What Ford Is Discontinuing for 2027

Ford is closing out two nameplates and trimming engines, packages, and special editions across its truck and SUV lineup for 2027. Most of the cuts are small (an engine swap here, a package folded into another there), but a few change what you can order. Here is the rundown, so you know exactly what to expect when you visit Kunes Auto Group of Mt. Carroll.

The Escape is gone; the last one rolled off the Louisville line in December 2025, which makes the 2026 model year its final one (the Lincoln Corsair ended the same day, and the Bronco Sport is now Ford's only compact SUV). The all-electric F-150 Lightning also ended production in December 2025, and Ford says a next-generation extended-range version is coming (no launch timing has been announced). Under the hood, the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 is gone from the F-150 and the Bronco. On the F-150, the 3.0L EcoBoost V6 is now standard on the XL, STX, and XLT, and three equipment groups have been deleted: STX FX4 High (201A), XLT High (303A), and the Lariat Standard (500A) on the 157-inch wheelbase (the content in each is still available as separate options). The Bronco Stroppe Edition is gone, and Super Duty loses the 6.8L gas V8 and the standard-output 6.7L Power Stroke diesel, leaving the 7.3L gas V8 and the high-output 6.7L diesel. On the Maverick, the XL and Lariat are now hybrid only, which leaves the 2.0L turbo to the XLT with all-wheel drive, the Lobo, and the Tremor.

The Bronco picks up a 380-hp 3.0L EcoBoost V6 on the Outer Banks, Heritage, and four-door Badlands (optional), and it is standard on the new Filson edition; the RTR joins the lineup in early 2027. The F-150 brings the 5.0L V8 back to more trims, including King Ranch and Platinum. The Maverick simplifies its FX4 Off-Road Package (now included on the XLT with all-wheel drive) and no longer ties the 4K Tow Package to Co-Pilot360. Tremor is now available on every Super Duty trim, and Super Duty gains a Platinum trim on the F-550 chassis cab. Details come from dealer order guides and press reports, so ask our team to confirm the exact trim and package on the truck you want.
