Quick Answer
The biggest 2027 Ford F-350 change is the engine lineup: it drops from four to two. The 7.3L gas V8 is now standard on every trim, and the 6.7L High-Output Power Stroke is the only diesel. 2027 also adds the Super Duty Carhartt Package, Tremor on XL, and a new 8-foot bed with the High-Output diesel — while towing and payload carry over unchanged.
The 2027 Ford F-350 Super Duty isn’t a redesign — the body, grille, and silhouette carry over — but under the hood and in the order guide, it’s the most changed Super Duty in years. Ford simplified the lineup instead of restyling it.
Here’s everything that’s new for 2027, what it means for the way trucks get used around Bowdle and Aberdeen, and how to think about ordering one — including whether a 2026 still on the lot might be the smarter buy.
What changed on the 2027 F-350?
The 2027 F-350 keeps the current Super Duty body but reworks what’s available underneath. The headline: the engine lineup goes from four to two. Alongside that, Ford added a Super Duty Carhartt Package, opened the Tremor Off-Road Package to the XL trim, and introduced a new 8-foot bed / 176-inch wheelbase with the High-Output diesel.
In short: 2027 is a simplification, not a redesign. Same proven truck, a cleaner set of choices — and, importantly, no loss of towing or payload capability.
Why did Ford cut the engines from four to two?
For 2027, the 7.3L gas V8 becomes standard on every trim and the 6.7L High-Output Power Stroke is the only diesel. The 6.8L gas V8 and the standard-output 6.7L Power Stroke diesel are both discontinued. The move trims overlap: the 7.3L gas already covered most of what the 6.8L did, and the High-Output diesel covers everything the standard-output diesel did and more.
Both engines pair with the 10-speed TorqShift automatic. One honest note: Ford hasn’t published final 2027 horsepower and torque figures yet, so we’re not quoting output numbers until they’re official — but the lineup itself is locked, and the capability numbers below are confirmed. The full gas-vs-diesel breakdown is in our 2027 F-350 engine comparison.
Does the 2027 F-350 lose any capability?
No. Despite the simpler lineup, the 2027 F-350’s ratings carry over: up to 40,000 lbs gooseneck (High-Output diesel, dual-rear-wheel, 40K Gooseneck Tow Package), up to 35,000 lbs fifth-wheel, up to 28,000 lbs conventional on the dually, and up to roughly 7,900 lbs of payload with the 7.3L gas and the heavy-duty payload package. The new 8-foot bed / 176-inch wheelbase with the High-Output diesel actually adds a longer-deck option for haulers.
From the Beadle Ford Lot
The first worry we heard about 2027 was that losing the standard-output diesel meant losing capability. It doesn’t — the ratings are the same as 2026. Most buyers who tow on the lighter end are realizing the now-standard 7.3L gas covers far more than they expected, and the diesel decision comes down to how often they run heavy.
What new packages and features arrive for 2027?
Beyond the engines, 2027 brings real additions:
- Super Duty Carhartt Package — a new work-grade styling package, available on single-rear-wheel trucks.
- Tremor Off-Road on XL — the off-road package is now available on the base work trim, not just higher up the line.
- New 8-foot bed / 176-inch wheelbase — available with the High-Output diesel, for haulers who want the longer deck.
- New exterior colors added, with a few 2026 shades retired.
- Trim equipment shuffle — for example, memory power-adjustable pedals are no longer standard on Platinum.
Our Recommendation
For most ranch and farm buyers around Bowdle and Aberdeen, the 2027 simplification is good news: order the now-standard 7.3L gas for daily work and most towing, and step to the High-Output diesel only if you pull heavy and often. If you want the new Carhartt look or Tremor on an XL work truck, 2027 is the year to order it. We’ll match the build to how you actually use the truck.
Should you buy a 2026 now or order a 2027?
It comes down to the engine you want. If you specifically want the 6.8L gas V8 or the standard-output 6.7L diesel, a 2026 still on the lot is your last chance — those are gone for 2027. If you want the simplified lineup, the new Carhartt Package, or Tremor on XL, ordering a 2027 makes sense.
There’s also a value angle worth weighing, since the now-standard 7.3L was an extra-cost option in 2026. We walk through the full trade-off — including pricing and timing — in our buy a 2026 now or order a 2027 guide.

My Take on the 2027 Changes
In my experience, simpler usually means easier to buy right. Cutting the F-350 to two engines takes the guesswork out — gas for daily work and most towing, the High-Output diesel when you genuinely run heavy — without giving up any of the capability that makes a Super Duty worth owning around here.
