Leasing the 2025 Ford F-150: Heavy-Duty Excellence

Jul 21, 2025

For years, the Ford F-150 has been known for its power and prestige. This year’s model comes packed with features designed to elevate your driving experience and give you more capability than ever. The question isn’t whether you should get the new F-150; it’s whether you should buy or lease it. Here’s why leasing the 2025 Ford F-150 makes sense.

Even though the majority of people buy their vehicles traditionally, recent data shows that as many as 30% of all new purchase transactions are leases. The number of pickup trucks leased has also doubled in the last five years and is expected to continue rising.


Monthly Payments Are Often Lower with a Lease 

When you take out an auto loan to buy a truck, the entire cost of the vehicle is spread out over your loan term. Once the loan is paid, you own the truck. With a lease, you only have to cover the cost of using the vehicle for the duration of your lease. The truck gets returned to the dealership at the end of the leasing period, which typically offers drivers lower monthly payments.


Maintenance and Repairs Are Less of a Worry 

Leased trucks are generally newer and almost always still covered by the manufacturer’s original warranty. If anything goes wrong, the parts and labor for major repairs are usually covered. That said, leasing allows you to drive the truck during its least problematic years, so aside from routine maintenance, you won’t have to worry about much else.


You’re Protected from Vehicle Depreciation Costs 

Depreciation refers to a vehicle’s loss of value over time, starting from when it was sold to its first owner and driven off the lot. The more miles a vehicle is driven and the more wear and tear it sustains, the less value it retains. Ultimately, depreciation means you can never sell your truck for as much as you originally paid for it. But with a leased vehicle, this loss of value is assumed by the dealership.


You Can Buy the Truck at the End of the Lease If You Choose

Many leasing arrangements offer the option to purchase at the end of the lease period, usually for less than the original ticketed price. If you want to make sure your truck can meet your needs in different situations, leasing is a great way to really get to know a vehicle before you make a purchase.
