Scorching on the heels of the badass Maverick Lobo compact avenue truck, Ford introduced the brand new 2025 F-150 Lobo avenue truck on Thursday night time. Sadly, just like the Maverick Lobo, the F-150 Lobo would not acquire any further energy over different F-150s, however seeing as there seems to be a ceasefire within the battle in opposition to the V8, at the least the full-size Lobo does have Ford’s 5.0-liter V8 beneath its hood.
Choosing the Lobo bundle will add $4,695 to the worth of an STX trim F-150, so the most affordable 2025 F-150 Lobo you should purchase begins at $59,995, together with $2,195 for vacation spot and supply. Contemplating the gear included in that value, most of that are extra-cost choices on STX trim F-150s, it isn’t a foul deal as long as sellers do not mark up costs.

All F-150 Lobos could have the SuperCrew cab with 4 full doorways and a 5.5-foot mattress, and the bundle features a two-speed computerized 4-wheel-drive system, rear suspension that is two inches decrease than normal, a brand new twin exhaust, and that naturally aspirated V8 that produces 400 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. Outdoors, the Lobo positive factors a 10-piece physique package, reworked higher and decrease grilles, a singular entrance gentle bar, a vented cowl hood, and 22-inch wheels.

Ford admits the Lobo bundle is simply the beginning
Whereas I am glad Ford is formally acknowledging the cultural significance of personalized avenue vans in providing a Lobo bundle with a manufacturing facility guarantee, I am unable to assist however really feel that this effort is a bit half-hearted. When parked subsequent to the rad-looking Maverick Lobo, the F-150 Lobo simply would not look very like a avenue truck to me. I envisioned a slammed F-150 with additional energy and a extra throwback look, however as an alternative we get no further energy, a lowered suspension solely on the rear, huge wheels and a physique package. I get that it isn’t more likely to be a giant money cow for Ford so it would not justify huge funding, however I nonetheless want Ford went additional to show it into a correct badass avenue truck. Do you agree or am I being grasping? Who is aware of, possibly there’s one thing extra excessive within the works.
The corporate does envisage the Lobo as being a terrific place to begin for house owners who wish to customise their vans, although. Ford says, “We built-in important, typically expensive modifications and dealt with the updates usually difficult for house owners, delivering an entire basis straight off the road. Whereas Lobo is prepared for the highway simply as it’s, we all know some will take this nice basis for future personalization.” If you happen to’re seeking to get your arms on an F-150 Lobo, Ford says will probably be out there for buy within the fall of this yr.
