   Ford Expands V-8 Availability and Lowers Prices for 2027 F-150

   Ford is restructuring its 2027 F-150 truck lineup by lowering performance model prices and broadening V-8 engine availability. Buyers can access V-8 power at a lower entry point through the stripped-down F-150 XL, which pairs a 400-horsepower 5.0-liter engine with a $42,380 price tag. The V-8 option also returns to the King Ranch and Platinum trims. Additional updates to the lineup include a new 3.0-liter EcoBoost base engine, a Carhartt-branded edition, and towing capabilities added to the BlueCruise hands-free driver-assistance system, while the 2.7 EcoBoost engine continues to deliver 325 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque.
