2027 Ford Super Duty Colors: See Every Exterior Color

2027 Ford Super Duty in Neptune Blue in South Dakota

Quick Answer

The 2027 Ford Super Duty comes in 10 retail exterior colors across the F-250, F-350, and F-450. Oxford White is the only no-charge paint; Neptune Blue and Iconic Silver Metallic are new for 2027, while Argon Blue Metallic and Avalanche were discontinued. Several colors are trim-exclusive.

Color is one of the first calls you make on a new Super Duty — and one of the few you can't change later. Below you can click through every 2027 Ford Super Duty exterior color on the same truck, in the same light, so you're comparing paint instead of guessing from a postage-stamp swatch.

Then we break down which colors are locked to specific trims, what's new and dropped for 2027, and which paint holds up best to South Dakota gravel, sun, and winter. It all applies whether you're building an F-250, an F-350, or an F-450.

What colors does the 2027 Super Duty come in?

Ten retail colors. Click any swatch below to repaint the same 2027 Super Duty in that color — the scene stays put, so you're comparing paint, not lighting. Trim-exclusive colors are labeled.

Paint shown on a representative 2027 Super Duty for comparison — same scene each time, so you're comparing paint, not lighting. Ask us for current paint pricing and availability by trim.

Most of the palette — Oxford White, Agate Black Metallic, Neptune Blue, and the rest — carries across the F-250, F-350, and F-450. A handful are tied to specific trims, which we cover next.

Which 2027 Super Duty colors are trim-exclusive?

Most colors are available across the lineup, but a few are restricted — worth knowing before you fall for a paint you can't get on the trim you want.

The two tri-coats, Glacier Gray Metallic Tri-Coat and Star White Metallic Tri-Coat, are reserved for Lariat and up. Race Red runs the other direction — it's offered on the work trims (XL, XLT, Lariat) but not on King Ranch or Platinum. Carbonized Gray Metallic and the new Iconic Silver Metallic are available on every trim except King Ranch, which leans into its own Western palette with two-tone Marsh Gray lower cladding.

Want it on any trim? Oxford White, Agate Black Metallic, Neptune Blue, and Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat (XLT and up) give you the widest reach across the Super Duty lineup.

What's new and what's discontinued for 2027?

Two new colors arrive for 2027 and two leave. Neptune Blue, a deep marine blue, and Iconic Silver Metallic, a bright silver, are the additions. Argon Blue Metallic and Avalanche are discontinued.

If you had your eye on Argon Blue or Avalanche, a 2026 Super Duty still on the lot is your last shot — once they're gone, they're gone. Neptune Blue is the natural successor for a blue buyer, and it's available across every trim.

Fleet and commercial buyers have a separate set of solid colors — Green, Green Gem, Orange, School Bus Yellow, Vermillion Red, and Yellow — available on XL and XLT with a valid fleet code. They're not part of the retail picker above and aren't available with the Tremor, STX, or Black Appearance packages.

Which Super Duty color is best for South Dakota?

There's no wrong answer, but a few things matter more on the Northern Plains than they might in town: how a color hides gravel dust and road grime, how visible it is in a whiteout, and how it holds up to sun and salt.

Our Recommendation

For most Bowdle and Aberdeen-area buyers, we point to Carbonized Gray Metallic or the new Iconic Silver Metallic — both hide the gravel-road grey between washes and stay neutral for resale. If winter visibility is your priority, Oxford White or Star White Metallic Tri-Coat are the easiest to see and keep clean. Want presence on the lot? Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat is the one that turns heads.

The deep colors — Agate Black Metallic especially — look incredible clean, but they show dust, pollen, and winter salt the fastest. If you hate washing a truck, that's worth weighing before you order.

From the Beadle Ford Lot

The most common color conversation we have starts with someone set on a black Super Duty because it looks sharp in the brochure — then they see how fast our gravel roads dust up a dark truck and walk out in a gray or a white. If you're torn, come stand next to your top two in daylight; it usually settles it in about five minutes.

Key Takeaways

  • The 2027 Ford Super Duty offers 10 retail exterior colors across the F-250, F-350, and F-450.

My Take on Picking a 2027 Super Duty Color

Color is the one thing buyers second-guess most, and the one I most often tell people to go see in person. A swatch the size of a stamp can't tell you how Neptune Blue reads at golden hour or how much gravel dust Carbonized Gray quietly hides on a county road. Use the picker above to narrow it to two, then come stand next to them in daylight — that's when people know.

If you want a specific color on a specific build — say a Lariat in Star White Tri-Coat or an XLT in the new Iconic Silver — we can order it exactly how you want it. Stop by Beadle Ford in Bowdle or give us a call and we'll get you sorted.

2027 Ford F-250 4x4 on a snowy South Dakota county road

2027 Ford F-250 Winter & Gravel Capability in South Dakota

HERO + QUICK ANSWER + INTRO Quick Answer The 2027 Ford F-250 is excellent in South Dakota winters and on gravel with 4x4, selectable drive modes including Slippery Roads, real ground clearance, and the right tires. Add the Snow Plow Prep Package for plowing, or the XL Off-Road 35-inch Tire Package for serious traction. Around here, a truck has to earn its keep in February and on washboard gravel just as much as it does towing in July. The good news is that the same heavy-duty build that makes the F-250 a strong tow truck also makes it one of the most confident winter and gravel daily drivers you can buy — as long as you spec it right. Here's how the 2027 F-250 handles a Dakota winter, what 4x4, drive modes, and snow-plow prep actually do for you, the tires that matter most, and the off-road traction tech worth ordering. TOP CTA See F-250 Inventory Reserve a 2027 F-250 Get Pre-Approved TOC On This Page How does the 2027 F-250 handle SD winters? 4x4, drive modes, and snow-plow prep Best tires for snow and gravel Off-road and traction tech worth having H2 1 How does the 2027 F-250 handle SD winters? Very well, and for the same reasons it's a good tow truck: 4x4 traction, real ground clearance to clear drifts, weight to stay planted, and traction tech tuned for slick roads. On a snow-packed county road or a drifted-in driveway, the F-250 with 4x4 and good tires is hard to stop. The ground clearance is the underrated part. Where a low car high-centers on a plow ridge, the Super Duty drives over it. Combine that with the Electronic Shift-on-the-Fly 4x4 and the Slippery Roads drive mode, and getting to work in a Dakota February stops being a question. H2 2 4x4, drive modes, and snow-plow prep The F-250's Electronic Shift-on-the-Fly 4x4 lets you move between two-wheel and four-wheel drive on the move, and the selectable drive modes — including Slippery Roads — retune throttle response and traction control for snow and ice. 4x4 is standard beginning on the King Ranch and available on the XL, XLT, and Lariat; for South Dakota, most buyers add it on any trim. If you plow, order the Snow Plow Prep Package. It readies the truck to mount a plow within Ford's front-axle weight limits, with the upgraded components a plow setup needs. Spec it from the factory rather than adding it later — it's a cleaner, better-integrated setup. H2 3 Best tires for snow and gravel Tires matter more than almost anything else for winter and gravel traction. A good set of all-terrain tires is the practical all-rounder for South Dakota — they handle gravel, mud, and packed snow well and last. If you drive a lot of ice and deep snow, a dedicated winter tire is the safest choice for those months. The point is to match the tire to your roads. A truck that's perfect on the highway can feel sketchy on glare ice with the wrong rubber, and the right tire transforms how a heavy 4x4 puts power down. We'll help you pick a tire that fits how and where you actually drive. H2 4 Off-road and traction tech worth having For buyers who run rough gravel, mud, and trails, the new XL Off-Road 35-inch Tire Package is the standout for 2027. It adds 35-inch tires, a taller ride height, an electronic locking rear differential, a limited-slip front differential, Rock Crawl mode, Trail Control, Trail Turn Assist, and heavy-duty skid plates — serious capability on an affordable trim. Stepping up, the Tremor Off-Road Package — now available on the XL for 2027 — brings a lifted suspension and the full off-road treatment. For most winter-and-gravel daily drivers, though, plain 4x4 with the right tires does the job; the off-road packages are for buyers who genuinely leave the maintained roads. Our Recommendation For a South Dakota winter-and-gravel daily driver, we recommend a 4x4 F-250 with a good set of all-terrain tires and the Snow Plow Prep Package if you push snow. That combination handles our roads in any season. Add the XL Off-Road 35-inch Tire Package only if you regularly run rough trails and mud beyond the gravel. FIRSTHAND CALLOUT From the Beadle Ford Lot The single biggest winter upgrade I steer people toward isn't a package — it's tires. A 4x4 F-250 on worn highway tires will still struggle on glare ice, and the same truck on a good all-terrain set is a different machine. We sort out the tire before we talk about anything else for a winter driver. KEY TAKEAWAYS Key Takeaways With 4x4, drive modes, ground clearance, and the right tires, the 2027 F-250 is excellent in winter and on gravel. Electronic Shift-on-the-Fly 4x4 and the Slippery Roads drive mode tune the truck for snow and ice. 4x4 is standard from the King Ranch and available on XL, XLT, and Lariat — most SD buyers add it. Order the Snow Plow Prep Package from the factory if you plow. Tires are the biggest winter upgrade; the XL Off-Road 35-inch Tire Package adds serious off-road traction. FAQ Frequently Asked Questions Is the 2027 F-250 good in the snow? Yes. With 4x4, the Slippery Roads drive mode, real ground clearance, and good tires, the F-250 handles snow-packed roads and drifts confidently. The weight and traction tech help it stay planted, and the clearance lets it drive over plow ridges that stop lower vehicles. Does the 2027 F-250 have a snow plow prep package? Yes. The Snow Plow Prep Package readies the F-250 to mount a plow within Ford's front-axle weight limits, with the upgraded components a plow setup needs. It's best ordered from the factory for a cleaner, better-integrated installation. What tires are best for an F-250 in South Dakota? A good set of all-terrain tires is the practical all-rounder for gravel, mud, and packed snow. If you drive a lot of ice and deep snow, dedicated winter tires are the safest choice for those months. Tires make the biggest difference in winter and gravel traction. Do I need an off-road package for gravel roads? No. For maintained gravel and winter roads, plain 4x4 with good all-terrain tires is plenty. The XL Off-Road 35-inch Tire Package or Tremor are for buyers who regularly run rough trails and mud beyond the gravel. QUICK ANSWERS Quick Answers: F-250 Winter & Gravel One-line answers to the follow-up questions buyers ask next. Good in snow? Yes — excellent with 4x4 and good tires. Does it have a winter drive mode? Yes — the Slippery Roads mode. What kind of 4x4? Electronic Shift-on-the-Fly. Is 4x4 standard? Standard from the King Ranch; available on XL, XLT, Lariat. Can it plow? Yes — order the Snow Plow Prep Package. Best tires? All-terrain for the all-around, winter tires for heavy ice and snow. Biggest winter upgrade? Tires, before any package. Off-road package for trails? The XL Off-Road 35-inch Tire Package or Tremor. Does ground clearance help in snow? Yes — it clears drifts and plow ridges. Where can I spec one for winter?

I'd take a properly spec'd 4x4 with good all-terrain tires over almost anything when the roads turn to glass. What I steer people away from is buying the truck and skimping on the tire, because that's where a capable machine gets let down.

2027 Ford F-250 in the new Neptune Blue in South Dakota

2027 Ford F-250 Colors & Appearance: New Colors, Tremor on XL

HERO + QUICK ANSWER + INTRO Quick Answer For 2027, the Ford F-250 adds two new colors — Neptune Blue and Iconic Silver Metallic — while dropping Argon Blue Metallic and Avalanche. The big appearance news is Tremor Off-Road now available on the XL, a new XL Off-Road 35-inch Tire Package, and the new Super Duty Carhartt Package. Color is the headline most buyers want, but 2027 also opens up real styling and off-road appearance options that weren't on the F-250 before. If you want your Super Duty to look a certain way — clean and chrome, blacked-out, off-road rugged, or work-ready — there's now a package for it. Here's what's new and dropped in the palette, the off-road and appearance packages worth knowing, and how wheels and styling break down by trim. To see every color on the same truck, use our interactive 2027 Super Duty color picker. TOP CTA See F-250 Inventory Reserve a 2027 F-250 Get Pre-Approved TOC On This Page What new colors did the 2027 F-250 add? Which 2026 colors were dropped? Tremor on XL and the 35-inch tire package Wheels and appearance options by trim H2 1 What new colors did the 2027 F-250 add? Two: Neptune Blue, a deep marine blue, and Iconic Silver Metallic, a bright silver. Both are available across the trims (Iconic Silver on every trim except King Ranch), giving the 2027 F-250 a fresh blue and a clean, low-maintenance silver in the lineup. They join carryover favorites like Oxford White, Agate Black Metallic, Carbonized Gray Metallic, and the premium tri-coats. For the full retail palette — ten colors shown on the same truck in the same light, with trim-exclusive ones labeled — the interactive Super Duty color picker is the fastest way to compare. H2 2 Which 2026 colors were dropped? Argon Blue Metallic and Avalanche are discontinued for 2027. If either was on your shortlist, a 2026 F-250 still on the lot is the last way to get it — once that inventory sells down, those colors are gone. For blue buyers, the new Neptune Blue is the natural successor and is available across every trim. If you were set on Avalanche specifically, talk to us before our remaining 2026 inventory moves. H2 3 Tremor on XL and the 35-inch tire package The biggest appearance change for 2027 is off-road. The Tremor Off-Road Package is now available on the XL (with the STX Appearance Package), bringing the lifted, aggressive Tremor look and capability to the work trim for the first time. There's also a new XL Off-Road 35-inch Tire Package for buyers who want the rugged stance without the full Tremor. The XL Off-Road 35-inch Tire Package adds 35-inch tires, a taller ride height, an electronic locking rear differential, a limited-slip front differential, upgraded suspension dampers, Rock Crawl mode, Trail Control, Trail Turn Assist, and heavy-duty skid plates — serious gravel-and-trail hardware on an affordable trim. Also new: the Super Duty Carhartt Package brings work-grade, Carhartt-branded styling inside and out to single-rear-wheel trucks — a distinctive work-truck look for 2027. H2 4 Wheels and appearance options by trim Styling scales with trim. XL and XLT start with 18-inch wheels and add appearance flavor through packages — the STX Appearance Package for a sportier look or the Black Appearance Package to black out the chrome. The XLT and Lariat can step up to 20-inch wheels, including a 20-inch Dark Carbonized Gray High-Gloss option and a 20-inch Chrome PVD wheel on the Lariat. Up top, the King Ranch wears its signature Western styling with two-tone Marsh Gray lower cladding (and an available Chrome Package), while the Platinum gets the most modern, monochromatic premium look. So whether you want blacked-out, chromed-out, off-road, or refined, there's a 2027 F-250 configuration for it. Our Recommendation For a sharp, value-minded look around Bowdle and Aberdeen, we like an XLT in one of the new colors with the STX Appearance Package — or, if you want real gravel-and-trail capability on a budget, the new XL Off-Road 35-inch Tire Package. Both deliver standout style without stepping into King Ranch or Platinum money. FIRSTHAND CALLOUT From the Beadle Ford Lot The appearance change people are most excited about is Tremor finally landing on the XL. Buyers who wanted that lifted, 35-inch-tire look used to have to climb into a higher trim to get it — now they can build a work-priced XL that looks the part. We expect to order a lot of those. KEY TAKEAWAYS Key Takeaways New 2027 colors: Neptune Blue and Iconic Silver Metallic; dropped: Argon Blue Metallic and Avalanche. Tremor Off-Road is now available on the F-250 XL (with the STX Appearance Package). The new XL Off-Road 35-inch Tire Package adds 35-inch tires, a locking rear diff, Rock Crawl, and skid plates.

2027 and 2026 Ford F-250 trucks at Beadle Ford in South Dakota

Buy a 2026 Ford F-250 Now or Order a 2027?

HERO + QUICK ANSWER + INTRO Quick Answer Buy a 2026 F-250 now if you want an engine the 2027 drops — the 6.8L gas V8 or the standard-output 6.7L diesel — or you need a truck on the lot today. Order a 2027 if you want the simplified lineup with the standard 7.3L gas, Tremor on the XL, and the new Carhartt Package. With the 2027 F-250 now in production and 2026s still on the lot, a lot of shoppers are asking the same thing: buy now or wait and order? Because 2027 is a real change year for the Super Duty — not just a calendar flip — the answer actually depends on what you want under the hood and how soon you need the truck. Here's what changed between the two model years, why a 2026 is your last shot at certain engines, what to expect on price, and how to decide between buying off the lot and ordering to spec. TOP CTA See F-250 Inventory Reserve a 2027 F-250 Get Pre-Approved TOC On This Page What's different between the 2026 and 2027 F-250? Is the standard-output diesel really gone? Will the 2027 cost more? Buy off the lot or order to spec? H2 1 What's different between the 2026 and 2027 F-250? The big change is engines. The 2026 F-250 offers four engines; the 2027 simplifies to two. For 2027 the 7.3L gas V8 is standard on every trim and the 6.7L High-Output Power Stroke diesel is the only diesel — the 6.8L gas V8 and the standard-output 6.7L diesel are discontinued. The 2027 also adds Tremor Off-Road availability on the XL, a new XL Off-Road 35-inch Tire Package, the Super Duty Carhartt Package, and two new colors (Neptune Blue and Iconic Silver Metallic) while dropping Argon Blue Metallic and Avalanche. Towing and payload capability carries over — the simplified lineup didn't cost the F-250 any capability. Feature 2026 F-250 2027 F-250 Engines Four (incl. 6.8L gas, std-output diesel) Two (7.3L gas standard, HO diesel) Tremor on XL No Yes (with STX) Carhartt Package No New for 2027 Availability On the lot now Build to order, arriving late 2026 H2 2 Is the standard-output diesel really gone? Yes. For 2027, the 6.7L High-Output Power Stroke is the only diesel — the standard-output 6.7L diesel is discontinued. So a 2026 still on the lot is the last chance to buy the standard-output diesel, and likewise the only way to still get the 6.8L gas V8. For most buyers this doesn't change much, because the now-standard 7.3L gas covers the towing the standard-output diesel was often chosen for. But if you specifically wanted that engine — for a particular price point or duty cycle — the 2026 is your window, and once our 2026 inventory sells down, it's gone. H2 3 Will the 2027 cost more? Probably a modest amount. The 7.3L gas V8 was roughly a $1,500 option in 2026 and is standard equipment for 2027, so the entry price likely reflects that. Ford has not yet published final 2027 F-250 pricing, so the exact difference is still to be confirmed. If avoiding a price increase matters and you don't need a specific 2027 feature, buying a 2026 now can be the value play — especially on remaining inventory. If you want the new packages or simply prefer ordering exactly the truck you want, the 2027 is worth the wait and likely the small premium. H2 4 Buy off the lot or order to spec? Buy off the lot if you need a truck now, want to avoid a likely price bump, or you've found a 2026 configured close to what you want. Order to spec if you want the exact cab, bed, axle, trim, color, and packages — including the 2027-only options — and you can wait for the build. Our Recommendation If you want the 6.8L gas or the standard-output diesel, need a truck today, or want to avoid a likely price increase, buy a 2026 now — while they're on the lot. If you want the simplified 2027 lineup, Tremor on the XL, the Carhartt Package, or a build done exactly to your spec, order a 2027. For the largest group of buyers, the now-standard 7.3L gas makes the 2027 an easy, future-proof choice. Buy a 2026 now if you want the 6.8L gas or standard-output diesel, need a truck today, or want to dodge a price increase. Order a 2027 if you want the standard 7.3L gas, Tremor on the XL, the Carhartt Package, the new colors, or a precise build. FIRSTHAND CALLOUT From the Beadle Ford Lot The honest version of this conversation usually takes two minutes: if you wanted a dropped engine or you need a truck this month, we look at the 2026s on the lot. If you're flexible on timing and want it built your way, we order a 2027. The only buyers who feel rushed are the ones who had their heart set on the standard-output diesel — for them, the clock really is running on our remaining 2026s. KEY TAKEAWAYS Key Takeaways The 2026 F-250 offers four engines; the 2027 simplifies to the standard 7.3L gas and the HO diesel. A 2026 on the lot is the last chance to get the 6.8L gas V8 or the standard-output 6.7L diesel. Expect a modest 2027 price increase since the 7.3L gas (a ~$1,500 option in 2026) is now standard; final pricing is not yet announced. Buy a 2026 now to get a dropped engine, buy today, or dodge a price bump; order a 2027 for the new lineup and a precise build. Towing and payload carry over — the 2027's simpler lineup didn't reduce capability. FAQ Frequently Asked Questions Should I buy a 2026 F-250 now or order a 2027? Buy a 2026 now if you want the 6.8L gas or standard-output diesel (both dropped for 2027), need a truck today, or want to avoid a likely price increase. Order a 2027 if you want the simplified lineup with the standard 7.3L gas, Tremor on the XL, the new Carhartt Package, or a precise build. What engines did the 2027 F-250 drop? The 6.8L gas V8 and the standard-output 6.7L Power Stroke diesel. For 2027 the 7.3L gas V8 is standard and the 6.7L High-Output diesel is the only diesel.

The only time I get a little urgent is with the standard-output diesel — once our 2026 inventory is gone, that engine is genuinely off the table, so if that's what you want, I'd rather you know the window is closing. For everyone else, the now-standard 7.3L gas makes the 2027 a confident, future-proof order. Tell me which engine you're after and your timeline, and I'll show you whether the smart move is a 2026 on the lot or a 2027 built to your spec. Either way, we'll sort it out at Beadle Ford in Bowdle.
