You don't really mention what is important to you other than front tow hooks, so it's very difficult to give you any meaningful advice. A list of your top 5, better yet, 10, priorities, would be helpful.

Tow a boat, salt water ramps if tide out slippery.
Need to go over mountain pass in winter.

OK, well, it really doesn't matter then, just pick the one you like, either will work just fine.

How long are you planning to keep the vehicle? If you're not planning to keep it past around the powertrain warranty, and there was strong financial incentive on the 24', I would definitely take it. Sure the tech is better in the 25', but personally I kinda like the no-frills nature of sync3, and physical buttons for most things. A $12 usb to wireless android auto / carplay adapter solved my only complaint.

If you want to keep the vehicle for a long, long time, the port injection added to the 25' model is a bigger deal, as no matter what regimen you follow with direct injection only, intake valves will get carbon fouled.

Bingo. The redesigned EcoBoost engine is the biggest reason to go with the 2025!

Going to dealer today…Still undecided. Might go with the 2025 hybrid with tow package.
