Omg. Looks like a Pep Boys 19.99 optional equipment adder.

For me, they can drop the paddle shifters. Having a switch on the shifter knob like the Gen 1's is adequate. They are more of a novelty item and I have never needed to use them even during the Raptor Assault course. My '23 R would be the same beast without them.

I haven't had a Ford for my last 3 vehicles, so I don't mind the changes too much. I did use the keypad on my '18 Raptor, but I haven't had a Ford since then so I don't miss it. I do think the button layout was better on the '24. The previous location for the camera button looks like it would be easier to find quickly.
The one thing I want to try to add is the lighted USB ports in the phone charger cubby. The '25 ditched the lights around the ports which makes them impossible to see at night. I'm guessing I can just buy the '24 part and it will be plug and play. I did something similar with a '16 Platinum when updating it to use CarPlay.
I think the '24 is a little better than the '25, but the changes are pretty small. The only real features that are lost are the lights around the USB ports and bed cleats. Sure, the keypad is now and option which feels very cheap on Ford's part. The rest of the changes are just in the way to access features. Some buttons moved and some went to the screen. Since I trade every 2 to 3 years, it made more sense to get the newest year model I could assuming the pricing was fairly close between the '24 and '25.

The oem ones from 20+ years ago look better than that.

WTH? That's factory? I thought that was some aftermarket stuff. I need to see them further away but from this angle looks terrible.
Do you happen to have the part number for the lighted USB port in the phone charger cubby?

Not yet. I haven't done any digging. Hopefully the '24 is plug and play in a '25.
Not sure what year this started, but the double horn honk when getting out of a running truck can be turned off on the ‘25s.
Not an added/deleted feature, but the shifting seems smoother, especially shifting and downshifting in sport mode. I do miss the little exhaust growl my 22 would make downshifting in sport mode though.

I saw that posted on a Facebook groups of a 2025 king ranch dealer install , I called my dealer today and he said he thinks ford is gonna bring the key pad back because consumers and dealerships in the south are not happy about it . I use my truck for work and the key pad is a must because a lot of places still don’t have cell service .
