Inside, highlights include 360° cameras, greater connectivity, and enhanced comfort. The Lariat version aims for a perfect balance between luxury and practicality, ideal for those seeking a premium pickup with a touch of exclusivity.
Is the V8 Engine on Its Last Legs?
The heart of the F-150 Lariat 2025 is the 5.0 V8 Coyote engine, delivering an impressive 405 horsepower and 56.7 kgfm of torque. Despite global pressure for electrification, Ford has reaffirmed its commitment to V8 engines, at least until regulations make their production unfeasible.
Compared to the Silverado, which uses a 5.3 V8 engine, and the Ram 1500, equipped with a turbocharged 6-cylinder, the F-150 stands out for offering a more dynamic performance. And yes, the roar of the V8 is a spectacle in itself, something that purists deeply value.
Fuel Efficiency, Performance, and Comfort on the Road
In terms of fuel efficiency, the Ford F-150 surprises for its size: 5.1 km/l in the city and 9.1 km/l on the highway. The 136-liter tank ensures enviable autonomy, perfect for long trips across Brazil.
At the wheel, the pickup offers precise and comfortable steering, even on rough terrain. With a softer suspension than the Silverado, it provides a more enjoyable driving experience. However, its length of nearly 6 meters requires attention on narrow streets and during maneuvers.
Is It Better Than Silverado and Ram?
When compared to the Silverado and Ram 1500, the F-150 Lariat 2025 positions itself as a middle-ground option. While the Silverado offers greater towing capacity and the Ram has a more luxurious interior, the F-150 combines the best of both worlds: robust performance and a functional interior.
Another point in Ford’s favor is the competitive pricing. In Brazil, the F-150 Lariat 2025 costs around R$ 519,990, while the Silverado can exceed R$ 540,000. This differential, along with the brand’s reliability, makes the F-150 an attractive choice.
