Key Takeaways

Ford is not redesigning the F-150 for a few years yet, but it continues to improve the F-150 by updating the base engine and making higher output engines more widely available.
The F-150 is already available for order, so give us a call to get the ball rolling on your 2027 pickup truck!
The previous 2.7 liter base V6 is being upgraded to a 3.0 liter V6 for the 2027 Model year.

Is Ford updating the 2027 F-150?

Yes, Ford is updating the 2027 F-150. Ford changed the base engine from a 2.7 liter V6 to a 3.0 liter V6 so that even the base trucks have higher power engines. Beyond that Ford is rearranging how the higher powered engines are available across the trims so that there is increased availability for these engines.

Unfortunately beyond receiving a few sets of engine changes, the 2027 Ford F-150 is not changing much. This is because the popular auto maker pushed back the release of the next generation F series truck until 2029, as it is expanding its current lineup of trucks (Car and Driver). This is most likely the result of Ford releasing the new Fathom, an electric midsized truck within the next couple of years. Once the hype dies down from the new EV, Ford will most likely release the next gen F-150.

Can I already order a new 2027 Ford F-150?

Yes you can already order a new 2027 Ford F-150! Ford released the official 2027 order guide in July 2026 and dealer order banks are currently accepting retail configurations. This means that you have the chance to start piecing together your own Ford truck for the new year. Call us now to get the ball rolling on your brand new Ford F-150!

While the F-series truck may not be changing much in the new year, it comes with plenty of features that make it worth choosing over the heavy competition in the full sized pickup truck segment. The F-150 offers some great features for those who need a serious working or adventure pickup like Pro-Power Onboard, which can turn your truck into a generator and put out up to 2.4 kW on standard gas models and up to 7.2 kW on the hybrid model (Ford).

What engine will the 2027 F-150 have?

Ford is replacing the previous standard 2.7-liter V6 with a 3.0-liter V6, the same engine family currently found in the Ranger Raptor and Bronco Raptor (Car and Driver). Exact output figures for the F-150 version have not been announced yet, but the engine produces 405 horsepower in the Ranger Raptor and 418 horsepower in the Bronco Raptor. This is one of the biggest changes coming to the 2027 F-150.

Since the 2026 F-150's base engine starts at 325 horsepower, the new 3.0-liter V6 should give buyers a noticeable bump in power. It is reasonable to expect the new base engine to make at least somewhere around 350 horsepower, although Ford has not released official figures yet. Buyers looking for even more power will still have several options available, including the 3.5-liter V6 and 5.0-liter V8, both of which currently produce 400 horsepower in the F-150.

Ford will also continue offering its hybrid setup, which combines a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 with an electric motor to produce 430 horsepower. With several engine choices ranging from the newly upgraded base motor to the V8 and hybrid powertrains, there should be a solid setup available for just about every type of buyer. Depending on the configuration, F-150 towing capacity will reach all the way up to 13,500 pounds, giving the truck plenty of capability for work, trailers, boats, and weekend adventures.

Summary

The Ford F-150 continues to be America's best-selling truck, and the 2027 model looks ready to keep offering the versatility that has made it so popular. Whether you need something for commuting, hauling equipment, towing, weekend adventures, or a little bit of everything, there is an F-150 configuration built for the job.

2026 Ford F-150

Ford F-Series pickups have been impossible to beat for over 50 years. The F-150 is first in the American consciousness when it comes to towing muscle, everyday reliability, and ample engine options. Fourteen generations after it first rolled off the assembly line, the F-150 still covers just about every need you could have. Let's take a closer look at the most recent model year. Inventory Contact Key Takeaways Ford made only minor changes to the Ford F-150 for 2026. Multiple engine choices are available across trims. The F-150 is one of the most powerful towers in its segment. What Are the Changes to the 2026 Ford F-150? Changes for the F-150 are relatively minor this year. Ford replaces the hues Avalanche and Darkened Bronze with Space White Metallic and Marsh Grey. The automaker streamlined the pickup's exterior on its premium trims by moving the entry keypad from factory-installation to a dealer-installed option. Ford also made changes to its BlueCruise system to give drivers a more intuitive hands-free driving experience. You have endless choices when picking out the 2026 Ford F-150. It comes in six trim levels--the XL, STX, XLT, Lariat, Platinum and King Ranch. Off-road-oriented pickups, the Tremor, Raptor, and Raptor R, are also available. Ford offers the truck in regular, SuperCab (extended), and SuperCrew (crew cab) cab styles, with three bed lengths depending on the cab style you choose. As for powertrains--buckle up! Powertrain Choices Galore in the Ford F-150 Ford's engine lineup is the stuff of legend, and buyers are lucky to have access to one of the broadest powertrain ranges in the segment. A 10-speed automatic is standard across the board with your choice of RWD or FWD. Here's how engines (and fuel efficiency) break down across the board: 2.7L twin-turbo V6: 325 hp, 400 lb-ft (19 mpg city / 25 mpg highway) 5.0L V8: 400 hp, 410 lb-ft (16 mpg city / 24 mpg highway) 3.5L twin-turbo V6: 400 hp, 500 lb-ft (18 city / 24 highway) 3.5L twin-turbo V6 (Raptor): 450 hp, 510 lb-ft (14 city / 18 highway) 3.5L hybrid V6: 430 hp, 570 lb-ft (25 city / 26 highway) 5.2L supercharged V8 (Raptor R): 700 hp, 640 lb-ft (10 city / 15 highway) The F-150 is also a beast at towing and hauling. Should you opt for the SuperCrew with the 3.5L V6, four-wheel drive, and 6.5-foot bed, you can tow up to 13,500 pounds. In comparison, a Regular Cab with rear-wheel drive and an 8-foot bed hauls up to 2,445 pounds. Creature and Tech Comforts Inside the Ford F-150 The F-150 is both utilitarian and comfortable. No matter the trim, the front seats are supportive; as you go up in trim levels, you have the option of heating, ventilation, and massaging. Cabins are spacious and accommodating for taller occupants and car seats. Exterior noise is minimal. Tech in the F-150 feels modern, thanks to a standard 12-inch digital gauge cluster that displays everything you need to know, from towing info to off-road data. Next to it is a 12-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You also have access to wireless charging, over-the-air updates, an optional Bang & Olufsen 14-speaker stereo system, built-in Wi-Fi, and a head-up display in higher trims. Are You Ready to Experience the Might of the Ford F-150? Ford didn't fully redesign the F-150, but that's exactly what makes it a popular choice among buyers. Why fix what's not broken?

2026 Ford Maverick

If you've been eyeing the Ford Maverick, you already know it's a small truck that punches well above its weight. Don't expect any big surprises from the Mav this year; what you will get is a strong engine lineup, great fuel economy, top towing and hauling capability, and a comfortable, high-tech cabin. The Mav also has won MotorTrend's prestigious "Truck of the Year" honors. Here's everything you need to know about the 2026 Ford Maverick! Inventory Contact Key Takeaways As of June 9, 2026, Mav trim pricing ranges from $29,990 to $43,270. There are no major changes to the Maverick following 2025's full update. The Maverick can tow up to 4,000 pounds when properly equipped. Changes for the Ford Maverick in 2026 The Maverick got its big styling overhaul last year, so '26 is more about fine-tuning than reinventing the wheel. The optional turbo four-cylinder is now offered with FWD (though that combo is limited to the base XL trim). Classic blue Ford ovals replace blacked-out Ford logos exclusive to the Tremor and Lobo trims. And Marsh Gray and Orange Fury Metallic join the color palette, while Ford retires Eruption Green and Desert Sand. MSRP* for 2026 Ford Maverick trim levels is: XL: $29,990 XLT: $32,490 Lobo Standard: $37,775 Lariat: $39,935 Tremor: $42,490 Lobo High: $43,270 Ford Maverick Drivetrains, Towing Prowess and Fuel Economy The Maverick gives you two solid powertrain options to choose from. The standard 2.5-liter hybrid delivers 191 horses through a CVT and comes standard with FWD or available AWD for extra traction. The 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder jumps that number up to 250 horsepower; it mates to an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive as standard. The off-road-oriented Lobo trim also gets something new this year--a seven-speed automatic with paddle shifters for a noticeably sportier, more responsive feel. Both engines hold their own regarding capability, with 1,500 pounds of payload and 2,000 pounds of towing right out of the box. Opt for the towing package, and that number climbs to 4,000 pounds, which is plenty for a small boat, lightweight camper, or whatever you like to haul. Fuel economy is where the Mav really shines. Its FWD hybrid version gets up to 42 mpg city and 35 mpg highway, while the AWD hybrid comes in at 40 city and 34 highway. The turbo four-cylinder is no slouch either, with 22 city and 30 highway. Interior Comfort and Tech of the 2026 Maverick Every Maverick comes as a crew cab, so four doors and back seat room for adults are always part of the deal. Even the base XL is well-equipped with remote keyless entry, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, and driver lumbar support. Move up to the XLT or Lariat to add things like dual-zone climate control, power front seats, and ambient lighting. The 4.5-foot bed allows you to drop the tailgate to swallow about 18 sheets of plywood flat. A 12-volt outlet is standard in the bed, and you can add a 110-volt outlet if you need to run tools or charge equipment on the job. Every 2026 Maverick features a 13.2-inch touchscreen with Ford's latest software, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot. Options include SiriusXM, a wireless charging pad, and a B&O sound system that does a great job filling the cabin. How Can You Get into a 2026 Maverick? The Maverick lineup is in our showroom now! If you've been waiting for a small truck with genuine power, great efficiency, real-world utility, and a comfortable ride, the Mav has all that and more!

2026 Ford Explorer

The Ford Explorer is the pick for a reliable family SUV because it tackles daily driving duties without breaking a sweat. Whether you need to haul the kids, pack in a bunch of gear, or just want an SUV that can take on weekend trails, the Explorer hits all the marks. Let's break down the details of one of the car company's most popular SUVs here. Inventory Contact Key Takeaways As of 2026, the Ford Explorer's trims start at just over $40K. An adventurous, trail-ready Tremor trim enters the lineup. The SUV keeps its powerful engine choices from the previous year. When parked, you have Google Play access to stream video content, play digital games, or surf the web. What's Changed for the 2026 Ford Explorer? The Explorer's 2026 changes revolve around the new Tremor trim. Designed for off-road excursions, it features a raised suspension, a rear limited-slip differential, all-terrain rubber, and 18-inch wheels. Beyond the Tremor's debut, the other trims in the Explorer family are business as usual. Model pricing is: Active: $40,260 ST-Line: $46,950 Tremor: $50,760 Platinum: $52,760 ST: $56,700 2026 Ford Explorer Performance and Towing The standard engine for the Active, ST-Line, and Platinum is the reliable 300-hp turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder. If you move up to the performance-minded ST, you unlock a punchy 400-hp twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6. (This engine is also available as an option on the luxury-focused Platinum.) A 10-speed automatic transmission handles shifting duties for all. Rear-wheel drive is standard, though you can upgrade to all-wheel drive on any trim. When configured with the Class III Towing package--complete with a receiver hitch, wiring harness, and trailer sway control--the Explorer maxes out at a 5,000-pound towing capacity, making it perfect for pulling small boats, pop-up campers, or utility trailers. The Explorer's Real-World Fuel Efficiency The rear-wheel-drive four-cylinder achieves 20 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. Choosing all-wheel drive drops that highway estimate down just a bit to 27 mpg. Comfort and Connectivity Inside the 2026 Ford Explorer The Explorer's upgraded soft-touch surfaces, fresh interior color schemes, and streamlined dash layout from the '25 refresh make it a winner in comfort. And while the third row is ideal for smaller passengers, the sliding second-row seats make climbing back there a breeze. The infotainment system is one of the Explorer's major selling points. Every trim level features the Ford Digital Experience interface, a 13.2-inch touchscreen with integrated Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and native support for Google and Amazon applications. When the Explorer is safely parked, occupants can stream video content, play digital games, or surf the web using Google Play. To keep everyone's devices charged, you'll find eight USB ports across all three rows, alongside three traditional 12-volt plugs. The vast majority of the lineup features a premium 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system, leaving only the entry-level Active with the baseline audio. Is the 2026 Explorer the Right Choice for You? By adding the trail-focused Tremor trim, the 2026 Explorer holds its ground against tough midsize SUV competitors. We would love to get you behind the wheel for a firsthand look!
