2027 Ford F-150 Gets New 3.0-Liter Base Engine and Expanded V-8 Availability

Quick Answer: The 2027 Ford F-150 is replacing its long-running 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 with a new twin-turbo 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 as the base engine, while the 5.0-liter Coyote V8 is returning as an option on the King Ranch and Platinum trims, according to a leaked dealer order guide. Ford has not issued an official announcement yet.

Ford appears to be reshuffling the engine lineup at both ends of the F-150 range for the 2027 model year. A leaked dealer order guide, first circulated on enthusiast forums, points to a new base engine alongside broader availability of the truck’s traditional V8, suggesting Ford is responding directly to renewed V8 momentum from rivals GM and Stellantis.

What is the new base engine for the 2027 F-150? The order guide shows the twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 being replaced by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6, the same basic engine family used in the Ford Explorer, Lincoln Aviator, Ranger Raptor, and Bronco Raptor, where it produces between roughly 385 and 418 horsepower depending on application.

How much power will the new engine make in a truck?

Ford has not published official output figures for the F-150 application of the 3.0-liter EcoBoost, and the automaker may tune it more conservatively so it does not encroach too closely on the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 or the 5.0-liter V8, both of which remain higher up the lineup. Even a modest tune would represent a clear step up from the outgoing 2.7-liter’s 325 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque, giving base and mid-trim buyers meaningfully more performance without moving up to a pricier engine option. The 3.0-liter will be available as standard equipment on the F-150 XL, STX, XLT, and Lariat trims.

Is the F-150 V8 coming back to more trims? Yes, the 5.0-liter Coyote V8 is returning as an available option on the King Ranch and Platinum trims for 2027, a reversal after those luxury-focused trims had previously been limited to the 3.5-liter EcoBoost and 3.5-liter PowerBoost hybrid.

Ford reverses an earlier plan to cut V8 access

The expanded V8 availability is notable because Ford had reportedly planned to significantly narrow where the 5.0-liter V8 could be ordered, initially limiting it to just five trims: XL, XLT, STX, Lariat, and Tremor. According to later reporting, Ford has since reversed that decision, restoring V8 access across most of the lineup. The timing lines up with GM’s next-generation Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500, which are introducing new 6.6-liter and 5.7-liter V8 options, and with Ram’s own return of the Hemi V8 to the 1500 lineup, suggesting the traditional V8 remains a stronger draw for full-size truck buyers than automakers previously assumed.

Is there a catch with the new 3.0-liter engine? Yes, the order guide indicates the Tow/Haul Package will not be available in combination with the new 3.0-liter EcoBoost, though buyers can still add an integrated trailer brake controller separately; Ford has not publicly explained the reasoning behind that restriction.

Other changes buried in the order guide

Beyond the engine shuffle, the leaked document points to a reorganized Raptor lineup with a new, more affordable 800A entry-level equipment group joining the existing 801A, 802A Raptor 37, and range-topping 803A Raptor R, which keeps its 5.2-liter supercharged V8. Ford is also narrowing some long-bed Lariat configurations and introducing new packages, including Chrome and Satin Appearance groups, along with a National Discount Packages page that applies automatic savings when certain equipment is ordered together. Because this information comes from a leaked, unofficial order guide, exact horsepower figures, full trim-by-trim availability, and pricing should be treated as expected rather than confirmed until Ford issues an official press release (expected/संभावित).
