The Ford F-150 is synonymous with strength, reliability and innovation. It's no wonder that, for 48 consecutive years, it has been the best-selling pickup truck in the United States. With the new 2025 Lariat version, Ford brings updates that promise to continue captivating enthusiasts and professionals. But is it still the best pickup truck in the world? And the V8 engine, will it disappear?
Let's find out if this American giant, which has already surpassed the mark of 600 thousand units sold annually, surpasses its main competitors, the Chevrolet Silverado and the Ram 1500.
What's new in the 150 Ford F-2025 Lariat?
The 150 F-2025 Lariat has undergone a slight redesign, maintaining the essence that made it famous, but adding touches of modernity. Among the changes, the LED headlights have been given a new layout, and the front grille has been redesigned to highlight its robustness. The bumpers now integrate the fog lights, while the wheels have a more refined look.
- Presence of hundreds of semi-new cars in scrapyard draws attention on social media
- In 1996, Ferrari gifted Michael Schumacher this F355 — now the vehicle is for sale
- Polishing your car at home for less than R$40 is POSSIBLE
- Highway tolls will become more expensive and there is already a date for this to happen; drivers will pay up to R$121 to travel on the roads
Inside, the highlights are the 360° cameras, greater connectivity and improved comfort. The Lariat version offers a perfect balance between luxury and practicality, ideal for those looking for a premium pickup truck with a touch of exclusivity.
Are the V8 engine's days numbered?
The heart of the 150 F-2025 Lariat is the 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine, which delivers an impressive 405 horsepower and 56,7 Nm of torque. Despite the global push for electrification, Ford has reaffirmed its commitment to V8 engines, at least until legislation makes 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 more dynamic performance. And yes, the V8's roar is a spectacle in itself, something that purists deeply value.
Consumption, performance and comfort on the road
In terms of fuel consumption, the Ford F-150 is surprising for its size: 5,1 km/l in the city and 9,1 km/l on the highway. The 136-liter tank guarantees an enviable range, perfect for long trips around Brazil.
Behind the wheel, the pickup offers precise and comfortable steering, even on rough terrain. With a softer suspension than the Silverado, it provides a more pleasant driving experience. However, its length of almost 6 meters requires attention on narrow streets and maneuvers.
Is it better than Silverado and Ram?
When compared to the Silverado and Ram 1500, the 150 F-2025 Lariat positions itself as a middle-of-the-road option. While the Silverado offers greater towing capacity and the Ram has a more luxurious interior, the F-150 matches the best of both worlds: robust performance and a functional interior.
Another point in Ford's favor is its competitive price. In Brazil, the 150 F-2025 Lariat costs around R$519.990, while the Silverado can cost more than R$540.000. This difference, combined with the brand's reliability, makes the F-150 an attractive choice.
