2027 Ford Super Duty comes with significant configuration upgrades, offering 35-inch large tires

[PCauto] As the absolute leader in the North American Heavy Duty Pickup market, Ford F-Series Super Duty's every update commands the attention of the entire industry.

Recently, Ford officially announced the 2027 Super Duty series facelift details.

Although this is not a complete redesign, its targeted adjustments to meet market demands are like a perfect "wishlist" fulfillment for car owners.

Among the updates, the most striking is Ford's comprehensive enhancement of off-road performance. The 35-inch large tires, which were previously exclusive to higher-end models, are now available for the entry-level XL models for the first time.

Meanwhile, the top luxury trim Platinum, no longer exclusive to passenger pickups, has officially been extended to the Chassis Cab models from F-350 to F-550.

The Rise of the XL Base Model: 35-inch Giant Tires Added

In the 2027 model lineup, Ford introduced an option package named XL Off-Road 35-Inch Tire Package.

As the name suggests, it offers the most basic XL Crew Cab 4x4 model with 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac all-terrain tires.

This is not only a visual shock but also brings a substantial increase in ground clearance.

Interestingly, this option package deliberately omits any flashy decals or stickers. This "plain car" design is specifically tailored for forestry, mining, and utility fleet vehicles, making it convenient for companies to add their own branding.

In addition to the big tires, this option package also includes a series of practical features: electronic rear locking differential, limited-slip front differential, performance-tuned shock absorbers, transfer case and fuel tank skid plates, as well as Trail Control and Rock Crawl drive modes.

The previously launched 33-inch off-road package has been renamed as XL Off-Road 33-Inch Tire Package.

Expansion of the Tremor Family: A Blessing for Long Bed Truck Owners

For true heavy-duty users, cargo box capacity is productivity.

Previously, the off-road performance-centered Tremor Package was only available with a 6.75-foot standard cargo box. But for the 2027 models, Ford has finally compromised, and the Tremor Package is now available on models with a 176-inch wheelbase Crew Cab paired with an 8-foot Long Box.

This change means you can have top-tier off-road capabilities while enjoying a massive fuel tank of approximately 182 liters.

Imagine a beast equipped with a 6.7L Power Stroke turbo diesel engine, carrying 182 liters of fuel. Its range and off-grid survival capabilities will reach astonishing levels.

Platinum Introduction to Chassis Cab

If the XL upgrade is for "work," then the introduction of the Platinum model to the Chassis Cab is for enjoying life.

The chassis of the F-350, F-450, and F-550 is typically modified into high-end horse trailers, luxury motorhomes, or professional racecar transporters.

Previously, owners of such vehicles often faced an awkward situation: the equipment towed behind could be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, yet the driving cabin was as basic as a tractor.

The 2027 Platinum Chassis Cab completely solves this problem. The interior features top-grade leather seats with heating, ventilation, and massage functions, and the SYNC 4 system with advanced voice recognition capability is equipped on the center console.

The head of Ford Pro admitted that if owners are willing to spend a lot of money customizing the rear cabin, then the front cabin should match the same level of refinement.

Meeting the needs of consumers requiring modifications

For a long time, pickup truck owners, after purchasing the XL base model, would first head to modification shops to replace wheels or upgrade suspensions.

Now, Ford has taken over these configurations with factory-certified engineering, not only earning profit through optional upgrades but also providing customers with comprehensive factory warranties.

Introducing Platinum into the Chassis Cab segment precisely hits the competition. In that high-end market focusing on customization, the luxury level of interior often determines the final vehicle price.

The core competitive strategy for the 2027 Super Duty is no longer to refresh torque numbers, which are already lofty, but rather to thoroughly address every pain point of the users.

The ordering system for the 2027 Ford Super Duty series is expected to officially open in May 2026, and specific package prices will be announced before the launch.

As a reference, the starting price of the current F-350 Platinum DRW in the US is about $82,495, approximately 325,000 MYR.
