There are plenty of jobs where ordinary pickup capability isn't enough, but the Ford Super Duty is a beast that tows and pulls with enough power for nearly every job at hand. Find out what to expect for 2027 in this Ford Super Duty model overview.
Key Takeaways
- The 2027 Super Duty offers two V8 powertrains after Ford drops two previous engine choices.
- The Power Stroke turbodiesel produces 1,200 lb-ft of torque.
- The Super Duty can tow a whopping 40,000 pounds when properly equipped.
What's Different About the 2027 Super Duty?
The engine menu is shorter this year. Ford discontinues both the 6.8-liter V8 and the lower-output version of its 6.7-liter Power Stroke turbodiesel. Buyers now choose between the remaining gas and diesel V8s.
Car and Driver reports that the automaker also introduces the Carhartt Edition for '27. The workwear-inspired model features 20-inch wheels and exterior badging, along with special interior materials that extend the Carhartt theme into the cabin.
Gas or Diesel: Which Super Duty Engine Is Right for the Job?
The gas option is a 7.3-liter V8 delivering 430 horsepower and 485 lb-ft. Buyers who need the additional output of a diesel can move to the 6.7-liter Power Stroke. That turbodiesel generates 500 horsepower and 1,200 lb-ft, giving it more than twice the torque of the gas V8.
Both engines mate with a 10-speed automatic, and Ford offers both single- and dual-rear-wheel configurations. The available Tremor Off-Road Package expands the truck's abilities when work takes you beyond paved roads. Its upgrades include larger tires, a factory lift, and additional off-road equipment.
Which Trailer Setup Gives You the Most Towing Capacity?
A gooseneck configuration unlocks the Super Duty's highest towing figure at 40,000 pounds. Fifth-wheel towing capacity reaches 35,000 pounds, while a conventional trailer can weigh up to 30,000 pounds. The truck is equally serious about carrying weight in its bed, with properly equipped configurations supporting payloads of up to 8,000 pounds.
Onboard Scales with Smart Hitch estimate payload and tongue weight in real time before you hit the road. Trailer Navigation plans routes around trailer dimensions, and available Pro Trailer Backup Assist helps take some of the guesswork out of reversing with a trailer attached.
Can the Super Duty Double as a Mobile Workspace?
It sure can! The entry-level XL uses an 8-inch touchscreen, while higher trims feature a 12-inch display with Ford Sync 4. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are available with the larger touchscreen. Drivers can also view customizable info through a 12-inch digital instrument cluster.
Available 110-volt outlets turn the cabin into a convenient place to recharge tools and laptops. Every Super Duty also includes B&O audio. The standard setup uses eight speakers, while an available premium system increases that count to 18.
