Ford Builds a Mach-E for the Road to the Trailhead

For 2027, Ford is adding the slightly more off-road-ready Mach-E Trail to the lineup, available as a $2,295 package on the all-wheel-drive Select trim. It gets a specially tuned suspension with passive front and rear struts and springs, plus 10 mm more ride height up front and 15 mm more in the rear. It's expected at dealers in the first quarter of 2027, with a starting MSRP of $47,335, including destination.

A Mach-E for the Off-Roaders

The Trail borrows some of its bits from the Mach-E Rally, including its steering rack, 19-inch High Gloss Dark Carbonized Gray wheels, and Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires. Trail-only touches include a Carbon Black lower front fascia and special logos on the center armrest. 

According to Ford, its hardware makes the Mach-E Trail capable of going off pavement to loose gravel, sand, or two-track dirt roads. Ford says the extra traction will help in winter conditions, too. However, even with the slight lift compared to a standard Mach-E, the Trail still only has 6 inches of ground clearance, 1 inch less than Hyundai Ioniq 5 XRT and 2.5 inches less than a Subaru Trailseeker or Toyota bZ Woodland. So it’s mostly suited for dirt roads rather than any really challenging terrain. 

Ready for Camp

The Trail also gets Ford's 400-watt Pro Power Onboard, with outlets in the cargo area and at the back of the center console to charge personal devices and run smaller accessories at a campsite. 

An optional Interior Protection package adds all-weather floor mats and a cargo-area protector. And if you want to haul bikes, kayaks, and more up top, a Trail-compatible Clamp On Cross Bar Kit by Thule will be available on Ford's accessories site. 

BlueCruise, Ford's hands-off, eyes-on driver-assist system, is standard on the Mach-E GT and Rally. Since the Trail is built on the Select trim, BlueCruise is optional, and you'll need to choose it when you order because the hardware can't be added later. It comes with the Tech Lite package on the Select and the Premium Tech Pack on Premium Trims. 

BlueCruise lets the driver take their hands off the wheel on compatible roads, but attention is still required, so see where hands-free Level 2 systems fit into today’s self-driving landscape ➜

More Battery Across the Board

The Trail isn't Ford's only Mach-E announcement for 2027. Every Mach-E now comes standard with an extended-range battery. The standard-range pack is gone, so you'll get more range out of the base model. The Select and Premium now offer 88 kWh of usable battery capacity, up from 72 kWh. Ford hasn't released 2027 EPA figures yet, but 2026 models with the extended-range battery were rated at 320 miles. The GT and Rally keep their 91-kWh pack. 

Ford has not published final 2027 range ratings, and battery size alone does not determine how far an EV travels, so see how to compare EPA range, battery capacity, and real-world driving conditions ➜

Along with that extra range comes a slightly higher starting price. The Select now starts at $42,040, $2,200 more than the 2026 model's $39,840. The Premium trim starts at $45,040, up $2,400 from 2026. It's not all increases, though: the GT ($53,040) and Rally ($57,335) are each $2,400 less than their 2026 counterparts.
