Congrats. Was the 12v power point deleted on the dash?

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.

Beautiful truck. My God is that sharp. Rapid Red? That is one of the nicest F150's I have seen. All the best.

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.

I'm happy about the stop start relocation. Wasn't looking forward to having that light on all the time on top of the sync screen!

That blank plate with a bogus park button above the infotainment, Yikes! That looks terrible and extremely cheap. I really hope my Platinum doesn't have a giant blank plate. Looks like a total afterthought.

Had my dad send me these. I’ll try and get some more this week when I see him again.

Thanks man for all your pics. I'm dying to know what the buttons look like above the infotainment after seeing that blank plate on the Raptor. Where's the tailgate button these days? On my 23 it was near the headlight dial.

Forgot to attach this one. Not sure on the tailgate button. Didn’t think of that one.

Thanks, gotta say, it's one beautiful truck with one ugly blank plate. What the heck were they thinking, ugh! Just delete all the dang buttons.

Found a pic online of the 24 Platinum that shows the Tailgate button over by the light dial as usual. Not sure if it's been moved or removed from the 25.

It looks like they moved most of the buttons from the top down between the radio VOL and TUNE buttons. Why, is the question? The camera button was pretty convenient up top in the past.

Just thinking out loud. Do the trucks with the pro access gate have the button inside to release the gate still? If the gate was open like a barn door would the button let it drop and break something? Not sure how the 24s are.

That's some logical thinking right there. Maybe they made it idiot-proof this time around. Here's a link of one in Orlando that shows the Platinum 24 with the PRO tail and the Tailgate up/down button.

Probably some buttons moved to the software now? Like 'display off', the PPOB and maybe the 'tailgate up/down' as well?
Seems Ford was doing a lot of cost cutting measures and this would align, having less physical buttons in total in the end.

And I agree, ergonomically the camera button had an excellent place on top of the screen.

Maybe the tailgate is like the old clap on clap off lights?

I honestly don’t understand Ford changing a few things, like don’t fix it if it works! Only plus is, definitely do like the AS/S button moved. Should’ve kept everything else the way it was!

Agreed. Moving the Camera, Hazzard & Traction Control down between the VOL and TUNE not only cost us the SCREEN and SOUND SETTINGS buttons, but to trade all that for a blank plate, WTH. I liked having the sounds and screen button. Like you said, if it ain't broke... Not cool at all. Especially on the platinum trims. These are $80k+ trucks. The blank plate look is not a platinum look at all. Really wish they would have deleted that entire button section. I'm sure is comes down to saving $ but it sure isn't reflected in the MSRP. Guess we should be thankful they didn't put a blank plate where keypad lock used to be. Another crazy decision. I'll get off the rant now, sorry guys. Just feeling a little rug pulled.

Exactly! They cheapened the look of the interior then if you look at 2025 RAM, they still kept everything. Ford is still miles better but this will definitely take a hit. Definitely not cool at all. Oh they increased the MSRP on the 25s too, not even surprised. They won’t put those savings towards the things they removed; MSRP definitely went up—they keep trying their luck to see how sales do. Me too but Ford always does everything half-a**ed. Unfortunately people will still buy them, it is what it is. It’s all good, I was livid when I saw all this. Even my sales guy was flipping out a bit

**Side note; my sales manager said there’s a chance the ‘25 Lariats will come with the XLT style fog lights… we’ll have to wait and see if this is true.

Glad I'm not the only one shocked. Maybe the savings went into R&D on the center console lid springs @NateV said his stays up now. Anyone finds out what they did with the tailgate button let us know, please.
