First 2025 F-150 Platinum delivered!

[NateV]

My dad took delivery today. Only a few pics for now. The center console lid does stay up.

He has an ARE Z2 cap from his 21 that is getting sent back to ARE to be painted red.

Seems like it was the first 25 the dealer delivered. Wonder if there’s a way the Ford chat people on here could check to see if it was one if not the first 25 to be delivered to a customer?

701a, 3.5 eco, spray in liner, wheel liners and bumper step.

Man, that's a beautiful truck! Looks like a ceramic coating? Thanks about the lid staying up! This is the first delivery I've heard of so far. Bet he's one happy dude.

Absolutely love the color and still unfortunate they removed the keypad. Looks clean but got used to the keypad for yeeeears. Anything else changed/deleted that you can see on this one?

 

[NateV]

Yes the keypad is gone. He had a 21 502a Lariat he traded in. I’m not sure what all would have been deleted as we both have 2021s. I know we were playing around with it and the navigation wouldn’t let you search for an address. Said you had to have something in the ford pass for that to work. Dealer told him to just use car play. Not sure if there’s something that needs set up or what. Ran out of time today to check into it for him.

Already added weathertech mud flap. Have the OCD screen protector to do yet, and get some black f150 letters for the gate. Also has a ARE Z2 cap from his 21 that is getting sent back to ARE to be painted then it will be installed.

Nav, yeah once he adds his truck to FordPass it’ll automatically activate. Think it’s one year free for the Ford Nav. Still a beautiful truck.

Good mods so far, for the screen in matte PPF—you can do it at any local PPF shop. They’ll have it in hand and can install it, should be the same price if not cheaper. If you live in a rainy or snowy, even muddy area, look into Husky liners x-act mats.

 

[NateV]

Thanks. Already ordered the OCD one, not a huge deal it was on sale, got it for like 32 shipped. Weathertech mats from his last few trucks already in. This is probably his 10 or so f150. Just the ones that I can remember.
25,21,19,16,11,04,01,99,97,94,90 then I wasn’t born and not sure but there’s been a bunch. Also had 08 and 11 f250 mixed in.

If anyone @Ford. Or ford social media is on here please message me. Be curious if this is actually the first 25 delivered or not, and if I could get any type of letter or certificate saying that, be nice to surprise him with that if so, especially will the number of trucks he’s gotten over the years. He had a bunch In the 80s and late 70s too. Usually every 3 years or so.

Looks awesome and even a 6.5 bed too. Any interior pics?

Beautiful truck

No interior pics right now. Nothing new just a black leather interior. No moon roof.

not sure if this is a 25 thing or changed in 24, but the auto stop button is down by the headlights now. Not up on top of the dash like it is in my 21.

If that’s true then yeah it’s a 2025 thing. 24 still has it above the infotainment screen.

I’ll see if I can have him send me some pics tomorrow but the only thing above the screen is the P button for parallel parking I assume.

I was at my dealer a week before xmas and they had several 2025 Lariats and Raptors on the lot so I doubt dads was number 1.

Figured it was long shot but never know. Looking on cars and auto trader really done see anything instock yet so that’s why I was thinking it’s definitely one of the early ones. Plus nobody else on here seems to have one yet.

—Adding to this, got more photos sent to me for a 2025, this one is for the Raptor… As for the last photo, not sure where that’s from but this looks really bad.

@NateV, see if you can get a few pics of that platty. Also your right, AS/S has moved..

I don't rant too often about F150s or Ford.

But Ford, what were you thinking? The placement of the F150's light controls, zone lighting, and bed release is hard to use without visual confirmation - compared to the Silverado which has the switches in those locations easily usable and visible. So we make the buttons for all those functions smaller and integrate them into the light switch module?

Fair enough, we need less parts to streamline manufacturing. But why move the Auto Stop Start to a different location? And what the hell is that trim piece above the screen? I'd barely understand that on an XL, but on a Raptor!?!

Holy crap I like my 302A more now. My OCD nitpicks about its gauge cluster have nothing on this.
