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

I'm so glad I found this thread. I was ready to order a '25 Raptor (wanted the Space White) but I ended up going with a '24 Shelter Green that was at a dealer near me that I'll be picking up next week. I could live without the door keypad (although I do like the feature and used it regularly on my '18) but the empty buttons above the infotainment screen just looks so cheap. Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting back into a Raptor and I'm glad I'll have one with all of the buttons, lol.

Congrats on new Raptor. One of my business associates got a shelter green a few months ago, and seeing his truck really pushed me over the edge to order a Raptor.

I agree that the big blank next to the buttons over the screen looks out of place. I don't really notice it while driving, so it isn't a huge deal. I could see the new button layout being an advantage for someone who uses the phone or ipad mount that comes out on an arm from above the screen like Builtright sells.

You can probably still order that bank of buttons from a 2024. They probably won't have any functionality, but at least they'll look better.

Here's one of the missing buttons:

I think having non-functional buttons would bug me more than the big blank. I will likely just leave it alone and hope the Gen 4 still actually has physical buttons when I'm ready to change. I'm not digging the trend of putting every control in the screen.

Interesting, I'm the opposite. I'd rather have a button that lights up and looks normal, because I'll never actually push it.

I kind of have to agree to this. Rather have blank than non functional fake button.

When I went from a 2018 801a raptor that got totaled to a 2020 801a I was annoyed that some things were changed/omitted- the door trim pieces above the handle were like a faux carbon fiber on my 2018, but on my 2020 they were like a very basic plain grey no texture/pattern, for some reason they cheaped out on the seats my 2018 had full leather everywhere but the 2020 has this ventilated mesh BS on the bottom seat bolsters- obvious cost cutting, BUT on the other hand the 2020 801a had live valve shocks, it had the bigger digital gauge cluster screen, it had an electronic instead of manual parking brake etc etc

It’s a give & take- is there anything that’s standard on later year trims that wasn’t on earlier w/ the Gen3s?

Also…I don’t have a ****** plastic oil pan or cam phasers that WILL shit the bed….so there’s that!
