2025 F-150 Raptor (deleted/moved features) — with pictures

[Menace]

Well I was hoping these deleted/moved around features were only limited to the 2025 F-150s and not Raptors but I was wrong. Here’s a 2025 F-150 Raptor. So far here’s what changed so far:

-Door keypad no longer factory installed; optional and only dealer installed.

-Auto Start/Stop button moved to headlight switch knob, therefore Pro Power and tailgate button is deleted/removed.

-Top buttons above infotainment screen moved down to volume knob, therefore your screen off button and 2 other buttons are deleted. There’s now a large blank plate in place of the top bar (above infotainment) where those buttons used to be.

Whoa that’s not good. Gigantic blank right in the middle of the dash??

Exactly what I said when I saw it. I was hoping it wasn’t true but lo and behold. Yes gigantic blank right in the middle of the dash!

Brutal, that blank looks awful.

I also was wondering if they really blacked out the front marker lights they showed in all the production pictures, doesn’t look like it - happy I went with a ‘24.

Meh... The top buttons are covered up by my phone most of the time, which sucks when I want to use the trailer cam. That is not a hill I would die on.

The rest of the stuff I don't use anyway, other than the keypad. Them's fighting words!

FYI - When I was debating on getting the 25 (went with a 24), the keypad was a deal breaker for me. However I started looking into the possibility of using the 21-24 pillar with keypad, but then just got a 24 so I stopped investigating. However for those that get a 25, look into maybe seeing if you can just buy the pillar with keypad and maybe you can get it to work (not sure about wiring)

I do not get the draw. In 8 years I have yet to use the key pad on the door. It’s strange the “little things” that tend to make or break a buy for us.

I think for me it was the ’21+ marrying of the tailgate step to the moon roof. I’ve only had one problem with the moon roof - which was MY lack of maintenance. It would be nice if Ford had called out that you need FREQUENT maintenance on a moon roof this big but by ’18 or ’19 when I broke mine I could easily have paid attention to the legions of posts about it.. My bad. Still, I don’t use it, didn’t want it to begin with, it’s noisy, heavy and I don’t want it in my next Rap.

That pushed off my thoughts about a new Rap. I did look at a ’24 and they now give you the step without moonroof again, but I gotta agree, that screen dash button blank section looks dumb.

What’s the big deal with the door key pad though?

All the Ford's I've ever owned I have never used the key pad, just my phone. I could see it being a plus if I needed to lock everything in my truck and not having a phone on me to go biking etc.

Ford's answer to the dealer installed peel & stick key pay is unacceptable for the price of their vehicles. My vote would be to just add more to the cost or delete it.

Every time i get rid of a Ford product, the keypad is the thing i miss the most. Very convenient when you want to leave your keys with the car....Airport, marina, gym etc.
