Just yesterday, The Blue Oval revealed a host of updates in store for the 2025 Ford Super Duty, many of which are rather notable given the fact that the heavy-duty hauler is just coming off a redesign that debuted in the 2023 model year. These updates involve not only some changes to the trim level lineup, but also, some shuffling around in terms of standard powertrains, plus updated pricing. However, there’s also one other notable change in the 2025 Ford Super Duty lineup – the fact that the Limited trim seems to have been replaced by the Platinum Plus.
During its announcement revealing these changes to the 2025 Ford Super Duty lineup, The Blue Oval failed to mention the current range-topping trim level, the Limited, in any fashion. Additionally, 2025 Ford Super Duty info on the automaker’s official website also makes no mention of the Limited, so it certainly seems as it that trim has been ditched for the new model year. It’s worth noting that the 2024 Ford F-150 lineup ditched the Limited trim as part of its mid-cycle refresh, too – in favor of the Platinum Plus – further adding credibility to that assumption.
As Ford Authority previously reported, the 2025 Ford Super Duty Platinum trim is getting a bit of its own refresh that includes the addition of the Platinum Plus, along with some other tweaks. Those updates consist of a painted black grille and tailgate appliqué, along with body-color door handles, while inside the cabin, the luxurious hauler has been treated to a new Black Onyx theme with Platinum Blue accents. The Platinum Plus gets a unique satin finish grille up front with bright chrome inserts, a Smoked Truffle theme that’s unique to this package, along with perforated Venetian Leather seating surfaces with French stitching, Max Recline seats, plus 2kW of Pro Power Onboard as standard, and a unique ownership experience full of special perks.
Ford is also changing up 2025 Ford Super Duty engine availability, as the gas 6.8L V8 is now standard equipment on the XL, XLT, and Lariat trims, while the gas 7.3L V8 is standard on the King Ranch and Platinum. In the 2024 model year, the 6.8L V8 was standard on the F-250 and F-350 XL – while the F-450 got the regular output 6.7L V8 Power Stroke diesel as standard. The XLT and Lariat were previously equipped with the 7.3L V8 as standard in all configurations save for the F-450, which also got the diesel.
As for the more luxurious trims, the King Ranch and Platinum were both equipped with the gas 7.3L V8 as standard for the 2024 model year – again, save for the F-450, which came with the 6.7L Power Stroke. However, the diesel remains an option across all trims, which is also the case with the high-output version of that same powerplant. Regardless of powertrain, all 2025 Ford Super Duty models still come standard with the 10-speed automatic transmission, too, and pricing hasn’t been impacted too much – at least for the F-250.

Oh come on. EVERY recent buyer of a Ford pickup asked for a Platinum Plus Extra Super Duper Special, for $200K. Where is it? Seriously, it’s been a LONG time since I’ve seen anything other than a Platinum. Talk about morons…
Who’s talking about you?
