Ford has retained its leading position for another year, thanks to both the F-150 and Super Duty HD models. Nevertheless, competition is intensifying, with Ram introducing updates to its 1500 series for the 2025 model year, including the new Ramcharger and 1500 REV.
GM also contends for the top spot by including the GMC Sierra in its lineup, aiming to surpass the F-Series. In response, Ford has refreshed its 2024 F-150 lineup, offering various trim tiers with updated designs and additional features.
The Super Duty enters its fifth generation with new engine options, including a 6.8-liter gasoline V8, a high-output 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel, and the powerful 7.3-liter Godzilla V8. However, the question remains: are these updates sufficient to maintain Ford’s dominance?
Ram is not resting either, promising remarkable innovations for the 1500 series, such as the high-output 540-hp Hurricane inline-six turbo engine, the plug-in EV Ramcharger with a range extender, and the all-electric 1500 REV.
These advancements may extend to the Ram HD models, presenting a more sustainable lineup than Ford’s. Chevy and GMC have enhanced their Silverado HD and Sierra HD models with off-road-focused variants like the ZR2 and ZR2 Bison, along with the AT4X and AT4X AEV Editions.
Moreover, there are speculations among digital content creators about the potential for Ford to introduce Lightning versions of its F-250 and F-350 Super Duty models, enhancing their sustainability.
For instance, the AutoYa info channel on YouTube has envisioned the possibility of a Super Duty Lightning, mirroring the design and features of the F-150 Lightning.
This hypothetical model could feature upgrades like a larger central screen and a more powerful powertrain, offering increased performance and range. Whether such a model would appeal to consumers remains to be seen.
