Java leather and King Ranch detailing give the 2025 Ford F-150 King Ranch its identity, while heated rear seats, power-deploying running boards and a well-equipped SuperCrew cabin provide the everyday reasons to consider it. The more important mechanical decision is between the regular 3.5-litre EcoBoost and the optional PowerBoost hybrid. The trim badge alone does not tell you which engine, axle or towing configuration a truck has.
This guide covers the 2025 King Ranch featured in our video, with Canadian specifications and dated Canadian trim-price comparisons. It separates the King Ranch equipment from the options on individual factory builds, rather than treating every example as identical.

Models available
The 2025 F-150 family includes XL, STX, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, Tremor and Raptor. King Ranch sits among the luxury-oriented choices. Tremor and Raptor concentrate more specifically on off-road hardware, so neither is simply a King Ranch with a different interior.
For a useful first comparison, look at Lariat, King Ranch and Platinum in the same cab and drivetrain configuration. The Canadian records below all use a SuperCrew 4×4 layout and a labelled 145-inch wheelbase. A cheaper Regular Cab work truck is a poor reference for what the King Ranch cabin adds.
Engine and transmission
The 3.5-litre EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 produces 400 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque. The optional 3.5-litre PowerBoost full hybrid produces 430 hp and 570 lb-ft. Both use a ten-speed automatic. Ford Canada’s 2025 F-150 towing guide lists the powertrains separately, including their different towing configurations.
PowerBoost is worth considering for its lower combined fuel-consumption rating and available electrical utility, not just its extra output. The October Canadian hybrid record includes 7.2-kW Pro Power Onboard. That equipment should not be assumed on a non-hybrid King Ranch simply because the cabin has the same trim name.
Towing and load limits
There is no single tow rating that applies to every King Ranch. Engine, wheelbase, axle, gross combined weight rating and towing equipment all matter. The video description does not establish that complete combination, so the F-150 range’s headline maximum is not assigned to this truck.
When matching a trailer, obtain the actual build record and the door-jamb payload label. Trailer tongue weight, occupants and cargo all use the truck’s carrying capacity. Ford’s guide also limits trailer weight to 5,000 lb without a weight-distribution system. A factory Class IV receiver, which appears on the Canadian King Ranch equipment list, does not by itself confirm the maximum allowable trailer weight.
Fuel economy
Natural Resources Canada rates the 2025 F-150 4×4 with the regular 3.5-litre engine at 14.5 L/100 km city, 9.8 highway and 12.4 combined. The PowerBoost hybrid 4×4 is rated at 11.2 city, 10.0 highway and 10.7 combined. These are standardized powertrain ratings, not fuel consumption measured in our video. NRCan’s 2025 ratings.
At 20,000 km annually, those combined figures represent 2,480 litres for EcoBoost or 2,140 litres for PowerBoost, a difference of 340 litres. Multiply by your fuel price to estimate the annual saving. The hybrid’s rated highway figure is slightly higher, so a buyer doing mostly highway kilometres should not expect the full combined-cycle advantage on every trip.
Interior, seating and everyday equipment
The Canadian 601A King Ranch specification has Java leather, front-seat heating and ventilation, heated rear seats, dual-zone climate control and memory-adjustable pedals. Its brown cabin treatment is the clearest visual distinction from the black leather Platinum record used here. Lariat instead lists ActiveX seating material.
Power running boards help with access, while a power tailgate and a power-sliding rear window add convenience. Check those moving components on a used example, especially where winter grime can collect around the running-board mechanisms. Try the seats and pedal adjustment with each regular driver before deciding that the more expensive trim is automatically the more comfortable choice.
The October EcoBoost record uses 20-inch chrome-like PVD wheels. The separate hybrid record lists 22-inch wheels as a $1,775 option. The larger wheel is therefore not an essential part of buying a King Ranch. Compare the tire sizes and replacement cost, and make sure the wheel specification suits the roads and loads you regularly encounter.
Infotainment and driver assistance
A 12-inch instrument display and 12-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen are listed with B&O audio and a 360-degree camera. The camera is useful for checking the area around a large truck, but it cannot show every obstacle or replace looking around the vehicle. Test the screen, camera views and audio before buying an older example.
The Canadian equipment list also includes blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert, lane keeping, pre-collision assistance with automatic emergency braking, reverse brake assistance and rear parking sensors. The reference King Ranch labels identify a one-year BlueCruise plan; do not treat that original plan as a permanently included subscription on a used truck. Confirm the remaining service entitlement and read the operating limits before relying on hands-free assistance.
Pricing in CAD
These are original Canadian 2025 factory-label prices, checked on October 28, 2026. The comparison uses SuperCrew 4×4 trucks with a 145-inch labelled wheelbase. Base amounts exclude options, destination, the $100 air-conditioning excise tax and sales taxes; they are not the video vehicle’s confirmed invoice. Dates differ, so this is a documented historical comparison rather than a single-day price list.
| 2025 configuration | Historical base MSRP (CAD) | Label date | Equipment distinction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lariat 501A | $82,895 | October 9, 2025 | ActiveX seating, front-seat heat/ventilation, B&O audio and 360-degree camera. Moonroof and appearance packages are extra on this record. |
| King Ranch 601A | $97,340 | October 3, 2025 | Java leather, heated rear seats, power running boards and King Ranch cabin detailing; 3.5L EcoBoost. |
| Platinum 702A | $105,640 | September 4, 2025 | Premium leather with a different cabin treatment; the reference truck adds PowerBoost and 22-inch wheels separately. |
The Lariat record also shows $2,250 in factory label reductions. Those are excluded from the base-price column, as are its selected options. The King Ranch and Platinum records each charge $3,000 for PowerBoost when fitted; comparing their base amounts with a hybrid’s fully equipped total would overstate the trim difference.
On these records, King Ranch is $14,445 above Lariat before label reductions and options. Adding $2,595 destination and $100 excise to its $97,340 base gives $100,035 before other charges and sales taxes. PowerBoost adds $3,000 on the October 6 label. The price is for a documented reference configuration, not an established as-tested total for the video truck.
Which F-150 makes sense?
Choose King Ranch because you prefer its Java cabin and comfort specification. Choose Lariat if its front-seat equipment and ActiveX upholstery cover your needs without the King Ranch price step. Platinum deserves a closer look if you prefer its interior treatment, but compare actual equipment groups and option lists before paying more.
An October King Ranch EcoBoost label lists the FX4 Off-Road Package separately at $1,775. That is a reminder to distinguish luxury trim from off-road equipment. For newer-model comparisons, see our 2026 King Ranch review and 2026 Lariat review. Their model-year prices should remain separate from this 2025 comparison.
Frequently asked questions
Is PowerBoost standard on the 2025 King Ranch?
The Canadian records distinguish the standard 3.5-litre EcoBoost from a $3,000 PowerBoost option. Check the engine on the individual truck.
Are 22-inch wheels included?
The reference EcoBoost build uses 20-inch wheels. The 22-inch wheels cost extra on the Canadian hybrid record.
Does a King Ranch badge guarantee maximum towing?
No. Match its engine, axle, wheelbase, towing equipment and weight ratings to the trailer. Luxury equipment does not establish the truck’s tow limit.
