Moving beyond a basic workhorse, the Ford F-150 XLT introduces distinctive style and premium features that are designed to help you relax every mile. For 2027, the XLT stands out more than ever with a redesigned grille and new bumpers. It also adds updated BlueCruise technology, lumbar support, and 12-inch capacitive touchscreens for a memorable drive to the worksite or across the country.
At Tom Wood Ford, we work tirelessly to pair you with the perfect travel companion. Let's see how this Ford full-size pickup package looks in your garage.
Under the hood, the Ford F-150 XLT enters 2027 with some exciting updates. Replacing last year's 2.7-liter V-6 engine is a new standard 3.0-liter EcoBoost V-6, delivering 325 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. This engine allows the XLT to tow up to 8,400 pounds with 4x2 or 8,200 pounds with 4x4.1
Alongside this standard engine are a 5.0-liter V-8, a 3.5-liter V-6, and a hybrid 3.5-liter V-6, with outputs scaling up to 430 horsepower and 570 pound-feet of torque. When properly equipped, the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 has the highest towing capacity, with specific configurations reaching 13,500 pounds when paired with the Tow/Haul group and specific axle ratios.1 For more information on how the XLT can improve your daily routine, including specifics concerning payload capacity, contact your local Ford dealer.
No matter which engine you choose, you'll get a 10-speed automatic transmission for easy acceleration, even when towing heavy-duty trailers. Plus, a 36-gallon fuel tank (or 30.6 gallons with the hybrid powertrain) lets you drive hundreds of miles between refills.

Exterior design is key to the Ford F-150 XLT, and 2027 brings an even more distinctive look. That starts with the new, improved grille and new wheel designs, which make it clear at a glance that you've chosen a higher-end Ford F-150. That same dedication goes into colors. You can dress your Ford F-150 up in a variety of shades, including:
For 2027, Birch Sand, Neptune Blue, and Wild Green are all-new shades, offering a mix of cool subtlety and standout designs that will help you craft the perfect personalized truck.

The 2027 Ford F-150 XLT size depends largely on two factors: the cab and the bed. Thankfully, those familiar with the XLT will notice that the lineup remains family friendly and capable.
You can also choose between two beds:
Depending on your configuration, your XLT can be 232 to 243.9 inches long. You'll have an 83.6-inch width and a cabin height between 75.3 and 78.5 inches. We recommend the SuperCrew with a 5.5-foot bed if you want a more maneuverable truck. However, both the SuperCab and SuperCrew trucks can come with the maximum-size 6.5-foot bed.


The final aspect of the Ford F-150 XLT is what it provides. In addition to the comfort and safety features found with every Ford F-150, such as Ford Co-Pilot360™ 2.0, the standard XLT package offers:


Plus, the XLT can be customized with a variety of standalone features and equipment packages to fit your needs. Let's explore some of the optional highlights:

The XLT is the third-level trim in the Ford F-150 lineup, combining rugged styling – like body-color bumpers alongside black door and tailgate handles – with a robust suite of standard features. It also offers impressive technology, including manual lumbar support, two rear USB charging ports, an electronic rear window defroster, LED fog lights, a 12-inch cluster display, and zone lighting.
"XLT" refers to a mid-level trim of the Ford F-150. Typically, this means the F-150 is more of a luxury, family-oriented truck than the work-focused XL or the STX trims, which offer simple upgrades. We recommend the F-150 XLT if you want extra comfort features, like more flexible seats with lumbar control, without investing in a high-end luxury model.
