Heavy-duty trucks handle jobs that go well beyond the demands placed on an everyday pickup. We've got what you need to know about changes in the Ford Super Duty for the 2027 model year. It's the Alan Jay Way!
Key Takeaways:
- Ford reduces the Super Duty's engine lineup to V8 only.
- Properly equipped models can tow as much as 40,000 pounds.
- The new Carhartt Edition adds exclusive wheels, badging, and interior materials.
Are There Super Duty Updates for 2027?
According to Car and Driver, Ford eliminated two of the Super Duty's engines for the new model year. The 6.8-liter V8 is no longer offered, and neither is the lower-output version of the 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel. That leaves buyers with just two V8 choices.
The notable addition to the lineup is the Carhartt Edition, which draws its inspiration from the workwear company. Unique 20-inch wheels and Carhartt badging feature on the outside, while exclusive materials give the cabin its own look.
How Do the Remaining V8 Engines Compare?
The standard 430-hp 7.3-liter V8 produces 485 lb-ft, while the available 500-hp 6.7-liter Power Stroke turbodiesel V8 generates 1,200 lb-ft. Both engines pair with a 10-speed automatic and can be configured with either single or dual rear wheels.
Drivers who need additional capability away from the pavement can select the Tremor Off-Road Package. It adds a factory lift, larger tires, and other equipment designed to improve off-road performance.
How Much Weight Can the Super Duty Handle?
Payload capacity reaches 8,000 pounds in the Super Duty. Max towing capacity reaches 40,000 pounds with a gooseneck hitch or 35,000 pounds with a fifth-wheel setup. Conventional towing tops out at 30,000 pounds.
Onboard Scales with Smart Hitch calculate real-time estimates for payload and tongue weight, while Trailer Navigation creates routes using the dimensions of the trailer. Pro Trailer Backup Assist provides more help when it's time to maneuver a trailer in reverse.
What Tech Is Available Inside the Super Duty?
The XL uses an 8-inch touchscreen, while higher trims upgrade to a 12-inch display running Ford's Sync 4 infotainment system. Models equipped with the larger screen also offer wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A 12-inch digital instrument cluster allows drivers to customize information.
Available 110-volt outlets can be used to charge laptops, tools, and other equipment. An eight-speaker B&O audio system is included, but buyers can upgrade to a premium 18-speaker B&O system.
