The 2025 Caterpillar pickup truck has been officially revealed, carving its spot as one of the toughest and most powerful pickups on the market. It mixes the iconic ruggedness Caterpillar is known for with advanced technology and modern design, making it a standout for both worksites and everyday driving.
First Look and Design
Revealed last month at a major construction expo in Las Vegas, the truck turns heads with its bold industrial design. It sports the signature Caterpillar yellow paint with sleek black accents, giving it both a classic and aggressive look. The front grille is massive and sturdy, boldly displaying the Cat logo, framed by sharp, laser-cut LED headlights. Its body combines sharp lines and curves, projecting strength yet sophistication, suitable for tough terrains as well as city streets.
Engine and Towing Power
Under the hood, the 2025 Caterpillar pickup offers multiple formidable engine choices:
- A 6.7-liter turbocharged V8 diesel engine producing up to 500 horsepower and an astonishing 1,200 lb-ft of torque.
- Other options include a gas-powered V8, hybrids, and even an electric variant for eco-conscious buyers.
These engines are paired with advanced 10-speed automatic transmissions and 4-wheel drive, delivering seamless power and control. Performance-wise, the truck boasts zero to 60 mph in under 6 seconds, impressive for a vehicle of its size.
The towing capacity is equally formidable, rated up to 20,000 to 35,000 pounds depending on the configuration, making it capable of handling the toughest haul jobs and trailers.
Price Range
Starting from around $48,000 to $55,000 for the base gasoline crew cab model, the price increases with diesel or hybrid options, reaching between $70,000 and $90,000. Fully loaded versions with luxury cabins, advanced infotainment, adaptive cruise control, 360-degree cameras, and more can easily hit the $100,000 mark. Despite these prices, Caterpillar promises durability and warranty coverage up to 100,000 miles, offering value built on reliability and longevity.
