Powertrain and heavy-duty performance
Ford offers the 2027 Ford Super Duty® with a standard gas engine and an available turbo-diesel engine. The 7.3-liter 2V DEVCT naturally aspirated PFI V8 gas engine comes standard across every F-250® and F-350® trim. The 6.7-liter High-Output Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel B20 engine is available throughout the F-250® and F-350® ranges. Every F-450® trim receives the high-output diesel engine as standard equipment. A TorqShift® 10-speed automatic transmission supports the powertrains and provides the gearing needed for varied speeds, grades, and load conditions.
Gas and diesel engine output
The 7.3-liter gas V8 produces 420 horsepower at 5,350 rpm and 445 pound-feet of torque at 4,250 rpm. When properly configured, the engine supports a maximum available towing capacity of 22,500 pounds. It also contributes to the highest available payload rating in the lineup, reaching 7,900 pounds with the required equipment. Ford installs the gas engine as standard equipment on XL, XLT, Lariat®, King Ranch®, and Platinum® versions of the F-250® and F-350®. This availability allows drivers to combine the gas powertrain with a broad selection of comfort, utility, technology, and off-road features.
The available 6.7-liter High-Output Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel B20 engine produces 500 horsepower at 2,600 rpm. It develops 1,200 pound-feet of torque at 1,600 rpm, which represents the highest available diesel torque rating for the 2027 Ford Super Duty®. When properly equipped, this engine supports up to 40,000 pounds of available towing capacity and 6,935 pounds of available diesel payload capacity. Ford offers the high-output diesel on every listed F-250® and F-350® trim and makes it standard across the F-450® range. Its output supports configurations intended for substantial trailer loads and other heavy-duty operating demands.
Transmission and drive modes
The TorqShift® 10-speed automatic transmission works with the available powertrains to distribute engine output across a wide range of operating conditions. The 2027 Ford Super Duty® also offers up to six available drive modes for adjusting vehicle behavior to different tasks and surfaces. Tow/Haul mode specifically supports operation with heavy cargo or a connected trailer. It modifies transmission shift points and holds gears longer to limit unnecessary gear changes during acceleration and grade climbing. During descents, Tow/Haul mode increases engine braking to help manage vehicle speed and reduce reliance on the service brakes.
Towing, payload, and vehicle configurations
Towing and payload ratings vary throughout the 2027 Ford Super Duty® lineup because each capacity depends on the complete vehicle configuration. Relevant factors include the model, cab style, bed length, engine, drivetrain, axle ratio, Gross Combined Weight Rating, and selected towing equipment. Payload capacity also changes with the single rear wheel or dual rear wheel layout, installed accessories, passengers, and optional equipment. Available towing-related systems include an integrated trailer brake controller, Trailer Sway Control, Pro Trailer Hitch Assist™, Pro Trailer Backup Assist™, and trailer reverse guidance. These features address different stages of trailer connection, low-speed maneuvering, reversing, and travel.
Towing ratings and trailer support
The maximum available gooseneck towing capacity reaches 40,000 pounds when the truck includes the High-Capacity Gooseneck Tow Package and all required equipment. Maximum available fifth-wheel towing capacity reaches 35,000 pounds, while maximum available conventional towing capacity reaches 30,000 pounds. Depending on configuration, the published towing range begins at 12,100 pounds for fifth-wheel applications and extends to the 40,000-pound gooseneck maximum. The 7.3-liter gas V8 supports up to 22,500 pounds of available towing capacity, while the high-output diesel supports the lineup maximum. Cargo, passengers, accessories, drivetrain selection, axle ratio, and towing packages can change the capacity of an individual vehicle.
Selected King Ranch® models offer Pro Trailer Hitch Assist™ and Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ to support specific trailer maneuvers. Trailer reverse guidance provides additional visual information when backing with a connected trailer. The F-450® XLT includes an integrated trailer brake controller, AdvanceTrac® with RSC®, and Trailer Sway Control. Trailer Sway Control also appears on the F-450® XL equipment list, while an available trailer brake controller is offered on listed F-250®, F-350®, and F-450® configurations. These systems supplement careful trailer setup, proper loading, and attentive vehicle operation.
Payload capacity and frame construction
Available payload capacities range from 2,415 to 7,900 pounds across the lineup. The 7.3-liter gas V8 supports the maximum available gas payload rating of 7,900 pounds when properly equipped. The 6.7-liter High-Output Power Stroke® diesel supports a maximum available diesel payload rating of 6,935 pounds. A fully boxed, high-strength steel frame contributes to the structure required for the truck’s load-carrying capability. Model selection, drivetrain, cab style, box length, rear-wheel arrangement, accessories, and other equipment determine the final rating for a specific truck.
Available Onboard Scales with Smart Hitch add a load-management feature to the F-450® XL equipment list. Single rear wheel configurations place one wheel on each side of the rear axle and provide greater maneuverability for everyday operation and light-to-moderate towing. Dual rear wheel configurations place two wheels on each side of the rear axle to improve weight distribution and stability during heavy-duty towing and hauling. The dual rear wheel arrangement also supports higher towing and payload capacities on applicable configurations. Selecting between these layouts affects vehicle width, maneuverability, load management, and overall capability.
Cab and bed combinations
Ford offers Regular Cab, SuperCab™, and Crew Cab body configurations for the 2027 Ford Super Duty®. The Regular Cab comes with an eight-foot bed. SuperCab™ models offer either a 6.75-foot bed or an eight-foot bed, while Crew Cab models provide the same two bed-length choices. Curb weight ranges from approximately 5,761 pounds to more than 8,627 pounds, depending on cab size, bed length, engine, powertrain, and optional equipment. These combinations allow buyers to balance passenger accommodations, cargo dimensions, vehicle weight, and heavy-duty capability.
Utility design and off-road equipment
The exterior design of the 2027 Ford Super Duty® incorporates functional equipment for cargo access, trailer operation, mobile power, and low-light visibility. Integrated box-side steps and rear corner bumper steps create fixed access points for reaching items in the bed. Available PowerScope® trailer tow mirrors support trailer visibility and can include LED side-mirror spotlights and security approach lamps. Selected trims offer LED reflector or projector headlamps, while available wraparound LED lamps provide additional illumination after dark. Remote tailgate release, power tailgates, Utility Lighting Systems, and rear parking sensors further distinguish individual models and packages.
Bed access and onboard power
Available Pro Power Onboard™ supplies up to two kilowatts of electrical output through in-bed outlets. Compatible tools and equipment can draw power directly from the truck at a work location, campsite, or tailgate setting. Boot-sized box-side steps and rear corner bumper steps help users access cargo without depending on separate step equipment.
