2027 Ford Mustang Mach-E Trail Trim Is For Adventure Curiosity

Ford is giving outdoor enthusiasts a reason to look twice at its electric crossover.

The 2027 Mustang Mach-E Trail aims right at buyers who want an EV capable of handling more than just paved highway commuting. Built specifically to tackle the gravel roads, dirt tracks, and rough paths leading to trailheads and campsites, the new Trail trim pairs everyday electric capability with purpose-built off-pavement hardware. It's like Ford's answer to the Subaru Solterra.

Hardware Borrowed from the Rally

Available as a package on the Mach-E Select eAWD trim, the Trail gets a suspension overhaul to boost ground clearance where it counts. Passive front and rear struts and springs lift the body by 10 mm up front and 15 mm in the rear compared to the standard Select and Premium models.

To keep things steady on loose surfaces, Ford lifted key hardware straight from the high-performance Mach-E Rally. That includes its responsive steering rack, 19-inch High Gloss Dark Carbonized Gray alloy wheels, and a set of grippy Michelin CrossClimate 2 all-season tires.

Visually, the Trail sets itself apart with a Carbon Black lower front fascia and subtle Mach-E Trail badging embossed on the center armrest.

Campsite Power and Adventure Accessories

Beyond the suspension tweaks, the Mach-E Trail comes equipped to serve as a mobile basecamp.

A standard 400-watt Pro Power Onboard system places electrical outlets in the rear cargo area and on the back of the center console. That gives campers enough juice to charge personal devices, run camp lights, power electric pumps for inflatable paddleboards, or top off bicycle tires out in the woods.

Ford is also rolling out factory-backed accessories to match. Buyers can equip the crossover with a Thule clamp-on crossbar kit to haul kayaks, bikes, or cargo boxes up top, alongside an optional Interior Protection Package featuring heavy-duty all-weather floor mats and a fitted cargo liner.

To sweeten the deal, Ford is tossing in an extra 100,000 Ford Rewards points on top of the standard 22,000 points provided with every new Mach-E purchase. Buyers can redeem those points directly through their Ford account for outdoor gear, roof racks, subscriptions, or routine service.

Ford has also announced pricing and updates for the rest of the 2027 Mustang Mach-E lineup.

The entry-level 2027 Mach-E Select starts at $42,040 (all prices include destination), marking a $2,200 increase over the previous model year. However, the price hike at the introductory end of the lineup comes with a substantial hardware upgrade under the floorboards.

Among the changes, Ford’s updated BlueCruise 1.5 hands-free driving software can now be added to the Select trim via the Tech Pack Lite, and to the Premium trim through the Premium Tech package.

Standard Extended-Range Batteries Across the Lineup

Ford offset the base price increase by eliminating the smaller, previously standard 70.0-kWh battery pack. The cost savings were achieved by replacing the front electric motor on all-wheel-drive models with a newly designed, equally powerful unit that costs less to manufacture.

As a result, the extended-range 88.0-kWh battery pack now comes standard on the Select, Premium, and new Trail trims. The higher-performance GT grade receives a larger 91.0-kWh usable battery pack as standard equipment.

Price Drops for GT and Rally Models

While entry-level pricing went up, the upper end of the Mach-E hierarchy receives significant price cuts for 2027:

• Select (RWD): Starts at $42,040
• Select (AWD) & Premium (RWD): Start at $45,040 (Adding AWD to Premium costs an extra $3,000)
• Trail (AWD): Starts at $47,335
• GT (AWD): Starts at $53,040 (Down from $55,440 in 2026)
• Rally (AWD): Starts at $57,335 (Down from $59,735 in 2026)

Order banks for the 2027 Ford Mustang Mach-E are currently open, with the first Trail models expected to arrive at dealer lots in early 2027.
