2027 Ford F-150: Dacono Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: The 2027 Ford F-150 at a Glance
The 2027 F-150 lists at $40,155 for the XL and climbs through the STX ($42,675), XLT ($46,525), Lariat ($57,730), Tremor ($59,975), King Ranch ($66,155) and Platinum ($69,130) to the off-road Raptor at $75,325, with the supercharged Raptor R above it. Every figure is MSRP before Ford's $2,795 destination charge. The headline change is a new 3.0L twin-turbo V6 (325 hp, 400 lb-ft) in place of the old 2.7L, and the 5.0L V8 is now offered across the lineup from XL through Platinum. Max tow rating is 13,500 lbs and max payload is 2,430 lbs on the 3.5L EcoBoost. Interstate Ford at 120 Laura Court in Dacono works with truck shoppers up and down the I-25 corridor, from Longmont and Erie to Broomfield and Boulder.
What actually changed for 2027
Ford kept the F-150's shell as it was and spent the year on the parts you notice after a few weeks of ownership. The 2.7L EcoBoost is retired. Its replacement is a 3.0L twin-turbo V6 that makes the same 325 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque on paper, but reaches peak torque lower in the rev range, which Ford says adds roughly 10 to 11 percent more pull in everyday driving. It is the standard engine on the XL, STX, XLT and Lariat.
The 5.0L V8 comes back to King Ranch and Platinum for the first time since 2023, so a V8 can now be ordered on every trim from XL through Platinum, Tremor included (on the STX it comes with the Lobo Package). The XLT, Lariat, King Ranch and Platinum also get a new grille and new wheel designs. Two new entry configurations lower the door price on the off-road trucks, one for Tremor (the 400A group) and one for Raptor (the 800A group). And Ford added BlueCruise with Towing, which allows hands-free highway driving with a trailer behind you on pre-qualified divided highways, plus the first-ever F-150 Carhartt Package for the XLT SuperCrew 4x4.
Six engines, and what a mile of elevation does to them
Dacono sits at roughly 5,000 feet, and the usual rule of thumb is that a naturally aspirated engine gives up about 3 percent of its power for every thousand feet you climb. Turbocharged engines hold onto more of their output because the turbos spin faster to make up for thinner air, which is one reason the EcoBoost V6 engines are so popular along the Front Range. Here is the full lineup as Ford rates it.
The 3.0L EcoBoost V6 makes 325 hp and 400 lb-ft and tows up to 8,400 lbs. The 3.5L EcoBoost V6 makes 400 hp and 500 lb-ft, tows up to 13,500 lbs and carries up to 2,430 lbs, the numbers Ford calls best in class among gas trucks. The 5.0L V8 makes 400 hp and 410 lb-ft with a 12,800-lb tow rating. The 3.5L PowerBoost full hybrid adds an electric motor for 430 hp and 570 lb-ft, tows up to 12,100 lbs and can be ordered with a 7.2 kW Pro Power Onboard generator, enough to run a job site or keep a freezer cold through a storm outage. The Raptor uses a 450-hp high-output 3.5L V6, and the Raptor R uses a 720-hp supercharged 5.2L V8.

Why this truck fits the Front Range
A normal week for a Weld County or Boulder County owner can include a commute on I-25, a Saturday of hauling mulch or a camper, and a drive up I-70 past the Eisenhower Tunnel, which tops 11,000 feet. Winter adds a spring-style snowstorm every few weeks and Colorado can activate a traction law on the mountain corridor, so four-wheel drive and good tires matter more here than in a flatter state. Spring and summer bring hail season along the foothills. XL through Platinum come in 4x2 or 4x4, while Tremor and Raptor are 4x4 only, and Ford's cab and bed combinations run from a Regular Cab with an eight-foot box to a SuperCrew with a 5.5-foot or 6.5-foot bed, so the truck can be sized to the job.
The new hands-free towing feature is worth a look if you pull a trailer on long highway stretches. BlueCruise only works on divided highways Ford has pre-mapped, and you still keep your eyes on the road, so check Ford's coverage map for the routes you actually drive before counting on it.
What Dacono F-150 buyers say
Interstate Ford carries a 4.7-star average across roughly 3,900 Google reviews, and a lot of them come from truck buyers. Allen L. wrote: "Best car-buying experience yet! ... I love my new F-150!" Luis M., who came in looking for a new F150 for his family, said: "Interstate Ford and their whole team were great, from the minute I drove up to the minute I drove out in my new truck!" and added: "Very knowledgeable and helpful answering any questions I had. By far one of best, easiest and fastest experiences I’ve had when buying a new vehicle!!!"

Frequently asked questions
What is new on the 2027 Ford F-150?
The main changes are a new 3.0L EcoBoost V6 as the standard engine, the return of the 5.0L V8 on King Ranch and Platinum, new grilles and wheels on XLT through Platinum, BlueCruise with Towing, the first F-150 Carhartt Package, and lower-priced entry versions of the Tremor and Raptor. Ford also added three paint colors (Birch Sand, Neptune Blue and Wild Green) and an optional Ford Security Package.
How much does a 2027 Ford F-150 cost?
Ford lists MSRP from $40,155 for the XL to $75,325 for the Raptor, before the $2,795 destination charge, taxes and registration. The XLT at $46,525 is the starting point for many buyers who want heated seats and a wider engine choice, and the actual selling price on any truck is set by the dealer.
What is the best Ford F-150 to buy?
It depends on the work the truck does. The XL and STX suit crews and budget buyers, the XLT covers the widest mix of engines and options, the Lariat adds the comfort and trailer-assist equipment, and Tremor or Raptor make sense if you leave the pavement. Reading the guide for the trim you are leaning toward and then driving it back to back with its neighbor is the quickest way to find out.
Is Ford coming out with a new V8 for the 2027 F-150?
Not a new one, but the existing 5.0L V8 (400 hp, 410 lb-ft) is now offered across the line, and it returns to King Ranch and Platinum after being absent since 2023. The Raptor R keeps its own supercharged 5.2L V8 rated at 720 hp.
Which F-150 engine is best at altitude?
For Front Range buyers, the turbocharged engines (3.0L and 3.5L EcoBoost, and the PowerBoost hybrid with its electric motor) tend to feel less affected by thin air than a naturally aspirated V8, which loses roughly 3 percent per thousand feet by the common rule of thumb. The V8 is still a popular choice for its sound and its 12,800-lb tow rating.
Does Interstate Ford serve buyers outside Dacono?
Yes. Many shoppers drive in from Longmont, Erie, Broomfield, Firestone, Frederick and Boulder, and the store also helps out-of-state buyers. You can browse new inventory, see F-150s for sale in Colorado, or call sales at 720-407-3462.

MSRP figures are Ford’s published starting prices for each trim and exclude the $2,795 destination charge, taxes, title, registration, dealer fees and optional equipment. The dealer sets the actual selling price. Towing, payload and horsepower figures are Ford’s published maximums and depend on engine, cab, bed, axle and equipment. BlueCruise is a driver-assist feature that works only on pre-qualified highways and requires an active plan; the driver must stay attentive. Elevation and power-loss figures are general rules of thumb. Customer quotes are excerpts from public Google reviews of Interstate Ford.
