Yes, you can special order a 2027 F-150 King Ranch or 2027 F-150 Platinum with the 5.0-liter V8, and the first V8 Platinum trucks are already showing up in dealer inventory. What you still can't find is an official starting price: two months after order books opened, Ford has not published King Ranch or Platinum MSRPs, and it has not said what the V8 costs over the standard engine. Here is what is confirmed and what isn't.
The changes themselves — new grilles, the new 3.0L base engine and BlueCruise with towing — are covered in our 2027 F-150 changes and V8 return story. This one is about buying.
Can you order a 2027 F-150 Platinum with the 5.0 V8?
Yes. Ford's own 2027 King Ranch and Platinum pages list the 5.0L V8 as an available engine, and The Drive reported on reveal day (September 15, 2026) that both trims can once again be ordered with it and that the 2027 F-150 was open for orders. On these two trims the engine choices are:
| 2027 King Ranch / Platinum engine | Horsepower | Torque | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3.5L EcoBoost V6 | 400 hp | 500 lb-ft | Standard |
| 5.0L V8 | 400 hp | 410 lb-ft | Available |
| 3.5L PowerBoost hybrid V6 | 430 hp | 570 lb-ft | Available |
Note that the V8 is not a power upgrade over the standard twin-turbo V6: both make 400 hp, and the EcoBoost has 90 lb-ft more torque. Buyers pick the F-150 Platinum 5.0 for the sound and the simpler, naturally aspirated engine, not for the numbers.
Are any 2027 F-150 Platinum V8 trucks available now?
Some are. A Mississippi Ford dealer was advertising a 2027 F-150 Platinum SuperCrew 4x4 with the 5.0L V8 as a recent arrival in mid-November, with a window-sticker MSRP of $82,525. That is one optioned truck, not a base price, but it shows V8 Platinums are being built and shipped. Ford's reveal material said 2027 trucks such as the new F-150 Carhartt would reach customers in early 2027, so availability will vary by dealer and by build.
2027 F-150 King Ranch and Platinum price
Ford has only priced part of the 2027 lineup so far:
| 2027 F-150 | Price |
|---|---|
| XL Regular Cab 4x2 | $40,585 including $2,795 destination |
| F-150 Carhartt (XLT SuperCrew 4x4) | $62,660 plus destination |
| Carhartt Package on its own | $4,195 |
| King Ranch | Not published |
| Platinum | Not published |
| 5.0L V8 option | Not published |
Motor1 noted at the reveal that Ford would release the full price breakdown before the trucks go on sale. We looked for 2027 F-150 King Ranch and Platinum figures from the dealer order guide and found none published by an outlet we could verify, so we are not listing estimates. We'll add the numbers once Ford releases them.
King Ranch and Platinum 5.0 V8 towing and payload
Ford's 2027 technical specifications give these maximums for the 5.0L V8 across the F-150 lineup. They are the best any V8 F-150 can do, not a rating for a specific King Ranch or Platinum:
| 2027 F-150 5.0L V8 | 4x2 | 4x4 |
|---|---|---|
| Max conventional towing | 12,800 lb | 12,800 lb |
| Max payload | 2,235 lb | 2,080 lb |
The 12,800-lb rating needs a SuperCrew with the Max Tow/Haul Package (53T) and the optional Max Tow Axle. For comparison, the standard 3.5L EcoBoost tops out at 13,500 lb on a 4x4. Your own truck's payload is printed on the label in the driver's doorjamb.
The V8 takes 7.75 quarts of oil and runs on regular 87-octane fuel, according to the same spec sheet.
What else the two luxury trims get
- 4x4 system: King Ranch and Platinum use Ford's Torque On Demand two-speed automatic four-wheel drive.
- Wheels and tires: 20-inch wheels are standard — chrome-like PVD on the King Ranch, gloss black on the Platinum — on 275/60R20 tires (all-season on 4x2, all-terrain on 4x4). 22-inch wheels with 275/50R22 tires are optional on both.
- BlueCruise with Towing: hands-free highway driving with a trailer of up to 10,000 lb, capped at 75 mph, for any 2027 F-150 with an active BlueCruise plan or trial.
