In a strategic move to meet clear customer demand, Ford has announced significant updates for the 2027 Ford Super Duty lineup. The forthcoming model year will democratize high-demand features, making robust off-road packages available on entry-level XL trims and extending the luxurious Platinum trim to its heavy-duty chassis cab workhorses. Order books are slated to open in May, signaling a major enhancement for one of America’s most popular truck lines.
More Off-Road Capability for More Buyers
Ford’s F-series has long dominated the U.S. market as the nation’s bestselling vehicle line, and the Super Duty is a critical part of that success. For 2027, Ford is making its trail-focused hardware more accessible than ever.
Tremor Package Expands to XL Trim
The popular Tremor package, a badge synonymous with rugged capability across Ford’s truck and SUV lineup since its 2020 Super Duty debut, is breaking new ground. For the first time, buyers can equip the base XL trim with the Tremor package, provided it includes the STX Appearance package.
This combination delivers a potent off-road setup, including:
- 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac tires
- A purpose-built lifted suspension
- An electronic locking rear differential
- Protective skid plates
- Advanced software like Trail Control and a dedicated Rock Crawl mode
Furthermore, Ford has confirmed that the Tremor package can now be added to crew-cab models equipped with the eight-foot cargo bed, a configuration the company states was highly requested by customers.
New XL Off-Road Package with 35-Inch Tires
Responding directly to feedback from commercial clients in fields like forestry, mining, and utilities, Ford is introducing an even more aggressive off-road option for its work-focused models. The new XL Off-Road 35-Inch Tire package is designed for those who require maximum ground clearance and traction.
This package transforms the base truck with a taller ride height, chunky 35-inch tires, a limited-slip front differential, and an electronic locking rear differential. It also includes upgraded dampers and the full suite of Ford’s off-road tech, such as Trail Turn Assist and Rock Crawl mode. The previous XL Off-Road package, which featured 33-inch tires, will be renamed to reflect its tire size.

Platinum Trim Elevates Chassis Cabs
On the other end of the spectrum, Ford is catering to customers who use their F-350, F-450, and F-550 chassis cabs for high-end applications and desire a more premium experience. For 2027, the top-tier Platinum trim will be available on these workhorses for the first time. This move allows for upfitted vehicles, such as luxury haulers or high-end service bodies, to feature the same level of comfort and technology found in Ford’s premium consumer trucks.
What’s Next
The 2027 updates to the Ford Super Duty lineup demonstrate a keen focus on customer feedback, delivering both rugged, accessible performance and high-end luxury where it was most requested. By expanding the availability of 35-inch tires and the Tremor package to base models, Ford is acknowledging that off-road capability is no longer a niche desire. Simultaneously, the addition of the Platinum trim to chassis cabs proves that a work truck doesn’t have to be spartan.
Pricing for these new packages and trims is expected to be announced closer to the vehicle’s on-sale date later this year. These strategic enhancements are set to solidify the Super Duty’s position as a versatile and dominant force in the heavy-duty truck market.
