Ford Goes Even More Premium With Super Duty Platinum Plus Pickups

2025 Ford F-350 Super Duty Platinum Plus
It's no secret that the main reason Ford, General Motors and Stellantis' US operations are still in business is the enormous profits they make on big trucks and SUVs. Without the huge margins all three make, especially from the more premium trims of these behemoths, especially the trucks that have been protected by the 25% 'chicken tax' tariff, they would have to compete more aggressively in other market segments. Ford is now learning from airlines and trying to extract even more from their most affluent customers with a Platinum Plus package on its Super Duty pickups.

For the 2025 model year, Ford discontinued the Limited trim on its full-size pickup trucks and replaced it with a new Platinum Plus add-on package to the Platinum trim level. F-150s have been available with Platinum Plus since last fall and Super Duty customers will start taking delivery in the next few weeks.

So what does Platinum Plus get you on a 2025 F-250, F-350 or F-450? It's the most luxurious version of a Ford pickup but the real differentiator is an improved customer experience. All Platinum Plus Super Duty trucks get the high-output 6.7-liter diesel V8 and four-wheel-drive with unique 20-inch painted aluminum wheels. They also come with a premium leather interior package in a dark tan color scheme that Ford calls 'smoked truffle.' The leather is on the seats, door panels, grab handles, upper dashboard, and center console.

Inside the front doors there are illuminated scuff plates, and the front seats are Ford's max recline setup that basically lets you lay flat to take a rest. A 2-kW Pro Power system provides several plugs in the bed to power tools and other equipment.

As mentioned, the real differentiator is the Platinum Plus Experience. Every customer that opts for the package gets:
The goal according to Ford is to 'deepen customer engagement' and keep them loyal to the brand in an increasingly competitive market.

Getting this sort of hands-on treatment doesn't come cheap. The F-250 Platinum Plus starts at $99,455 including a $2,095 delivery charge. The F-350 starts at $100,955 and the F-450 goes for $105,630. On top of the Platinum Plus package, customers can also add other packages such as the Tremor or FX4 off-road packages, the vehicle integration system, a 12,000 Warn winch, retractable tonneau cover and more. Super Duty Platinum Plus pickups are available to order now and will be shipping to dealers shortly.

Ford Apparently Doesn't Care About Engines Anymore

Read the full story on The Auto Wire We have bad news for Ford fans: a top executive just said the automaker doesn't care about engines anymore. His justification is that consumers don't care about them, either. And boy, do people have a lot of hot takes about at a recent Bernstein conference, Ford Vice Chair John Lawler shared his controversial thoughts. 'I don't think that consumers really think about powertrains the way they did 30 years ago. Where combustion engines defined what a vehicle was; the horsepower, the displacement, the torque, and everything about the vehicle; I think a lot of that is gone.' As Ford and other Western automakers face the looming threat of Chinese brands which sell vehicles at unbelievably low prices, the Blue Oval and others are looking for every competitive advantage possible. That includes outsourcing engine development and manufacturing to suppliers. In other words, your Ford might have the exact same engine as a Honda or Chevy or Kia. Lawler believes car shoppers won't care. Unfortunately, we think for a portion of the market this is true. For some people, all they care about is when they push the ignition button the car turns on and it goes. They don't know or care about how many cylinders it has, the displacement, or how much power it makes. But there's always been a subset of society that has this kind of attitude. Suddenly, Lawler and others in the industry believe they should cater to them, but really it's a pretense. The real reason isn't because there are consumers who don't care about engines. What it comes down to is automakers are scared spitless they're going to get mowed over by Chinese automakers. Instead of leaning into what they do best and riding out the storm, they're going to try beating the Chinese at their game. It's a dumb move. The thing is your average person who buys a Nissan Rogue or some other beige vehicle doesn't care about the engine, until they do. If the thing is sluggish because it doesn't make much power and they have trouble merging onto the highway, they care. If the engine blows up at 80,000 miles because it was engineered or manufactured poorly, they care. They might not obsess over engine specs like enthusiasts, but there's a reason why Toyota sells so many Camrys: everyone knows they're super reliable and that's largely because of the proprietary engine design. Take that away and what is the Camry? It's revealing how the automotive media is largely agreeing with Lawler, even if begrudgingly because they've all bought into the narrative that electric cars are inevitably the future. That's the other thing driving this move. Automakers want to justify killing off internal combustion engines and taking away resources to further develop them is a wonderful way to do that. But Ford and others can't just turn away from ICE engines. They have to turn public opinion against them, salting the earth for Toyota or anyone else who might try to keep innovating in that space. They want to force the industry into electrification now that EV mandates won't be happening. We hope they fail and miserably so. Long live ICE.

The Unexpected Generations Paying Top Dollar for Auto Loans

Experian reported at the end of 2024 that monthly average car payments were $742 for new vehicles and $545 for used ones, but new data from auto refinancing company Caribou has shown that the amounts that different generations pay vary more than you might think. Caribou's study included Gen Z, born between 1997 and 2012, millennials, born from 1981 to 1996, Gen X, born between 1965 and 1980, and baby boomers, born from 1946 to 1964. In its report, Caribou cited Gen Z as spending the largest share of their income on car payments, but millennials were listed as having bigger average loan balances at $38,600. Gen Z was listed as spending the least monthly income on vehicle payments, and baby boomers had the highest average credit score at 735. According to Caribou, Gen Z drivers are most likely to be behind the wheel of a Honda Civic, with an average loan amount of $32,069 and having a 14.05% APR. Millennials were cited as frequently driving a Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and taking on loans with a 12.44% APR. Their higher loan balances can be attributed to the colliding costs of education, housing, and family. Gen X is described as carrying the most significant original loan amounts due to a fondness for larger trucks like the Ford F-150, but these higher starting costs meant the demographic was more likely to achieve the highest monthly savings after refinancing at $147. Next to Gen Z, baby boomers took out the lowest loans at $35,844 on average, and they carried the lowest APR of 11.91%, aligning with millennials in their preference for the Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Caribou evaluated what these generations' auto loans looked like after refinancing by accessing its customers with good credit scores and steady incomes who refinanced their auto loans in 2024. Gen X scored the highest average refinance monthly savings of $147, with millennials following at $143, and baby boomers and Gen Z logging $131 and $126 average monthly refinance savings, respectively. Gen X and baby boomers were tied for the lowest monthly refinance APR at 8.39%, while millennials landed at 8.42%, and Gen Z at 8.50%. Across the board, annual percentage rate (APR) reductions ranged from 3.51 to 5.56 percentage points. "Car payments are one of the biggest monthly expenses for millions of Americans, and for too long, people have assumed they're stuck with the rate they got at the dealership. Our data shows that drivers of all ages can unlock real savings by refinancing. This isn't just some money hack; it's a necessity for many households," said Simon Goodall, CEO of Caribou. While refinancing might pose upfront costs that increase your overall loan cost, Caribou's data shows that generations from baby boomers to Gen Z can benefit from the practice. Higher original loan balances mean larger payments earlier in a borrowing term, but they can also lead to greater savings through refinancing. Caribou's report also illustrates that Gen Z drivers face unique affordability challenges with their pattern of spending larger shares of their monthly income on car payments despite lower loan amounts. Baby boomers exhibited strength in multiple categories on account of their stronger average credit scores. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Are Ford and GM Still American?

For decades, Ford and General Motors have been symbols of American industry, blue-collar pride, and heartland grit. From the rugged Ford F-150 to the all-American Chevy, the Detroit Big Three — Ford, GM, and Chrysler (now part of Stellantis) — have dominated the auto market with vehicles built and sold across the United States. The Ford F-150 is a cultural symbol. For many, Detroit remains the heartland of the U.S. auto industry, a perception reinforced by billions of dollars in recent investments aimed at conquering the electric and autonomous vehicle markets. But a new ranking calls that entire identity into question. The annual American-Made Index from now in its 20th year, was just released, and it paints a startling picture. The list, which ranks vehicles based on factors like U.S. factory jobs, manufacturing plants, and the percentage of domestic parts, reveals how 'American' a car truly is. And this year, the results are a PR nightmare for the old guard. In a top 20 list dominated by Tesla, the legacy American brands are almost nowhere to be found. GM managed to place just one vehicle, the Chevy Colorado pickup, at a lowly number 19. Ford has no models in the top 20 at all. Meanwhile, every single Tesla model—except the Cybertruck—made the list, with the Model 3 taking the top spot. Even Stellantis saved face with the Jeep Gladiator and Wrangler, both assembled in Toledo, Ohio. Meanwhile, Japanese and Korean automakers—including Honda, Toyota, Nissan, and Kia—also placed strongly, with several models assembled in American plants. This ranking lands at a politically charged time. President Donald J. Trump has launched a new trade war, recently imposing a 25% tariff on all imported cars that went into effect on April 3. The administration has championed an 'America First' manufacturing philosophy, yet the country's most iconic automakers are building cars that are, by this metric, less American than their foreign competitors. When contacted by Gizmodo, both GM and Ford deflected, choosing to highlight their investments and job creation numbers rather than address their poor showing in the ranking. 'We've added approximately 13,000 jobs in the US since 2008,' a Ford spokesperson said, noting that the company employs more hourly autoworkers than anyone else in the U.S. '80% of the vehicles we sell in the U.S are assembled here.' GM pointed to a recent announcement promising a $4 billion investment in its domestic plants. 'We've been committed to American manufacturing and are expanding production in the US,' a spokesperson told Gizmodo. To be fair, both companies are massive U.S. employers. At the end of 2024, GM employed 90,000 people in the country (56% of its global workforce), while Ford employed nearly 89,000 (52% of its total). GM is still the largest automaker in the U.S. by market share. But criteria are about more than just assembly. It scrutinizes the origins of engines and transmissions and the percentage of U.S. and Canadian parts. The website warns that 'just because a model may be made in a U.S. assembly plant doesn't necessarily mean it's exclusively made here.' For companies that have built their brands on a foundation of American identity, the fact that their vehicles don't even crack the top 15 is a terrible look. It suggests that in the globalized auto industry, the 'American-made' label is far more complicated than it seems.
