The 2027 Ford Super Duty lineup arrives with three changes that affect nearly every buyer: a simplified engine menu, a broader Tremor reach, and a new work-themed package that makes a big first impression on Long Island job sites.
Nassau County contractors, weekend towers, and serious haulers have a clearer decision this model year because Ford streamlined the powertrain choices and expanded off-road access. Here is what changed, what stayed the same, and what it means if you are shopping F-250s, F-350s, or F-450s at Levittown Ford.
Bottom Line: The 2027 Super Duty simplifies and strengthens its lineup with key moves.
- 7.3L gas V8 is now the standard engine on every trim - no more base V6
- Single High Output diesel (500 hp, 1,200 lb-ft) replaces two diesel tiers
- Tremor Off-Road Package now available across all trims and on the 8-foot bed
- New Carhartt Package brings work-truck styling to the XLT Crew Cab 4x4
Engine Lineup: Simplified to Two
The biggest structural change for 2027 is the engine menu. Ford cut three engines down to two, and the result is a simpler, more powerful starting point for every Super Duty buyer.
The 7.3L gas V8 - a naturally aspirated, port-fuel-injected engine producing 420 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque - is now the standard engine on F-250 and F-350 across all trims. The previous base 6.8L gas V8 and the standard-output 6.7L Power Stroke diesel are both gone. For Nassau County buyers who previously felt the base diesel was underpowered or the 6.8L gas felt like a compromise, that situation is resolved.

The Single High Output Diesel
The 6.7L High Output Power Stroke diesel is now the only diesel offered. It produces 500 horsepower and 1,200 lb-ft of torque - numbers that land at the top of the full-size heavy-duty segment. This engine is optional on F-250 and F-350, and it is standard on the F-450.
With a single diesel tier, there is no more debate between standard-output and high-output diesel at the dealer. If you want a diesel Super Duty, you get the top diesel. For Nassau County contractors who run job sites from Levittown to East Meadow and need to pull heavy equipment trailers on the regular, that is a meaningful simplification.
What Was Discontinued
The 6.7L standard-output Power Stroke diesel and the 6.8L gas V8 are gone. Argon Blue Metallic and Avalanche paint are also discontinued, replaced by Neptune Blue as a new color addition.
Tremor Off-Road Package: Now Available on Every Trim
In prior years, the Tremor Off-Road Package was available only on the upper trim levels of the Super Duty. For 2027, Ford opened the Tremor to every trim, including XL, and extended availability to the 8-foot bed on XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum.
The Tremor package brings 35-inch off-road tires, an electronic-locking rear differential, a front limited-slip differential, raised front springs, performance shocks, off-road running boards, skid plates, water-fording vent tubes, and the Rock Crawl, Trail Control, and Trail Turn Assist drive modes. This is the same off-road hardware on an XL work truck as it is on a Platinum - a first for Super Duty.
For Nassau County buyers who need a capable off-road truck for weekend use, construction site access, or beach-ramp driving at Robert Moses, the Tremor package availability on the XL means you no longer have to climb into Lariat pricing to get it.
The 8-foot bed expansion is significant for tradespeople and contractors. Previously, the Tremor was limited to shorter-wheelbase configurations. Now Long Island contractors can spec a long-bed Super Duty with the Tremor’s full off-road package.
"Opening the Tremor to every Super Duty trim is a major move for Nassau County buyers who need real off-road capability without a Lariat price tag. It changes the math on the XL and XLT considerably."

New Super Duty Carhartt Package
The Super Duty Carhartt Package is a new addition exclusive to the XLT Crew Cab 4x4 configuration. It combines branded work-truck aesthetics with genuine functional upgrades in a single factory-built package.
The Carhartt Package includes a unique dark painted grille, 20-inch machined and painted wheels on LT275/65R20 all-terrain tires, LED roof marker and clearance lamps, LED reflector headlamps, LED fog lamps, off-road running boards in a textured matte finish, Carhartt lower rocker and tailgate graphics with color accents, Carhartt fender vents, triple-stitched door trim, gray Carhartt-themed cloth seats, and a Tough Bed spray-in bedliner with tailgate guard and black box tie-down hooks.
This is a factory package, not a dealer modification. That distinction matters for warranty and resale reasons. The Carhartt Package gives Nassau County tradespeople a truck that looks purpose-built without aftermarket risk.
The Carhartt Package cannot be combined with the Tremor or Black Appearance package on the same build. It is specific to the XLT Crew Cab 4x4 single rear wheel.

More 2027 Updates Worth Knowing
4x4 Standard on King Ranch and Platinum
Starting with the 2027 model year, 4x4 is standard on King Ranch and Platinum. Both trims are Crew Cab-only configurations. For buyers at those price points, the 4x2 decision has been removed from the equation - you get 4x4 as part of the base build.
New XL Off-Road 35-Inch Tire Package
Separate from the Tremor, Ford added a new XL Off-Road 35-inch Tire Package for the XL Crew Cab 4x4. It delivers the same 35-inch tire, locking-axle, suspension and trail-mode hardware as the Tremor but on 18-inch Sparkle Silver wheels at the XL price point. Combined with the Tremor expansion, the 2027 Super Duty is the most accessible off-road-ready heavy-duty truck Ford has built.
Neptune Blue and Platinum-Level Upgrades
Neptune Blue joins the exterior color lineup as the new addition for 2027, replacing the discontinued Argon Blue Metallic and Avalanche. A digital rearview mirror is newly available. At the Platinum level, On-Board Scales and Smart Hitch are now optional for buyers managing heavy payloads with precision.
F-250 High Capacity Axle Upgrade
The F-250 High Capacity Axle Upgrade is now available with the High Output diesel, adding an 11.6-inch axle and raising the GVWR up to 11,400 lb. Nassau County contractors running at maximum gross vehicle weight will want to evaluate this option.

The 2027 Ford Super Duty raises the floor for every buyer in the lineup. A standard 7.3L gas engine, a single top-spec diesel, and Tremor availability from XL to Platinum remove compromises that previously existed at the entry level and mid levels.
