The 2027 Ford Super Duty Chassis Cab lineup offers specialized capability, heavy-duty frame design, and commercial grade features for fleet operators and businesses in Nisku, Alberta. Available across F-350, F-450, F-550, and F-600 series in XL, XLT, Lariat, and Platinum trims, the 2027 chassis cab lineup introduces major standard equipment updates designed to simplify upfitting and streamline commercial operations. Key updates for 2027 include making the 7.3L gas engine standard on the F-600, standardizing the CNG/Propane Gaseous Engine Prep Package on all 7.3L gas models, and adding factory speed limitation options specifically for commercial fleets.
What Is New on the 2027 Ford Super Duty Chassis Cab?
Ford has introduced several key product changes for the 2027 Super Duty Chassis Cab that directly benefit commercial fleet management and upfit flexibility:
- F-600 Powertrain Shift: The F-600 model now comes standard with the 7.3L 2V DEVCT NA PFI V8 gas engine, which previously featured the 6.7L Power Stroke Turbo Diesel as standard equipment.
- Standard CNG/Propane Prep: The CNG/Propane Gaseous Engine Prep Package is now standard equipment whenever the 7.3L gas engine is selected, eliminating the need to order Option 98G separately.
- Fleet Speed Limitation Options: Commercial fleets with a valid Fleet FIN code can now equip XL and XLT models with factory-set speed limiters for 105 km/h (Option 926) or 121 km/h (Option 927).

- Exterior Updates: Bright Chrome Grille (Option 60L) is newly available on XL models equipped with the XL Chrome Package (96V). Exterior color updates include new Neptune Blue and Iconic Silver, while Argon Blue Metallic, Avalanche, and Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat have been deleted.
Engine Options and Commercial Powertrains
The 2027 Super Duty Chassis Cab offers two highly capable engine options to suit varying operational demands. Official horsepower and torque ratings for both engines are currently preliminary and to be determined for the 2027 model year.
- 7.3L 2V DEVCT NA PFI V8 Gas: This gas engine comes standard across the entire chassis cab lineup. It includes a 190 AMP alternator on the XL trim, which is upgraded to 410 AMP Dual alternators on XLT through Platinum trims.
- 6.7L 4 Valve OHV Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel: Available as an option across all models, this diesel powerplant includes Operator Commanded Regeneration (OCR) and comes standard with 410 AMP Dual alternators.
Both engines are paired with a Ten-Speed Automatic Transmission featuring Selectable Drive Modes, including Normal, Eco, Tow/Haul, Trail (on 4x2 models), Off-Road (on 4x4 models), and Slippery Roads.
A Power Take Off (PTO) Provision is standard on all engines. When equipped with the 6.7L Power Stroke Diesel, the PTO system includes Transmission Mounted Live Drive and stationary mode PTO.
