Ford is reportedly making some big powertrain changes to the Super Duty for 2027. The company is dropping the 6.8-liter gasoline option, making Ford’s 7.3-liter Godzilla V8 the entry-level engine. The Godzilla makes 430 horsepower and 485 pound-feet of torque, and it will serve as the base engine in the F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks. That’s compared to the 405 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque from the smaller engine.
The automaker is also dropping the standard output of the 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel, according to an alleged order guide posted on the Ford Truck Enthusiasts forum. The Blue Oval will keep the high-output variant, which makes 500 horsepower and 1,200 pound-feet of torque compared to 475 horsepower and 1,050 pound-feet. This move will leave the 2027 Super Duty with just two engine choices.

The order guide also reveals other changes Ford is making to the 2027 Super Duty. The automaker will now make available the Tremor Off-Road Package on all trims, including the XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum models with the 176-inch wheelbase and 8.0-foot bed. LED lamps are also available on all Super Duty trims.
Motor1’s Take: We expect this move is reflective of what buyers actually want, who are likely upgrading to the 7.3-liter V8 in most cases. The same is likely for the high-output Power Stroke diesel, with consumers really wanting that extra torque.
