2025 Ford F-150 Lobo Brings Back the V8 Street Truck
Just don't think of it as an XL-sized Maverick Lobo.
Ford late Thursday evening revealed the latest addition to the F-Series family, the 2025 F-150 Lobo. As the name implies, this new model takes the F-150 in a street truck direction we haven't seen in roughly 20 years.
Like the new (and hilariously fun) Maverick Lobo, the F-150 Lobo sees a significant suspension drop, in this case two inches out back. On top of that, Ford has crafted a 10-piece bodykit to bring the Lobo closer to terra firma. This includes a jutting lower lip spoiler below a gloss-black mesh grille, a revised main grille with light-up elements, and a vented hood with black accents. Big, black 22-inch alloy wheels fill the arches and are unique to Lobo—but no, they're not turbofans. Dual exhaust tips poke out from the back bumper, which Ford says is a direct response to customer feedback.
Under the skin, the Lobo runs the 5.0-liter V8, putting down 400 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque through an upgraded two-range 4WD system. The 3.73 rear axle ratiois standard here. This isn't its own model a la Maverick; instead, F-150 Lobo is a package atop the STX trim, available only as a SuperCrew. No trick leftover bits from the Focus RS here: the F-150 Lobo is more about offering folks the look and feel of a classic street truck in the full-size pickup segment. To that end, max towing for the F-150 Lobo is 7,900 pounds, while the maximum payload is 1,450 pounds.
Our first question, though: will it be known as the Lobo Lobo in Mexico?
The 2025 Ford F-150 Lobo will be available at dealers this autumn, priced from $59,995 including destination. That makes the Lobo package an additional $4,695 over the standard STX. It will be available in five colors: Oxford White, Carbonized Gray, Agate Black Metallic, Atlas Blue Metallic, and Rapid Red.
