Just took possession of a 2025 Lariat EB, 4K tow package, sunroof and black appearance package.
Trying to figure out if it has the auto-hold function. There is no button or switch anywhere that would indicate it has this feature.
Anyone know what I should be looking for?

On my 25 hybrid the auto hold button is the row of buttons with the volume knob and the camera button.

Mine is that last button on the right with a hand in a circle.

Looks like if you have pro trailer assist then it is the first button on the left instead. Image attached of pro trailer

Tried that, didn't seem to work. Is there something else that needs to be enabled?

With it turned on when I come to a complete stop in drive take my foot off the brake and it will hold the truck. Doesn’t work in reverse
I only really bother with it when in stop in go traffic/red light when going up a hill.

No idea on the MY25. I use the feature occasionally on my MY22, there is no icon/button on the dash, but when i'm on an incline stopped at a red light etc I just press the brake pedal firmly and let go. It keeps it stopped and will release when i touch the accelerator. I guess back in MY22 when i finally got my truck i turned it on as described below. So once set On or Off it must stay on that setting since I know I haven't changed anything since then.

Per the MY22 Manual:

AUTO HOLD
Auto Hold can assist you while stopping at traffic lights
or while in traffic jams by holding the brakes when you
stop the vehicle. You can switch the system on and off
by accessing the DRIVER ASSISTANCE menu on the
touchscreen. When the system is on and actively holding
the vehicle, the icon displays. When you press the
accelerator pedal, Auto Hold automatically releases the
brakes. In certain situations, Auto Hold may apply the
electric parking brake and illuminate the brake warning
lamp in the instrument cluster.

Basically just pressing the button
That should be enough to engage. AutoHold only works when the truck is at a complete stop. It disengages when the accelerator is pressed.

You should have an icon on the screen that shows it activated also.

Auto hold + Start Stop makes waiting at lights and drive thrus easy

It deactivates every time you hit the gas?

No. It releases the hold when you hit the gas, but the next time you come to a complete stop it holds the brakes again, so you can take your foot off the brake pedal.

I learned something today, there is a button! It would have come in handy on a boat ramp while pulling my boat out. I've had other vehicles that it was always on. Perhaps the hybrid ECVT is the reason for the manual button?

Mine is on the far right in the row of buttons next to the radio control.
