The 2025 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season was the 31st season of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, a pickup truck racing series sanctioned by NASCAR in the United States. The season started on February 14 with the Fresh From Florida 250 at Daytona International Speedway and ended with the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Championship Race on October 31 at Phoenix Raceway.
Ty Majeski is the defending champion after winning the 2024 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series title. Gio Ruggiero of Tricon Garage won NASCAR Rookie of the Year honors. Ruggiero's teammate, Corey Heim, won both the Regular Season Championship and the 2025 championship, capping off one of the most historic seasons in NASCAR history.
This season also saw the debut of a new radio network, the NASCAR Racing Network, a collaboration between Motor Racing Network (who previously broadcast the entire Truck Series schedule on the radio) and Performance Racing Network, to broadcast the entire Truck Series schedule starting at Atlanta.
This was the last year with three manufacturers, as Ram announced on June 8, 2025 that they will return to the series in 2026.

With the season-finale at Phoenix being on October 31, the season finished in the month of October for the first time since 2000.
On February 21, 2025, Motor Racing Network and Performance Racing Network, the two radio networks to broadcast NASCAR races, announced that they would team up to broadcast the entire Truck Series schedule collaboratively starting at Atlanta (with the season-opener at Daytona already having been run) as the NASCAR Racing Network. Previously, the NASCAR-owned MRN had broadcast the entire Truck Series schedule, unlike the Cup and Xfinity Series, where PRN would broadcast all races in those two series at tracks owned by Speedway Motorsports, who also owns PRN.
