2027 F-150 Trims: XL to Raptor and Who Each Suits

What each trim from the work-ready XL to the desert-ready Raptor adds, which engines it offers, and the Central Texas driver it suits.

From work-ready to off-road, one nameplate covers very different trucks.

The 2027 F-150 trims run in eight steps: XL, STX, XLT, Lariat, Tremor, King Ranch, Platinum and Raptor. Contractors usually start with XL or STX, families with XLT or Lariat, comfort seekers with King Ranch or Platinum, and off-road drivers with Tremor or Raptor. Below, each trim gets a short take on what it adds, which engines it offers and which Hutto owner it fits.

This page belongs to our 2027 Ford F-150 guide for Hutto buyers. Comparing model years? See what changed from the 2026 F-150 first. You won't find prices here, because pricing depends on trim, options and current offers.

How many 2027 F-150 trims are there?

Ford lists eight trims for 2027: XL, STX, XLT, Lariat, Tremor, King Ranch, Platinum and Raptor. New lower-cost entry versions widen the Tremor and Raptor end, and the Carhartt edition arrives as an XLT package rather than its own trim.

Think of the lineup as a ladder, with each step adding equipment to the one below, while Tremor and Raptor branch off toward off-road hardware. Ford's 2027 announcement highlights refreshed styling, a revised engine lineup and more accessible off-road versions.

  • Work: XL and STX
  • Everyday and family: XLT and Lariat
  • Luxury: King Ranch and Platinum
  • Off-road: Tremor and Raptor

XL or STX: which work trim suits a contractor?

Choose the XL if you want the simplest F-150 for job sites and crew duty. Choose the STX for the same working basics with sportier styling and, for 2027, an available FX4 off-road package on the STX 200A group.

Both start with the new twin-turbo 3.0L EcoBoost V6, which replaces the old base 2.7L and is rated at 325 hp and 400 lb-ft. An equipment group is a bundle of features Ford sells under one order code, such as 200A; FX4 is Ford's off-road equipment package.

Pick the XL for a truck that hauls tile, lumber and tools between new builds around Hutto and takes the scrapes that come with it. Pick the STX if that same truck doubles as your weekend ride to Brushy Creek or a Friday night game.

What does the 2027 F-150 XLT add?

The XLT is where comfort and convenience start to fill in above the work trims. For 2027 it pairs the 3.0L EcoBoost V6 with a 10-speed automatic as standard, gets a new grille, and offers the new Carhartt Package and BlueCruise with Towing.

New wheel designs join the grille this year. If you are reordering a build from last year, note that the XLT 303A equipment group is dropped for 2027.

The Carhartt edition

The F-150 Carhartt is an available XLT package, not a separate trim. It suits the buyer who wants a workwear-inspired look on an XLT foundation; ask our team for the full content list.

BlueCruise with Towing

BlueCruise is Ford's hands-free highway driving assist. The 2027 is the first F-150 that can use it while towing a trailer, across more than 130,000 miles of pre-qualified divided highways. If you pull a camper from Hutto to the coast, check whether your route qualifies.

The XLT fits the Hutto household that needs one vehicle for school drop-off, hardware runs and weekend towing.

What does the 2027 F-150 Lariat add?

The Lariat moves the F-150 into premium territory with heated and ventilated ActiveX seats and Pro Power Onboard. It also brings a wide engine menu: the standard 3.0L EcoBoost, the 3.5L EcoBoost, the 3.5L PowerBoost Full-Hybrid and the 5.0L V8.

ActiveX is Ford's synthetic leather-style seat material. Pro Power Onboard is a built-in generator that runs tools, lights or a fridge from outlets on the truck, useful at a tailgate or when a Central Texas storm knocks out power. The Lariat also gets this year's new grille and wheel designs.

Choose the Lariat if your truck is your daily driver into Austin and your weekend tow vehicle for a boat at Granger Lake, and you want the choice of a V8 or a hybrid.

King Ranch or 2027 F-150 Platinum: which luxury trim fits?

Both sit above the Lariat and share the same 2027 engine choices: the 3.5L EcoBoost, the 3.5L PowerBoost hybrid and a newly optional 5.0L V8. King Ranch leans western and ranch-inspired, while Platinum leans polished and modern.

The V8 returns to both trims for the first time since 2023, rated at 400 hp and 410 lb-ft. Each also gets new grille and wheel designs for 2027.

King Ranch suits the buyer with acreage out toward Taylor or Coupland who wants western character with every comfort. Platinum suits the buyer who wants an upscale cabin and a refined look for client meetings and long highway drives.

Tremor or Raptor: which off-road trim do you need?

Choose the Tremor for trail-ready hardware on a truck you still drive every day; choose the Raptor for high-speed desert running. For 2027, both gain lower-cost entry versions, so serious off-road capability reaches more buyers.

The entry Tremor

The new entry Tremor starts from an STX, with an STX steering wheel and manual climate control, and the order guide lists it as the Tremor 400A equipment group. If your off-roading means caliche ranch roads and creek crossings east of Hutto, it is a lower-cost way into a Tremor.

The Raptor and Raptor 800A

The Raptor's high-output 3.5L EcoBoost V6 makes 450 hp and 510 lb-ft. The entry Raptor 800A keeps that engine, 35-inch tires and Fox Live Valve shocks, which adjust damping as the terrain changes, but drops the head-up display, fog lights, the 2.0 kW Pro Power Onboard and the Mobile Office Package.

Want more? The supercharged 5.2L V8, rated at 720 hp and 640 lb-ft, stays exclusive to the Raptor R.

Which engines go with the 2027 Ford F-150 trim levels?

The 3.0L EcoBoost V6 is the new base engine, the 3.5L EcoBoost and PowerBoost hybrid serve Lariat, King Ranch and Platinum, the 5.0L V8 now reaches those same three trims, and the Raptor keeps its own high-output engines.

Towing often decides the engine. Ford lists up to 8,400 lbs for the 3.0L and up to 13,500 lbs for the 3.5L EcoBoost. For output and towing detail engine by engine, read our guide to the new base V6, EcoBoost and 5.0L V8.

What do 2027 F-150 trims cost, and how do you order?

Pricing depends on trim, equipment group, engine, options and current offers, so this page lists no figures. Narrow your choice to one or two trims here, then check current pricing with the store and talk to our team about building or ordering your truck.

Frequently asked questions

Which 2027 F-150 trim is best for towing?

Towing depends more on the engine and equipment than the trim name. Ford lists up to 13,500 lbs for the 3.5L EcoBoost and 8,400 lbs for the 3.0L EcoBoost. If you tow long distances, the XLT's available BlueCruise with Towing adds hands-free driving on pre-qualified divided highways.

Is the F-150 Carhartt a separate trim?

No. Ford offers the new F-150 Carhartt as an available package on the 2027 XLT. You start with XLT equipment, including the standard 3.0L EcoBoost and 10-speed automatic, and add the Carhartt package on top. Ask our team for the package's full content when you configure your truck.

Can I get a V8 in the 2027 King Ranch or Platinum?

Yes. The 5.0L V8 is optional on both for 2027, the first time since 2023, and Ford rates it at 400 hp and 410 lb-ft. Both trims also keep the 3.5L EcoBoost and the 3.5L PowerBoost hybrid.

How much does a 2027 F-150 cost?

Pricing depends on trim, equipment group, engine, options and current offers, so we do not quote figures on this page. For current numbers, visit Covert Ford Hutto's F-150 page or ask our Hutto team to price the exact build you have in mind.

What do you give up with the entry-level Raptor?

The Raptor 800A keeps the 450 hp high-output 3.5L EcoBoost, 35-inch tires and Fox Live Valve shocks, but drops the head-up display, fog lights, the 2.0 kW Pro Power Onboard and the Mobile Office Package. If the off-road hardware matters more to you than the extras, it deserves a test drive.
