Ford Expedition Celebrates Three Decades of Adventure

For drivers in Franklin, Kentucky, and the surrounding Bowling Green area, getting outdoors is part of the lifestyle. The all-new 2027 Ford Bronco Filson is designed for those who want an SUV that's equally at home on Kentucky roads, backcountry trails, and weekend adventures. Ford partnered with legendary outdoor brand Filson to create a Bronco that combines the model's proven off-road performance with premium, durable materials and practical features. Filson-Inspired Design Filson has been making outdoor gear since 1897, with a reputation for products built to withstand demanding conditions. That philosophy carries into the Bronco Filson's interior. The cabin features quilted leather, leather-wrapped surfaces, and durable materials designed to handle real-world use. Filson-inspired saddle bags integrated into the doors and rear sport-bar area provide convenient storage for tools, water bottles, hunting gear, camping equipment, and other essentials. It's a premium interior without losing the Bronco's outdoors-focused personality. Bronco Capability Comes Standard Underneath the unique Filson design is a serious off-road machine. The Bronco Filson is powered by a twin-turbo 3.0L EcoBoost® V6, specially tuned for the model. It also comes equipped with the Sasquatch® package, including: 35-inch tires Front and rear electronic-locking axles GOAT Modes™ FOX® piggyback reservoir shocks High-clearance off-road capability The suspension has been specifically tuned to provide a balance of off-road performance and on-road comfort. Designed for Everyday Driving, Too The Bronco Filson isn't only about what happens after the pavement ends. Ford has also focused on making it more comfortable for everyday use. With the roof installed and windows closed, the Bronco Filson delivers a quieter cabin, with Ford reporting nearly 20% less perceived wind noise than the 2021 Bronco. A camera-based rearview mirror helps maintain visibility when the cargo area is packed, while available automatically deploying running boards make getting in and out easier. And when it's time to have some fun, the removable roof and doors bring back the open-air experience that makes the Bronco unique.

The Ford F-150 enters the 2027 model year with an updated engine lineup, new exterior colors and several changes across its available trims and packages. The 2027 model year is not a complete redesign. Instead, Ford has refined the current F-150 by expanding certain configurations, simplifying others and giving buyers a few new ways to personalize their truck. Here’s what shoppers can expect from the 2027 Ford F-150. The 3.0-Liter EcoBoost Joins the Lineup The biggest mechanical change for 2027 is the introduction of the 3.0-liter V6 EcoBoost engine to the F-150 lineup. This engine takes the place of the outgoing 2.7-liter V6 EcoBoost, which has been removed. Ford had not released final horsepower, torque or fuel-economy figures when the initial order guide was published, so complete performance specifications are still to come. The 3.0-liter EcoBoost will be available across several popular F-150 trims, including XL, STX, XLT and Lariat. Depending on the configuration, it may be standard or available as an option. The remainder of the engine lineup continues to include the available 5.0-liter V8, 3.5-liter EcoBoost, 3.5-liter PowerBoost Full Hybrid and the high-output engines offered in the F-150 Raptor family. The 5.0-Liter V8 Expands to King Ranch and Platinum For drivers who still want traditional V8 power, Ford is expanding availability of the 5.0-liter V8 for 2027. The engine will now be available on King Ranch and Platinum models, giving luxury-truck buyers another option beyond the EcoBoost and PowerBoost powertrains. That means shoppers will be able to combine the sound and character of Ford’s V8 with the premium materials, technology and comfort found inside two of the F-150’s highest trims. Three New Exterior Colors Ford is refreshing the F-150’s color palette with three new paint choices: Birch Sand Neptune Blue Wild Green Availability will vary by trim and appearance package. Wild Green, for example, appears across several configurations but is not listed for King Ranch, Platinum or Raptor models in the initial order guide. To make room for the new colors, Ford is phasing out three previous options: Antimatter Blue Metallic Argon Blue Avalanche Updated Styling for the XLT 302A The popular F-150 XLT 302A equipment group receives a subtle styling upgrade for 2027. Body-color front and rear bumpers are now standard on the XLT 302A, creating a cleaner and more unified exterior appearance. Ford is also introducing a new dealer-installed 22-inch ebony-painted six-spoke aluminum wheel for buyers looking to give their truck a more customized stance. More Off-Road Flexibility Ford is making a few notable changes for buyers interested in off-road performance. The FX4 Off-Road Package is now available on the STX 200A, bringing equipment such as an electronic-locking rear axle, Hill Descent Control and off-road-tuned components to another F-150 configuration. The Tremor will also offer an available front axle with a Torsen differential. This provides Tremor buyers with another way to improve traction and capability when driving across loose or uneven terrain. A New Lariat Chrome Appearance Package A new Lariat Chrome Appearance Package will be available on Lariat 500A and 501A models. It gives shoppers an alternative to the darker, blacked-out appearance packages that have become increasingly common across the truck market. Meanwhile, the previous STX Black Appearance Package has been removed. Black appearance options remain available elsewhere in the lineup, including on XLT and Lariat models. A More Affordable F-150 Tremor One of the most exciting additions for 2027 is a new entry-level Tremor configuration. The new Tremor 400A equipment group gives buyers access to the truck’s core off-road capability without requiring as many premium comfort and technology features. It comes exclusively as a SuperCrew 4x4 with a 5.5-foot bed and is powered by the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Despite its more accessible position in the lineup, the Tremor 400A retains the equipment that defines the off-road-focused truck, including: A 3.73 electronic-locking rear axle Off-road-tuned front and rear shocks Increased ride height Improved approach and departure angles 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tires Skid plates Rock Crawl, Mud/Rut and Deep Snow/Sand drive modes Tremor-specific exterior styling Unique cloth seating with Active Orange stitching Pro Power Onboard 400-watt outlets Higher Tremor equipment groups add features such as power-adjustable seating, heated seats, upgraded audio, additional towing technology and leather-trimmed seating. Ford had not announced final 2027 pricing when the initial order guide was published. However, the addition of the 400A equipment group should create a more affordable entry point for drivers who want genuine Tremor capability without all the premium upgrades. Ford Security Package Options Every 2027 F-150 includes one year of the Ford Security Package, which can provide connected features such as theft alerts, start inhibition and vehicle-location assistance. Modem activation is required. Buyers will also have the option to purchase seven years of coverage through a one-time payment. Exact features may change over time as Ford updates its connected services. Is the 2027 Ford F-150 Worth Waiting For? The 2027 Ford F-150 does not dramatically reinvent Ford’s full-size pickup, but its targeted updates give shoppers more choices in several important areas. The new 3.0-liter EcoBoost represents the most significant change, while expanded V8 availability makes the King Ranch and Platinum more appealing to traditional truck enthusiasts. New colors, revised appearance packages and additional off-road options round out an update focused on variety and customization. Final pricing, engine output and fuel-economy information had not been announced in the initial order guide. Features, packages and availability may also change before production begins.

There’s a moment that hits a lot of first-time towers the same way: you’re standing in a dealership or scrolling through listings, thinking you’ve found the perfect truck for all your towing needs—until someone asks, “but what are you towing?” That’s where towing can seem easy, but difficult if the user isn’t fully equipped. Towing isn’t about having a big truck; It’s about understanding the weight, balance and how everything works within itself. New to the 2026 Ford Truck Lineup includes an advanced, torque powertrain lineup, which delivers impressive payload and trailer tow ratings, across all models. Ford's towing guide lays it all out in detail but here at Hunt Ford in Franklin, KY—we’ve made it easy for you and our customers. First Trailer, Then Truck Start by asking yourself: How much does your trailer weigh fully loaded? What will you be hauling? Where and how you will be driving, Flat land or higher terrain? Before heading out on a trip, check your Ford Owner’s Manual for brakes and in severe duty maintenance schedules. Ford recommends that you don’t tow anything until you’ve reached 1,000 miles on the odometer. Check your state's law/requirements for braking systems on trailers. Many states require a separate braking system on trailers with a loaded weight of more than 1,500 pounds. Ford also recommends that a separate functional brake system be used on any towed vehicle, including those dolly-towed or tobar-towed. The basic types of brake systems designed to activate trailer breaks are Electronically Controlled Brakes, Electric-Over Hydraulic Trailer Brakes or Surge Breaks. Know What Trailer you Need Trailers come in different sizes and shapes. Falling into a few general categories, each one changes what kind of vehicle you need. Light-duty trailers (under 2,000 Ibs) - Small campers, small boats, motorcycles, etc. Mid-range trailers (2,001- 3,500 Ibs) - Single-axle campers or small travel trailers Heavy-duty trailers (3,501 - 5,000 Ibs) - Larger campers, dual-axle trailers Extra-Heavy Duty (over 5,000 Ibs) - Mounted in the truck bed for better stability and weight distribution. The bigger and heavier the trailer is, the more important your setup becomes—not just your engine, but the hitch, brakes and weight balance. The Numbers That Actually Matter This process is where it can get tricky. However, these numbers are the difference between safe towing and damaging your truck. GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating): The maximum your truck itself can weigh, including passengers and cargo. GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating): The maximum weight of your truck PLUS your trailer combined. Tongue Weight: The downward force the trailer puts on your hitch. Typically is less than 10% of the trailer weight. What Truck Best Suits Your Towing Needs? Our biggest suggestion is to not underestimate or overestimate, but most importantly, don’t overspend. F-150: Everyday towing like boats, small campers and utility trailers. You can tow from 8,200 - 13,500 Ibs, depending on engine with the 3.5L EcoBoost H. O. V6 being the lowest and the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 being the highest engine level. Super Duty’s: Built for serious loads—large RVs, equipment and heavy trailers. Four available engine choices are engineered to provide outstanding performance so you can take on whatever the tow throws on you. With max towing starting at 18,900 Ibs in the 6.8L Gas V8 engine, to the 6.7L High Output Power Stroke Diesel engine at 40,000 Ibs. The Bottom Line Towing isn’t about pushing your truck to its limits—but it's about understanding the right setup. It all comes down to knowing your trailer weight, choosing a vehicle that can handle your tow comfortably (but most importantly, if you can handle the vehicle comfortably) and setting everything up correctly before you hit the road. Here at Hunt Ford, we want it to be less about second-guessing and more about feeling confident on your adventure. Still not sure which Ford truck is right for your towing needs?
