2027 Ford F-150: What's New, What's Changing, and What Stays the Same
The 2027 Ford F-150 gets a meaningful mid-cycle update, led by a new standard engine and a towing-tech first. Ford swaps the old 2.7-liter V6 for a new 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6, brings the 5.0-liter V8 back to more trims, and adds BlueCruise with Towing, which lets you go hands-free while pulling a trailer. There is also a new Carhartt edition and lower-cost entry points on Tremor and Raptor. The cab and bed choices, the broader engine lineup, and the F-150's core toughness carry over, so this guide covers exactly what is different for 2027 and how to shop it at your local Kunes Ford store.
2027 Ford F-150 at a Glance
Update type: Mid-cycle update. New standard engine: 3.0L EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 (an estimated 400 horsepower) with a 10-speed automatic. Engine choices include a 3.0L V6, 5.0L V8, 3.5L EcoBoost V6, 3.5L PowerBoost Hybrid V6, plus Raptor engines. This versatile lineup continues to offer rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive options, with max towing capabilities reaching up to 13,500 pounds when properly equipped. The headline technology, BlueCruise with Towing, allows hands-free toting up to 10,000 pounds, making towing easier than ever. Starting price for the XL Regular Cab is $37,790, plus a $2,795 destination charge.
What Is New on the 2027 F-150
A New Standard 3.0-Liter V6
The 2.7-liter EcoBoost is retired, and a new 3.0-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 takes its place as the standard engine on the XL, STX, XLT, and now the Lariat. Ford estimates about 400 horsepower and, more importantly, roughly 10 to 11 percent more torque in the everyday range where you actually use it, which is essential for hauling, merging, and towing around town.
The V8 Returns to More Trims
The 5.0-liter V8 (about 400 horsepower and 410 lb.-ft. of torque) is available on the King Ranch and Platinum for the first time since 2023, meaning the V8 is now offered across the F-150 lineup. If you want a V8 in a loaded, luxury-leaning F-150, 2027 is the year it comes back.
BlueCruise With Towing
The headline technology for 2027 is BlueCruise with Towing, which allows hands-free driving while towing up to 10,000 pounds on more than 130,000 miles of compatible divided highways. Long hauls with a trailer behind you now lead to a significant reduction in fatigue, providing a more relaxed driving experience.
A New Carhartt Edition and Value-Priced Off-Roaders
A new F-150 Carhartt edition brings rugged, work-ready styling, complete with unique 20-inch wheels, Carhartt badging, and fender vents, Lobo headlamps, and a Tremor-style hood. Ford also adds lower-cost entry points for the off-road trims, with new base equipment groups on the Tremor and a new base Raptor, making the trail-ready F-150s more affordable than before.
What Is Changing From Earlier Model Years
The Base Engine and the Lineup
The biggest change under the hood is the switch from the 2.7-liter to the new 3.0-liter V6, paired with the V8's wider availability. The XLT's popular 302A equipment group now includes body-color bumpers instead of chrome, along with Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0, while the Tremor and Raptor gain lower starting prices.
Pricing
The 2027 F-150 starts at $37,790 for the XL Regular Cab (before the $2,795 destination charge), and the lineup climbs to the high-performance Raptor around $74,995. The new Carhartt edition starts around $62,660 (before destination). Because the F-150 offers many cab, bed, engine, and trim combinations, the best way to price a specific truck is to communicate how you will use it.
What Stays the Same
The core of the F-150 carries over, maintaining its status as America's full-size pickup benchmark. The truck is still offered in a wide range of cab and bed configurations, with rear- or four-wheel drive. The 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 and the 3.5-liter PowerBoost Full Hybrid continue to be part of the lineup, along with the high-output Raptor and supercharged Raptor R. The Pro Power Onboard feature remains, turning the truck into a mobile generator on equipped models, while the large central touchscreen and digital gauge cluster continue to impress. Ford's warranty coverage stays the same at 3 years or 36,000 miles basic and 5 years or 60,000 miles on the powertrain.
2027 F-150 Engines: Which One Fits You
The F-150 offers a wide range of engines tailored to different needs. The new 3.0-liter V6 is the standard, well-rounded choice for most buyers. The 5.0-liter V8 appeals to those desiring classic V8 character, now available on more trims. The 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 serves as the max-tow option, capable of pulling up to 13,500 pounds. The 3.5-liter PowerBoost Hybrid combines strong torque with better efficiency and the most Pro Power Onboard output, ideal for work sites and tailgates. Your local Kunes Ford store can help match the engine and configuration to your towing and hauling requirements.
Should You Buy a 2026 F-150 or Wait for the 2027?
Consider the 2027 if you want the new 3.0-liter V6, the V8 on King Ranch or Platinum, BlueCruise with Towing, the Carhartt edition or the lower-priced Tremor and Raptor entry points. A leftover 2026 F-150 may still make sense if a discount outweighs these improvements, as both models share the same underlying design. Kunes Ford will guide you through the numbers without pressure, making it an easy decision.
