Our team at Chalmers Ford has compiled this comprehensive guide to help you discover this iconic model.
History and Heritage of the King Ranch Edition
Ford and King Ranch formed their partnership in 1999, with the first King Ranch F-150 SuperCrew arriving in 2001. Both brands brought strong reputations to this collaboration.
Founded in 1853 near Corpus Christi by Captain Richard King, the ranch's famous "Running W" brand logo (officially registered on Feb. 9, 1869) now adorns Ford's premium trucks. King Ranch currently uses more than 350 Ford vehicles across its properties in Texas, Florida, New Mexico, and South Carolina.
Ford sells 16% of its trucks in Texas, with 40% of all King Ranch sales occurring in the Lone Star State. The trim has evolved while keeping its Texan roots, drawing buyers who want luxury trucks with Western style. You'll also find King Ranch trim levels in the Ford Expedition and Super Duty line.
What Makes the King Ranch Trim Unique?
The exterior of the 2025 F-150 King Ranch is defined by its specialty grille and King Ranch badges. Inside, premium Del Rio leather and wood accents evoke a ranch house aesthetic.

Advanced safety systems such as Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 and BlueCruise hands-free highway driving make driving safer and easier.
Under the hood sits a 3.5L EcoBoost V-6 producing 400 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. The King Ranch also provides luxury features such as heated and ventilated seats, power-deployable running boards, and a twin-panel moonroof, balancing work capability with comfort.

King Ranch Leather Trim Details
The Del Rio leather in the 2025 F-150 King Ranch sets it apart from other F-150 models. Soft yet tough, this premium material covers the seats, steering wheel, and armrests, creating a unified luxury feel. This leather's special tanning process gives it an authentic saddle appearance. It not only looks distinctive, it offers increased durability, successfully bringing Western heritage to life in both style and function.
Unique Badging and Accents
King Ranch trucks come with quality badges on the fenders and tailgate. These premium emblems add sophistication to the vehicle's exterior. Inside, logo embroidery appears on the seats and floor mats, wood grain inserts warm up the dash and door panels, and bronze accent paint creates an eye-catching two-tone effect. Together, these elements form a design that honors Western roots while maintaining a modern look.
Optional Packages and Accessories
You can personalize your King Ranch with various packages and accessories. The tech-oriented packages enhance the infotainment and driver-assistance systems, including Co-Pilot360 2.0 and BlueCruise. Towing packages boost your hauling capability for when you need extra pulling power, and for better trail handling, add the FX4 Off-Road Package. A range of accessories are available, including trailer tow mirrors, skid plates, and bed hooks, just to name a few. With these choices, your King Ranch can be tailored to fit any lifestyle.
