those who want premium materials, advanced features, and a distinct look that stands out. If you’re unsure of which trim is for you, take both trims for a test drive.
