First 2025 F-150 Platinum delivered!

[Nightshade]

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.

I saw that, but center console lid doesn’t justify for those buttons delete either. You can simply put a washer in both the coil spring for the center console lid and call it a day! Working on getting that tailgate button and a few more pictures.

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

The location of some of switches is baffling. For example, why have the traction switch in the radio cluster? I have to think some of these decisions are driven by cost savings and don’t make much sense from a user utility POV.

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

Ford messed up when they moved all the buttons from above the radio in 2025 and took buttons away (balance/tone, source, and screen off) to add the hazard, camera and the traction button between the volume and seek knob. Also, the start stop button relocation. The blank plate up top is weird to see. Don’t forget about the cargo camera delete. I am glad we opted for 24 and not 25.

Yes they did, big time. I noticed that, tbh I use that screen off button a lot especially during highway drives during the night. I’m with you there, 100% glad I got into a 2024 and not waited for a 2025. Most of the 2024 stock where I am is almost gone, even Raptor stock is almost gone. A lot of XLTs that no one still wants lol and lower end Lariat is left (501)

2025 redesigned:

Did they delete the cargo camera on all trims? First I've heard of that delete?

 

[NateV]

I know this platinum has the camera In the 3rd brake light.

I'm glad to hear that, Nate. Thanks! That was a shocker to hear, but if they took away the keypad, I suppose anything is possible.

 

[FirstTimeFord]

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

If you look closely at the build site rendering, they appear to have been there all along, ugh. I noticed the Hazard on the radio cluster buttons before but just assumed it was a rendering, they're often incorrect.

I will do everything in my power to keep, maintain and cherish my 2021 Lariat. Ford are idiots.

On the 2025’s I believe so but haven’t confirm the cargo camera delete. Maybe OP can confirm if his dad’s Platty has one since it is a 2025.

You can only do what you can do, until someone else makes that decision for you and T-bones you. We were very happy with our 2021 and it was paid off.

Now I’m second guessing myself if the dash is straight across like that now, or if it dips around the screen like the 21-24. Iv got a list of things to double check when I see him this week.

 

[Zedbra]

That is a sweet colour - and I like the lack of a sunroof. Often with these higher trims you can't get things you don't want unless you order it that way. My 2022 Lariat was ordered without Auto start/stop - don't even know where the button would have been. lol. I use the tailgate guttin a lot, though - I would certainly want that again in anoter truck

your picture you put on the main page shows, if you look through the windshield, it dips down between the instrument and radio.

 

[Chrisy]

I thought the dip is there if you do not have the HUD. And no dip if equipped with the HUD.
So 701A should have the dip and 702A should not. Same with 501A and 502A.
