If you work in the Rochester area and have wanted Tremor hardware without stepping up to a loaded Super Duty, 2027 is the year that changes. Ford is making the Tremor Off-Road Package available on all Super Duty models, including XL when you pair it with the STX Appearance Package. That is the short version. Here is what it means if you tow for work during the week and still want factory off-road gear for rough sites, farm roads, or weekend trails. What is new with Tremor for 2027? Ford's From the Road update spells it out. For 2027, Tremor Off-Road Package expands across the Super Duty lineup. On XL, it is offered with the STX Appearance Package. You get the same core Tremor pieces customers already expect: 35-inch tires Factory lift Electronic locking rear differential Skid plates Trail Control Rock Crawl Mode Ford also answered another common request: Tremor is now available on Crew Cab with the 8-foot bed (176-inch wheelbase). So you are not forced to give up bed length to get the off-road package. Ford said 2027 Super Duty would be available to order starting in May. If you are still deciding on a spec, we can walk the option sheet with you at Rochester Ford. Who is this for around Rochester? A lot of Super Duty shoppers here are not buying a show truck. They need something that: Pulls a trailer or equipment during the week Handles muddy job sites, gravel, and soft shoulders Still works as a daily driver on Highway 52 or 14 Does not force a jump to the top trim just to get 35-inch tires and a locker XL with STX plus Tremor is aimed at that buyer. Fleet and owner-operator customers who apply their own graphics also have a related option for 2027: the XL Off-Road 35-Inch Tire Package, which puts 35-inch tires and off-road hardware on an XL work truck with an unbranded exterior (no Tremor decals). That is a separate package from Tremor. Ask us which one fits the truck you actually need. Tremor vs. a basic work truck: the tradeoff Tremor is still a package, not its own trim. You are adding off-road capability on top of the Super Duty you choose. The upside is real ground clearance, 35-inch tires, and factory trail modes. The tradeoff is the usual one with bigger tires and a lift: ride and on-road feel change, and you should confirm payload, tow rating, and tire package details for the exact cab, box, and powertrain you order. We will not invent tow or payload numbers in this post. Those depend on how the truck is built. Bring your trailer weight and typical load, and we will match a 2027 F-250 or F-350 configuration that fits.

Ford finally put a starting price on the electric truck a lot of people have been waiting for. It is called Fathom, and Ford lists it at a starting MSRP of $28,350. Preorders begin early 2027. If you drive around Rochester and have been curious about an affordable EV truck, this is the one to watch. What is the Ford Fathom? Fathom is Ford's new midsize electric truck. It is the first vehicle built on Ford's Universal Electric Vehicle Platform. Ford has not released final EPA range figures yet, so we are not guessing at miles per charge here. What Ford has confirmed is the basics that matter to shoppers: Starting MSRP of $28,350 for the standard-range battery (destination and delivery is $1,595 extra, and the dealer sets the selling price) Preorders begin early 2027 Seating for five, with projected passenger volume above a Toyota RAV4 Bidirectional power capability, so it can send power back to a properly equipped home BlueCruise capability for hands-free highway driving on compatible roads A large center display with navigation powered by Apple Maps Digital Key, Ford app remote control, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard In plain terms, Ford is aiming this truck at people who want to own an EV without paying a full-size truck price. How does Minnesota winter fit into an EV truck? Ford has not published Fathom range numbers yet, so anyone quoting a winter range for this truck is guessing. Here is what we can say from how EVs work in general, and from what Ford has confirmed on Fathom: Charge at home when you can. Overnight Level 2 charging covers most daily driving for people who park at a house or condo with a charger. That is usually the simplest setup in Rochester. Cold weather cuts range on every EV. Plan trips with a buffer in January and February. Once Ford releases EPA estimates, we can talk real numbers. Bidirectional power is useful here. Minnesota storms and outages are real. When your home is set up for it, Fathom can help keep essentials like lights, a fridge and Wi-Fi running. If you already drive a Mach-E, you know the winter drill: precondition while plugged in, keep the battery off empty in deep cold, and do not treat summer range as winter range. The same habits will apply to Fathom. How does Fathom compare with Ford EVs you can buy now? Rochester Ford already sells Ford's current electric and hybrid options. If you need a vehicle now, shop current inventory. If you can wait for a lower-priced EV truck, get on Ford's Fathom update list and talk with us before preorders open in early 2027. Worth knowing: BlueCruise capability is built in, but activation and plan details can add cost. Bidirectional power needs the right home equipment. Ask us to walk through the setup before you preorder. Ready when preorders open We will help Rochester-area shoppers sort out price, timing and trade-in questions when Fathom preorders start in early 2027. Until then, you can: See the Ford EVs and hybrids we have in stock on our electric vehicles page Browse new inventory if you need a truck or SUV before Fathom arrives Stop by Rochester Ford and ask to be put on the Fathom interest list so we can reach you when Ford opens preorders Frequently asked questions How much does the Ford Fathom cost?

What is the Ford Fathom's range? Ford has not released EPA-estimated range figures for Fathom yet. Like every EV, expect less range in a Minnesota winter than in summer.

MSRP excludes destination, taxes, title and fees. Dealer sets the selling price. Features and availability can change. EPA-estimated range for Fathom is not yet available from Ford.

How Often to Rotate Tires: What Every Ford Driver Should Know We all know about rotating tires. The tires rotate on their axels, and that makes the car move, right? Well, not exactly. When we talk about rotating tires, we mean moving your tires to different positions on your vehicle, so they wear evenly and last longer. It’s a very important piece of maintenance for your Ford, but it’s one that a lot of drivers tend to overlook and push to the back burner. We’re here to tell drivers in Rochester, MN that rotating your tires on a regular basis will save you money because your tires will last longer, and tires in top condition keep your Ford running safely and staying in peak condition for the long haul. Why Tire Rotations are Important for Your Ford Regular tire rotations help ensure that your tires wear down evenly over time. Without being rotated, certain tires can wear out much faster than others, depending on if your vehicle is front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, or all-wheel drive. Uneven wear shortens tire life, reduces traction, and can affect how your vehicle handles on the road. Knowing how often to rotate tires is the first step toward protecting your vehicle. How Often Should You Rotate Your Tires? Most automotive experts recommend rotating your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. A good rule of thumb is to have it done every time you get an oil change, which makes it easy to stay on schedule. But you should always check your Ford owner's manual for the specific recommendation for your model, as some vehicles and tire types may have different guidelines. Signs You May Be Overdue for a Rotation Even if you haven't hit that mileage mark yet, there are a few signs that your tires may need attention. Vibration in the steering wheel, uneven tread depth across your tires, or pulling to one side while driving can all point to uneven wear. If you notice any of these issues, it's worth scheduling a service visit sooner rather than later. What Happens If You Skip Rotations? Skipping tire rotations might not seem like a big deal at first, but the effects add up quickly. Tires that wear unevenly need to be replaced sooner, which costs more in the long run. Beyond that, worn tires can impact braking performance and overall vehicle safety - especially in winter conditions common to the Rochester, MN area. Regular rotations are a small investment that helps you avoid a much larger expense down the road. Keeping Up with Tire Maintenance at Rochester Ford Knowing how often to rotate your tires is one of the easiest ways to extend the life of your vehicle and maintain a smooth, safe ride. The service team at Rochester Ford is here to help you stay on schedule with all of your routine maintenance needs.
