Eyes in the back: Super Duty 2027 finally gets a mirror that ignores the cargo
The 2027 Super Duty offers an optional digital rearview mirror on Lariat, King Ranch and Platinum, plus a Carhartt Package and a revised engine lineup.
Ford is rolling out a genuinely useful upgrade for the 2027 Super Duty: the heavy-duty pickup is getting a digital rearview mirror. The Smart Mirror system looks like a regular mirror but, once switched on, turns into a wide screen showing the feed from a rear camera. On the Super Duty, this kind of option makes a lot of sense. It is not an urban crossover where the rear view is normally blocked by nothing more than a couple of headrests.
Heavy-duty pickup owners often haul tall loads, run caps and toolboxes, carry equipment or tow trailers. In those conditions a conventional mirror quickly becomes useless, while a camera feed can noticeably simplify manoeuvring and backing up. The digital mirror will not be available on every version. It will be offered as an option on the Lariat, King Ranch and Platinum. The entry-level XL and XLT go without it.
As standard, every Super Duty keeps a conventional mirror: XL and XLT get an 11.5-inch day/night unit, while Lariat, King Ranch and Platinum receive an auto-dimming electrochromic one. The price of the option has not been announced yet, nor has the full pricing of the 2027 Super Duty.
There are no images of the digital mirror for this particular model either. But the technology itself is not new to Ford: the company first showed Smart Mirror back in 2021, and in North America the system debuted on the 2023 Ford Transit.
The update is not limited to the mirror. The Super Duty 2027 will also receive the Carhartt Package — a version with exterior and interior elements styled after the workwear brand. The package will be offered only on the XLT Crew Cab with single rear wheels and a dedicated set of body colours, including the new Neptune Blue.
On top of that, Ford will refresh the Tremor Off-Road Package, add the Platinum Chassis Cab for the first time and revise the engine lineup, dropping one of its relatively new powerplants. The full powertrain story has yet to be disclosed, but the direction is clear: the Super Duty keeps evolving not only as a work tool but as an expensive, tech-heavy pickup for buyers who actually use its capabilities every day.
The digital mirror here does not feel like a gimmick. On a truck this size, it is one of those options you start to appreciate the very first time the bed or a trailer blocks the entire rear view.
