Ford's 2027 Super Duty lineup gains a factory-backed Carhartt edition, bringing workwear aesthetics directly to the truck bed. The package arrives exclusively on XLT crew-cab models paired with either the 7.3-liter gasoline V-8 or the 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel engine.
This collaboration bridges two American work institutions. Carhartt has dressed laborers for over 130 years. Ford's Super Duty commands the heavy-duty truck segment with class-leading towing capacity and payload ratings. The partnership acknowledges overlapping customer bases, particularly contractors and tradespersons who value durability over flash.
The XLT trim sits in the middle of Ford's Super Duty hierarchy, positioning the Carhartt package as an accessible entry point for buyers wanting factory branding without stepping up to higher trims. The crew-cab configuration dominates work-truck purchases by prioritizing rear passenger space for crews.
Engine choice matters here. The 7.3-liter V-8 delivers 430 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque with proven reliability in fleet applications. The Power Stroke diesel generates 500 horsepower and 1,050 pound-feet of torque, commanding premium fuel economy and outpulling the gasoline alternative on heavy loads. Diesel buyers sacrifice fuel economy slightly but gain resale value and longevity favored by professional operators.
Carhartt-branded Super Duties join a growing trend of lifestyle packages on work trucks. Ram and Chevrolet already offer similar collaborations, recognizing that tool-carrying vehicles deserve aesthetic treatments reflecting their purpose. These packages typically include badging, unique trim treatments, and branded floor mats rather than mechanical changes.
