Scorching on the heels of the badass Maverick Lobo compact road truck, Ford introduced the brand new 2025 F-150 Lobo road truck on Thursday evening. Sadly, just like the Maverick Lobo, the F-150 Lobo would not achieve any further energy over different F-150s, however seeing as there seems to be a ceasefire within the battle towards the V8, no less than the full-size Lobo does have Ford’s 5.0-liter V8 underneath its hood.
Choosing the Lobo package deal will add $4,695 to the worth of an STX trim F-150, so the most affordable 2025 F-150 Lobo you should buy begins at $59,995, together with $2,195 for vacation spot and supply. Contemplating the tools included in that value, most of that are extra-cost choices on STX trim F-150s, it is not a nasty 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 package deal features a two-speed computerized 4-wheel-drive system, rear suspension that is two inches decrease than customary, a brand new twin exhaust, and that naturally aspirated V8 that produces 400 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. Exterior, the Lobo features a 10-piece physique package, reworked higher and decrease grilles, a singular entrance gentle bar, a vented cowl hood, and 22-inch wheels. F-150 Lobos can be obtainable in 5 paint colours: Agate Black Metallic, Atlas Blue Metallic, Carbonized Grey, Oxford White, and Fast Crimson Metallic Tinted Clearcoat.
Ford admits the Lobo package deal is simply the beginning
Whereas I am glad Ford is formally acknowledging the cultural significance of custom-made road vans in providing a Lobo package deal with a manufacturing unit guarantee, I can not 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 similar to a road truck to me. I envisioned a slammed F-150 with additional energy and a extra throwback look, however as a substitute we get no further energy, a lowered suspension solely on the rear, large wheels and a physique package. I get that it is not prone to be a giant money cow for Ford so it would not justify large funding, however I nonetheless want Ford went additional to show it into a correct badass road 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 an amazing place to begin for homeowners who wish to customise their vans, although. Ford says, “We built-in vital, typically expensive modifications and dealt with the updates sometimes difficult for homeowners, delivering an entire basis straight off the road. Whereas Lobo is prepared for the street simply as it’s, we all know some will take this nice basis for future personalization.” In the event you’re trying to get your palms on an F-150 Lobo, Ford says it is going to be obtainable for buy within the fall of this yr.
