Back in 2020, the Ford Super Duty gained the first-ever black oval as part of the Lariat Sport Package – later renamed the Lariat Black Appearance Package – which was big news at the time. However, a lot has changed since then, with black appearance packages exploding in popularity, as many consumers prefer that type of look compared to the traditional chrome that has been used on various pickups for a very long time now. Now, the 2025 Ford Super Duty continues that trend in a big way.
That’s because the 2025 Ford Super Duty is ditching the Sport Package altogether for the Black Appearance Package, which is optional on F-250 and F-350 four-wheel drive XLT Crew Cab models and the more luxurious Lariat trim for the new year, only in the single-rear wheel format, however – not dually models, and it also isn’t available with the Camper Package and Snowplow Package. Otherwise, the package is quite similar to the one previously offered in 2024, meaning that it includes an array of dark elements. Those include Ebony black running boards and 20-inch painted aluminum wheels and wheel ornaments, black Ford ovals, fender badges and vent surrounds (Lariat only), the front grille surround, mirror caps (Lariat only), along with body-color bumpers, box side decals, rear wheel well liners, and the spray-in bedliner, all for an extra cost of $4,795.
In addition to this update, the 2025 Ford Super Duty has ditched a handful of chrome trim pieces for the new year, as Ford Authority recently reported. Also, the 2025 Ford Super Duty Platinum trim has received a few notable updates, including 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. On top of that, the 2025 Ford Super Duty is also now available with the new Platinum Plus Package, which replaces the Limited trim and adds a unique satin finish grille up front with bright chrome inserts, a Smoked Truffle interior theme with perforated Venetian Leather seating surfaces and French stitching, plus Max Recline seats and a special ownership experience, to boot. As for the Lariat trim, it’s ditching leather upholstery for ActiveX, too.
In addition to becoming just the latest FoMoCo model to get rid of the factory SecuriCode keypad, the 2025 Ford Super Duty has also ditched a handful of configurations that include the SuperCab with a 148-inch wheelbase, SuperCab Lariat models, and SuperCab F-350 and F-450 dual rear wheel pickups. In terms of powertrains, 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. Pricing hasn’t changed much, however, save for the Lariat, which received a somewhat substantial boost for 2025.
As Ford Authority recently reported, 2025 Ford Super Duty production is currently scheduled to begin at the Kentucky Truck plant on December 2nd, 2024, followed by the Ohio Assembly plant on January 21st, 2025, though as always, these dates is subject to change.
