Like freight trains with first-class seating, both the 2024 and 2025 Ford Super Duty trucks blend raw power with premium comfort. But how different is the new heavy-duty truck from last year’s model? Our comparison guide is here to help North Charleston drivers get to know these best-in-class powerhouse pickups.
Key Takeaways
- The price of a new Super Duty (starting at $45,300) has barely changed compared to last year’s MSRP ($44,970).
- Feature availability is the biggest difference between these model years; some comfort and convenience items have been shuffled around the lineup.
- Generating up to 1,200 pound-feet of torque, these Super Duty trucks offer best-in-class towing power!
- Properly equipped, both the 2024 and 2025 Super Duty trucks can tow and haul more than their heavy-duty competitors!
Super Duty MSRP
The price of a new Super Duty has barely gone up for 2025. There’s only a $330 difference between the 2025 Ford Super Duty’s MSRP ($45,300) and that of the 2024 Ford Super Duty (starting at 44,970)! Then again, the price of each individual Super Duty can vary quite a bit, depending on trim model, equipment, local fees, and other factors.
Trim Models & Amenities
The 2024 Ford Super Duty offers six trim models: the XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, and Limited. Each option is more luxurious than the last and most (the Lariat and up) are pretty luxurious!
The 2025 Ford Super Duty drops the Limited from its lineup, but otherwise offers the same trim models. The Super Duty’s new top-tier trim model, the Platinum, gets a makeover for 2025. This luxury heavy-duty truck sports a Black Onyx interior with Platinum Blue accents. Outside, you’ll find black exterior trim. The new Platinum Plus package makes this upscale truck even more luxurious, adding chrome exterior trim and premium leather seating.
Throughout the new trim lineup, features have been shuffled around compared to last year. Mostly, features that were standard last year have become optional. For instance, the Onboard Scales and Smart Hitch technology are now optional for the King Ranch. The Pro Power Onboard generator has become an option for the King Ranch and Platinum trucks. And the new Lariat trades its leather seating for synthetic ActiveX upholstery.
Best-in-Class Power
Both Super Duty model years offer the high-output Power Stroke turbodiesel engine and its best-in-class performance. Generating 500 horses and 1,200 pound-feet of torque, this V8 pumps out more tow-friendly power than any of its heavy-duty competitors!
Although both the 2024 and 2025 Ford Super Duty offer the same four engine options, availability has changed slightly. The 2025 Super Duty XLT and Lariat trims now come standard with the base 6.8-liter V8, offering the other engines as optional equipment. (For 2024, these trims came standard with the more powerful 7.3-liter V8 engine.)
2024 & 2025 Super Duty Powertrain Specs
- 6.8L gas V8 (400 hp, 445 lb-ft)
- 7.3L gas V8 (430 hp, 485 lb-ft)
- 6.7L Power Stroke turbodiesel V8 (475 hp, 1,050 lb-ft)

Heavy-Duty Towing and Hauling
Just like last year, the latest Super Duty can tow and haul best-in-class loads. With the right body style and equipment, Ford’s heavy-duty trucks can tow up to 40,000 pounds or haul payloads weighing up to 8,000 pounds!
Both trucks offer innovative tech systems designed to help you tow your heavy-duty trailer. For example, the available Trailer Reverse Guidance technology makes it easy to back a trailer exactly where you want it. With wired auxiliary trailer camera compatibility, you can install your own monitoring system. And new for 2025, the Super Duty is available with a trailer tire pressure monitor that keeps track of each individual tire’s pressure.
