2027 Ford F-150: What's New vs. 2026, Plus the New Carhartt Package

The 2027 F-150 swaps the 2.7L for a new 3.0L EcoBoost, puts the V8 back on more trims, adds hands-free BlueCruise while towing, and launches a $4,195 Carhartt package. Here's everything that changed from 2026, and whether to buy a '26 or wait for a '27.

October 27, 2026

The F-150 isn’t getting a redesign for 2027, but it’s getting more meaningful changes than most “carryover” years: a new base engine, more V8 availability, cheaper ways into a Tremor or Raptor, and a towing feature a lot of my customers have been asking for.

What’s new at a glance

The new 3.0L EcoBoost

The 2.7L EcoBoost is gone. In its place, a 3.0L EcoBoost V6 becomes the standard engine on most XL, STX, XLT and Lariat trucks. Ford’s published figures are 325 hp and 400 lb-ft, the same peaks as the old 2.7L, but Ford says it delivers about 10 to 11% more usable low-end torque in everyday driving. Max towing with the 3.0L is 8,400 lbs (4x2) or 8,200 lbs (4x4).

One catch from the order guide: the 3.0L can’t be paired with the Tow/Haul package. If you tow heavy, look at the 3.5L EcoBoost or the 5.0L V8.

The V8 comes back to more trims

The 5.0L Coyote V8 is optional on more of the lineup for 2027, including King Ranch and Platinum, and it’s available on Tremor starting with the 401A group. If you’ve been waiting for a V8 in a high-end F-150, this is the year.

New and exciting packages

Carhartt Edition ($4,195). Available on XLT Crew Cab 4x4 trucks, for a starting MSRP of $62,660 plus destination. It adds 20-inch wheels, Carhartt badging, a Tremor-style cowl hood and headlights, and two-tone seat covers. Orders are open, and deliveries start in early 2027.

BlueCruise with towing. You can now go hands-free on over 130,000 miles of pre-qualified divided highways while pulling a boat, camper or trailer. If you already subscribe to BlueCruise, the towing capability comes at no extra charge.

Cheaper Tremor and Raptor. The new Tremor 400A keeps the off-road hardware but drops comfort items like heated front seats, dual-zone climate and the B&O stereo. The new Raptor 800A keeps the high-output engine, Fox Live Valve suspension and 35-inch tires but drops extras like the head-up display, B&O Unleashed audio and the 2kW Pro Power system. Ford hasn’t released prices for either yet.

Lariat Chrome Appearance Package is new, and there’s a dealer-installed 22-inch Ebony six-spoke wheel.

What’s gone

• The 2.7L EcoBoost
• XLT 303A (its content mostly moves into 302A, which now gets Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 and body-color bumpers standard)
• STX FX4 201A and the STX Black Appearance Package
• Antimatter Blue, Argon Blue and Avalanche paint

A salesperson’s take: 2026 or 2027?

1. The 2026 has a deal the 2027 doesn’t. Ford is running 0% APR for 60 months on new 2026 F-150s (excluding Raptor) through November 2. If you don’t care about the new engine or BlueCruise towing, a leftover ‘26 at 0% is hard to beat.
2. Want a V8 King Ranch or Platinum? Order a 2027.
3. Tow heavy? Skip the 3.0L. It can’t get Tow/Haul.
4. Carhartt buyers, get in line early. Special editions with a strong brand name tend to have waitlists.
5. Watch the trim content. The cheaper Tremor and Raptor packages are great value, but make sure you know which features you’re giving up before you sign.

The bottom line

The 2027 F-150 is a smart update: a new standard engine, more V8 choices, BlueCruise that works while towing and a Carhartt package that’ll turn heads. But with 0% financing on the 2026s right now, a leftover truck may be the better deal if you don’t need the new features.

Details are based on Ford’s announcement and the 2027 order guide as reported by automotive media as of October 27, 2026. Pricing beyond the Carhartt Edition hasn’t been released. Specs and availability can change.
