America’s favorite truck is back and proving to be as popular as ever. We look at the innovations incorporated into the 2025 Ford F-150 that make this new truck a real game changer.

1. Six Power Options

Typically, manufacturers give us a choice between two, or maybe three, engine options. Ford exceeds expectations by offering a total of six outstanding engines for the F-150. The 2.7-liter direct-injection EcoBoost V6 installed in lower trims is extremely capable, delivering 325 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque.

The top Raptor trim comes standard with a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6, increasing the ponies to 450 and the torque to 510 pound-feet. However, to experience the true power of the new F-150, equip the Raptor with the available 5.2-liter supercharged V8 and up the output to a whopping 720 ponies and 640 pound-feet of torque.

2. Interior Design

Ford incorporates innovative design features to make the spacious interior as practical and usable as possible. Raise the Flip and Fold rear seats to open up the back for loading excess cargo. Or, flip them up to place tools and other important items underneath before folding them back down to keep your valuables out of sight.

There’s even an available Interior Work Surface that converts the center console into a handy, flat work surface, instantly turning the front section of the cab into a mobile office.

3. Digital Displays

Ford understands how important dash-mounted displays are to drivers, so has placed a customizable digital instrument cluster directly in the driver’s sight line. With high-resolution, realistic graphics, drivers have an unencumbered view of vital vehicle data and warning messages.

At the center of the dash is the 12-inch capacitive touchscreen. In addition to acting as the entertainment hub, this innovative touchscreen delivers hitching and trailering assistance through the integrated smart towing system.

4. 5G Connectivity

Every F-150 comes equipped with FordPass Connect, turning the F-150 into a potential 5G hotspot. With high-speed connectivity for downloading and streaming and the ability to connect up to 10 devices, this innovative tech lets you work faster or keep everyone entertained on family road trips.

5. Pro Access Tailgate

Another innovative feature of the F-150 is the available Pro Access Tailgate, which improves accessibility to the bed, even with a trailer attached. Fully opening the tailgate to 100 degrees puts you 19 inches closer to the bed. You can also secure and hold the tailgate in one of three positions rather than having to open it fully.

From the range of power options to the innovative design features, Ford has ensured the F-150 retains its place in all our hearts. Visit Beach Ford Inc in Virginia Beach, VA today, and explore the innovations that make the new F-150 a true game changer.
