The available engine on F-250 and F-350, and the standard engine on the F-450, is the 6.7L High-Output Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel, producing 500 hp at 2,600 rpm and 1,200 lb-ft of torque at 1,600 rpm. Both use a 10-speed automatic transmission.
What transmission does the 2027 Super Duty use?
The 7.3L gas engine is paired with the TorqShift-G 10-speed SelectShift automatic. The 6.7L diesel is paired with the TorqShift 10-speed SelectShift automatic. Both transmissions include selectable drive modes and live-drive power take-off access.
Does the 2027 Super Duty come in 4x4?
Yes. 4x4 is available across F-250, F-350, and F-450 trims. Some upper trims, including King Ranch and Platinum, come standard with 4x4. XL and XLT trims offer 4x4 as an option.
What drive modes does the 2027 Super Duty offer?
The Super Duty offers at least four selectable drive modes on the gas transmission: Normal, Eco, Slippery Roads, and Tow/Haul. Off-road packages add Rock Crawl mode and additional trail-focused modes. The diesel transmission also includes multiple selectable modes.
Is the 2027 Super Duty compatible with B20 biodiesel?
Yes. The 6.7L High-Output Power Stroke diesel is rated for B20 biodiesel fuel. The 7.3L gas engine runs on 87-octane fuel and is not E85 compatible.
Towing & Payload
How much can the 2027 Ford Super Duty tow?
Up to 40,000 lbs. That maximum applies to a properly equipped F-450 DRW with the 6.7L diesel using the 40K Gooseneck Tow Package. Conventional towing ratings vary by cab, wheelbase, engine, and axle ratio. As an example, a diesel-equipped F-250 with the High-Capacity Axle Upgrade Package reaches up to 22,000 lbs conventionally, and an F-350 DRW diesel tops 38,000 lbs on a fifth-wheel setup. Buyers in Abilene doing serious hauling should confirm exact ratings using the door-jamb label on the specific truck.
What is the maximum payload on the 2027 Super Duty?
Up to 7,900 lbs. That figure applies to an F-350 DRW with the gas engine and the Heavy-Duty Payload Package. Standard F-250 and F-350 SRW configurations carry lower payload ratings depending on cab style, wheelbase, and engine. The door-jamb label on each truck shows the exact payload for that vehicle's specific build.
What is the difference between conventional, fifth-wheel, and gooseneck towing?
Conventional towing uses a receiver hitch at the rear bumper. Fifth-wheel towing uses a hitch mounted in the truck bed over the rear axle. Gooseneck towing uses a ball-and-coupler setup in the bed, also over the rear axle. Fifth-wheel and gooseneck configurations typically yield higher trailer weight ratings than conventional hitching on the same truck.
Does tow capacity change between F-250, F-350, and F-450?
Yes, meaningfully. The F-450 DRW diesel reaches the 40,000-lb gooseneck ceiling. F-350 DRW diesel trucks reach up to 38,000 lbs fifth-wheel. F-250 diesel trucks max at about 22,000 lbs conventionally with the High-Capacity Axle Upgrade. The right model depends on the trailer weight and hitch type you need.
Trims & Configuration
What trims are available on the 2027 Ford Super Duty?
The lineup includes XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum across F-250, F-350, and F-450 series. Entry trims are offered in Regular Cab and SuperCab body styles. Crew Cab configurations are also available across multiple series. The F-450 is diesel-only and comes in XL through Platinum grades.
What cab and box combinations does the 2027 Super Duty offer?
Three cab styles are available: Regular Cab, 3 passengers; SuperCab, 6 passengers; and Crew Cab, 6 passengers. Bed lengths are either 6.75 feet or 8 feet, depending on cab and wheelbase. Crew Cab models on the long wheelbase, 175.9-inch, pair with the 8-foot bed. Cargo volume in the 8-foot bed reaches 78.5 cubic feet at the floor.
How much rear leg room does the Crew Cab have?
Crew Cab rear seat leg room measures 43.6 inches. The SuperCab rear measures 33.5 inches. Front leg room is 43.9 inches across all cab styles.
What is the difference between King Ranch and Platinum trims?
Both come standard with 4x4. King Ranch adds Pro Trailer Hitch Assist and Backup Assist, a lane centering system, and the B&O Sound System with 14 speakers including a subwoofer. Platinum adds the same audio system and is the trim that supports the Platinum Plus Package, which includes multi-contour seats with a massage option. Both trims also include a dual 410-amp alternator.
Does the Super Duty come in a dually, DRW, configuration?
Yes. Dual rear wheel, DRW, configurations are available on F-350 and F-450. DRW trucks offer wider rear track dimensions, 96 inches without mirrors, and higher rear GAWR ratings, making them the right choice for maximum payload and gooseneck or fifth-wheel towing.
Technology & Safety
What infotainment system does the 2027 Super Duty use?
SYNC 4 with a 12-inch center display. The system supports Alexa Built-in and Connected Navigation through the Ford Connectivity Package, which includes one year of service. Unlimited Wi-Fi hotspot access is also part of that package. YouTube streaming is available through the connected services suite.
What driver-assist safety features come on the 2027 Super Duty?
Ford Co-Pilot360 2.0 is the available driver-assist suite. Standard safety equipment includes blind-spot alert, rear-view camera, rear parking sensors, stability control, and traction control. Forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and rear automatic braking are also part of the safety package. Upper trims add a lane centering system and Pro Trailer Backup Assist.
Does the 2027 Super Duty have a surround-view camera?
A 360-degree camera is available. It is not standard across all trims. Buyers should confirm camera availability on the specific trim and package they are considering.
What off-road technology does the Super Duty offer?
Trail Control, Rock Crawl Mode, and Trail Turn Assist are available with off-road packages such as Tremor, FX4, and the XL Off-Road package. Trail Turn Assist is specifically available with the XL Off-Road 35-inch package. These systems help manage low-speed crawling and tight turns on uneven terrain around the Hill Country and West Texas, where the roads demand serious capability.
Does the Super Duty offer a power take-off, PTO, provision?
Yes. A PTO provision is available on both transmissions, accessed from the driver side. This is a relevant feature for agricultural and municipal work truck buyers in Abilene and the surrounding region.
Warranty & Ownership
What warranty does the 2027 Ford Super Duty carry?
The basic bumper-to-bumper warranty is 3 years or 36,000 miles. The powertrain warranty extends to 5 years or 60,000 miles. Diesel powertrain coverage reaches 5 years or 100,000 miles. The corrosion, perforation, warranty covers 5 years with unlimited mileage. Roadside assistance is included for 5 years or 60,000 miles.
What is the fuel tank capacity on the 2027 Super Duty?
Fuel capacity depends on cab, wheelbase, and engine. The 7.3L gas engine in a Regular Cab uses a 34-gallon tank. Crew Cab long-wheelbase configurations can be equipped with a 48-gallon tank. Diesel configurations in shorter wheelbases use a 29-gallon tank, while longer wheelbase diesel trucks step up to 34 or 48 gallons. Confirm the specific fuel tank on your chosen build before purchase.
Is the 2027 Super Duty a good work truck for contractors and ranchers near Abilene?
Yes, for several concrete reasons. The available 7,900-lb payload handles heavy material loads. The PTO provision supports hydraulic equipment. The fold-out work surface available on XL, XLT, and Lariat trims creates an in-cab desk for paperwork or a laptop. Rock Crawl mode and Trail Turn Assist handle rough terrain across West Texas properties. The diesel's 100,000-mile powertrain warranty reduces long-term ownership risk on high-mileage vocational trucks.
