Finally achieved my dream of getting a truck! Brand new 2025 F-150 XLT Powerboost, in the best color ever, Rapid red


Congratulations! Sick truck sick color welcomed to the squad

That red reminds me of my red Mazda 3 and now I wish my grey truck was red.

Congrats!! Truck looks great

Rapid red gang

Sharp ride brotha, you’ll never buy anything besides an F150 again.

Rapid Red FTW

Rapid red crew!

Congrats! I also wanted a 2025 but they only had 2024 and I was told nothing would change so I went with a 2024! Hope you enjoy it as much as I am enjoying mine! Welcome to feeling like King of the road!

That red I can get behind, the regular red doesn’t do it for me.

2024 has the best front end.

Definitely better than the predecessor.

Race Red would argue with you. It’s not available anymore, though. So this is the best color available. Haha.

That’s a 2025 model? So you got the dealer-installed door keypad?

That’s a typo, it’s my bad, this is a 2024, I wanted that one so I could get the automatic keypad, I had it on my Bronco previously and it was amazing. Got lucky and found this model on a dealer’s lot.

Since it’s a 2024 with the 502a technology package, the keypad came with the XLT, I think? This truck was a floor model, I didn’t order it.

Ford took away the keypad as a factory-installed option for 2025. One of many ways in the last couple of years Ford has cut corners. Now if you want the keypad it has to be installed by a dealer for $500.

How does the red paint hold up? My 2010 faded. I’ve seen some of the older F150s almost turned pink. I really want to get red for my next one. Just curious how it holds up these days.

I had a 2021 Bronco sport first edition as my previous car, with this exact same rapid red. After 100,000 miles, that car saw some serious off-roading and some major snow storms, and I can say happily that I barely even have a single chip in the paint. On this new F-150, I got the APP paint protection, which will make it even hardier, but Ford did a good job with the red paint, it certainly is hardy.
