Eight distinctly different trims let buyers prioritize work capability, value, comfort, luxury, off-road performance or some combination of them.
Style Meets Value
2027 Ford F-150 STX
STX gives buyers a more expressive F-150 without immediately moving into the price and equipment levels of the higher trims.

Everyday All-Rounder
2027 Ford F-150 XLT
XLT sits in the heart of the lineup. Its broad range of configurations makes it a natural fit for work, family use, commuting, towing and weekend recreation.
Research F-150 XLT →
Premium Daily Driver
2027 Ford F-150 Lariat
Lariat moves F-150 into substantially more premium territory while preserving the towing, hauling and bed utility expected from a full-size Ford pickup.
Research F-150 Lariat →
Off-Road Capability
2027 Ford F-150 Tremor
Tremor adds real off-road hardware without moving all the way to Raptor. It combines increased ride height, off-road shocks, skid plates, 33-inch all-terrain tires, electronic locking rear differential and Ford trail-driving technology.
Research F-150 Tremor →

High-Performance Off-Road
2027 Ford F-150 Raptor
Raptor goes substantially farther than Tremor. It is a purpose-built high-performance off-road truck with a wider stance, specialized suspension, aggressive tires and dramatically different chassis hardware.
Raptor is built for buyers who prioritize terrain capability, suspension performance and high-speed off-road driving rather than conventional pickup-truck value.
Research F-150 Raptor → Tremor vs. Raptor
Two Off-Road F-150s With Very Different Missions
Tremor and Raptor both add substantial capability beyond a conventional F-150 4x4, but they are designed for different buyers.
Tremor keeps more of the everyday usability, towing focus and conventional dimensions of a regular F-150 while adding meaningful off-road hardware.
Raptor is a dedicated high-performance off-road platform. Its suspension, track width, tires, bodywork and powertrain are built around significantly more aggressive terrain use.
- Tremor uses 33-inch all-terrain tires.
- Tremor includes increased ride height.
- Tremor includes off-road front and rear shocks.
- Tremor includes skid plates and tow hooks.
- Tremor includes Rock Crawl mode.
- Tremor includes Trail Control.
- Tremor includes Trail 1-Pedal Drive.
- Tremor includes Trail Turn Assist.
2027 F-150 Powertrains
Engine Choice Can Matter as Much as Trim
The 2027 model year brings meaningful powertrain changes, including a new 3.0L EcoBoost V6 replacing the previous 2.7L EcoBoost across much of the lineup.
3.0L
EcoBoost V6
Current 2027 order-guide reporting identifies a new 3.0L EcoBoost V6 as the replacement for the previous 2.7L EcoBoost.
3.5L
EcoBoost V6
The 3.5L EcoBoost remains an important choice for buyers focused on torque, towing and higher-output truck configurations.
5.0L
V8
The naturally aspirated V8 remains part of the 2027 lineup, including availability on several premium and off-road configurations.
Hybrid
PowerBoost
PowerBoost combines EcoBoost V6 power with hybrid assistance for buyers interested in strong torque and available Pro Power Onboard.
Tremor
Multiple Powertrain Choices
Tremor combines its specialized off-road chassis with available engine choices designed to keep capability and performance at the center of the truck.
Raptor
High-Output Performance
Raptor and Raptor R sit at the extreme performance end of the F-150 powertrain range.
F-150 Capability
Trim Is Only One Part of Building the Right Truck
Maximum towing and payload can change substantially based on engine, cab, bed, drivetrain, axle ratio, equipment packages and the individual truck's weight.
That means two trucks wearing the same F-150 trim badge can have very different towing, payload and everyday-use characteristics.
- Choose the right cab for passengers and storage.
- Choose bed length around how you haul cargo.
- Match the engine to your towing requirements.
- Choose 4x4 when traction or terrain requires it.
- Check axle ratio before assuming towing capacity.
- Verify the payload label on the individual truck.
- Account for passengers, cargo and tongue weight.
