Ford brings back the spirit of 90s performance trucks.

The 2025 F-150 Lobo is the full-size street truck everyone has been waiting for for years. Starting at $74,590 with all options, the Lobo marks the return of a wilder driving experience, closer to the old SVT Lightning of the 90s.

A V8 under the bonnet
Yes, the Lobo keeps its V8, with a 5.0L engine producing 400 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque. That classic powertrain is paired with all-wheel drive — sorry, rear-wheel-drive purists — and a reinforced 2-speed transfer case.

The Lobo isn't just a show truck; it's built for work, with a towing capacity of up to 7,900 lb and a payload of up to 1,450 lb.

A lower, more aggressive style
It's impossible to confuse it with a classic F-150. This version has been lowered by two inches and is reinforced by a ten-piece body kit. The ground clearance appears even more reduced, while the truck sits on 22-inch black-painted wheels. These are shod with Bridgestone Alenza 275/50 all-season tires — sufficient, without offering the grip of true summer tires.

A sinister look
The Lobo has all the hallmarks of a muscle car with its bulging bonnet, black air intakes, dark wing badges and black cannon-shaped exhaust. The rear bumper is also painted black, reinforcing the variant’s sinister appearance.

The grille, meanwhile, is unique: it features lighting elements connecting to the headlights—something not found on other F-150s.

A refined and sporty cabin
Inside, the Lobo maintains the rugged vibe but adds more than a pinch of refinement. The fabric seats feature contrasting yellow stitching, while the console lid is leather-trimmed and the dashboard is topped with a sporty-looking trim.

The driver faces a digital dashboard and a 12.0-inch infotainment screen—identical to those in standard F-150s.

Five colours and a unique configuration
The F-150 Lobo is offered in five colours: Agate Black, Atlas Blue, Carbonized Gray, Oxford White and Rapid Red. This version belongs to the STX offer, which means the Lobo comes with a SuperCrew cab, 5.5-foot bed and a V8-plus-4x4 powertrain.

Production begins this coming fall at Ford’s Dearborn plant in Michigan.
