2027 Ford Super Duty FAQ: Towing, Engines, Trims & Buying at Fillback Ford

Up to 40,000 lbs with the 6.7L High-Output Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel on a properly equipped F-450 DRW. Conventional towing figures vary by configuration, engine, axle ratio, and cab style. The F-250 with the gas engine and a 4.3 axle ratio is rated up to 18,200 lbs conventionally. Fifth-wheel ratings on the F-350 DRW diesel reach into the mid-30,000-lb range, and gooseneck ratings on the F-450 diesel climb as high as 40,000 lbs with the 40k Gooseneck Tow Package. Always verify the specific tow rating on the door jamb label of the individual truck.

How to read your truck’s tow rating

Up to 7,900 lbs on the F-350 DRW equipped with the F-350 Gas Heavy-Duty Payload Package. Payload varies by cab style, drivetrain, tire selection, trim, and option content. The door jamb label on each specific vehicle shows the certified payload for that unit. Buyers hauling heavy equipment near Prairie du Chien or Richland Center should confirm the label before loading.

The F-350 carries more. An F-350 DRW 4×2 Regular Cab with the gas engine and the Heavy-Duty Payload Package is rated at 7,900 lbs. An F-250 SRW in a comparable configuration tops out significantly lower. If payload is the primary priority, the F-350 DRW is the right starting point.

Conventional towing uses a hitch receiver at the rear bumper. Fifth-wheel towing uses a kingpin-style coupler mounted in the bed, and gooseneck towing uses a ball hitch also mounted in the bed. Fifth-wheel and gooseneck hitches distribute trailer weight over the rear axle, which is why their ratings are higher than conventional ratings on the same truck. The F-450 DRW is the most capable platform for all three hitch types.

Two engines are available. The standard engine on the F-250 and F-350 is the 7.3L 2V DEVCT NA PFI V8 Gas, producing 420 hp at 5,350 rpm and 445 lb-ft of torque at 4,250 rpm. The available engine on the 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. The diesel requires ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel and is also compatible with B20 biodiesel.

The gas 7.3L V8 is a strong choice for buyers who tow occasionally, haul moderate payloads, or prefer lower upfront cost and simpler maintenance. The 6.7L diesel delivers more torque at low rpm, higher tow ratings, and a longer powertrain warranty, which makes it the better fit for daily or commercial towing work. Buyers running livestock trailers or heavy equipment regularly through Highland or the surrounding Driftless Area terrain will find the diesel’s low-end torque advantage significant on grades.

The gas 7.3L pairs with a TorqShift-G 10-speed SelectShift Automatic with selectable drive modes: Normal, Eco, Slippery, and Tow/Haul. The 6.7L diesel uses a TorqShift 10-speed SelectShift Automatic. Both transmissions provide live-drive power takeoff access on the driver side. Off-road packages add additional modes including Off-Road/Trail and Rock Crawl.

No, not on all trims. Rear-wheel drive (4×2) is the starting configuration on most XL and XLT trims. Four-wheel drive is available across the lineup and is standard on some higher trims. Buyers in Wisconsin who deal with winter roads and rural job sites typically find 4×4 worth the investment.

Super Duty trim-by-trim feature breakdown

XL trims include SYNC 4 with an 8-inch center display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 5G Wi-Fi hotspot, Ford Pro Telematics, and a tailgate-mounted rear view camera. That is a meaningful baseline for a work truck that will be used on job sites without needing to tether a phone.

SYNC 4 powers the infotainment system across all trims. XL and XLT get an 8-inch display. Lariat and above get a 12-inch display. All trims include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an unlimited Wi-Fi hotspot, Connected Navigation, YouTube streaming capability, and Alexa Built-in.

Every 2027 Super Duty includes Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Warning, a tailgate-mounted Rear View Camera, AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control, Trailer Sway Control, four-wheel disc ABS, Hill Start Assist, front seat airbags, Safety Canopy side-curtain airbags, and the Securilock Passive Anti-Theft System.

BLIS (Blind-Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert and trailer coverage arrives on Lariat. Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go and Speed Sign Recognition is available on Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum. Pro Trailer Hitch Assist and Pro Trailer Backup Assist are standard on King Ranch and above. A digital rear view mirror is available on Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum.

Yes. An ergonomic fold-out desk work surface is available on XL, XLT, and Lariat trims, making it practical for contractors who need to review plans or complete paperwork from the truck cab.

The bumper-to-bumper warranty covers 3 years or 36,000 miles. The powertrain warranty on the gas engine covers 5 years or 60,000 miles. The Power Stroke diesel powertrain warranty covers 5 years or 100,000 miles. Ford also provides a 5-year corrosion perforation warranty with unlimited miles, and a 5-year roadside assistance program covering 60,000 miles.

The 6.7L Power Stroke diesel carries a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty, compared to 60,000 miles for the gas engine, because the diesel is built to a commercial-duty standard and Ford backs that with extended coverage. For high-mileage users and fleet operators, that additional warranty coverage is a meaningful financial consideration.
