Frequently asked questions
What Is the Super Duty Black Appearance Package?
The Black Appearance Package is Ford’s factory blackout styling treatment for the Super Duty. Instead of the chrome and bright trim that define most heavy-duty trucks, it swaps in gloss-black wheels, darkened accents, and body-color bumpers for a clean, monochromatic, aggressive look — the “murdered-out” aesthetic, done from the factory rather than the aftermarket.
It’s an appearance package, so it’s about how the truck looks rather than how it performs off-road. But it’s not just stickers and wheels — it also adds genuinely useful hardware like a spray-in bedliner and wheel well liners, which most buyers would add anyway.
What’s Included in the Black Appearance Package?
The 2027 Black Appearance Package (option 17L) includes:
- 20-inch Ebony Black High-Gloss premium painted aluminum wheels
- Front and rear Ebony Black wheel ornaments
- 6-inch Ebony Black angular running boards
- Body-color front and rear bumpers (no chrome)
- Black painted front grille surround
- Box side decal (4x4, FX4, or Tremor)
- Tough Bed® spray-in bedliner — includes tailgate guard, black box bed tie-down hooks, and black bed attachment bolts
- Rear wheel well liners
- All-terrain tires (LT275/65R20)
The package pairs with the XLT Premium Package, so you also get that package’s content — LED lighting, heated front seats, power-folding tow mirrors, and more — as part of the build.
Which Trims and Configurations Can Get It?
The Black Appearance Package is available on XLT (Crew Cab) and Lariat. There are some firm requirements and restrictions to know before you build:
Requires:
- F-250 or F-350, 4x4, Single Rear Wheel (SRW)
- The XLT Premium Package (17P)
Not available with:
- Dual Rear Wheel (dually) trucks
- The Camper Package or Snowplow/Camper Package
- Marsh Gray paint
So this is a single-rear-wheel build on the F-250 or F-350 — if you need a dually or you’re ordering with the Camper or Snowplow/Camper package, the Black Appearance Package won’t pair with it. We can confirm exactly how it fits your intended build.
What’s Different on the Lariat Version?
Both XLT and Lariat get the core blackout content, but the Lariat version adds a few extra darkened touches:
- Dark fender badge with an Ebony Black fender vent surround
- Ebony Black painted mirror caps
So if you want the most complete blacked-out look, the Lariat build carries the theme a little further than the XLT. Both are sharp — it comes down to how loaded you want the rest of the truck.
Key Takeaways
- The Black Appearance Package (option 17L) is a factory blackout styling treatment for the 2027 Super Duty.
- Includes 20-inch Ebony Black gloss wheels, black running boards, body-color bumpers, black grille surround, Tough Bed liner, and rear wheel well liners.
- Available on XLT Crew Cab and Lariat; requires 4x4 SRW and the XLT Premium Package.
- Not available on dually trucks, with the Camper or Snowplow/Camper packages, or in Marsh Gray paint.
- The Lariat version adds a dark fender badge, black vent surround, and black mirror caps.
What Colors Work With the Black Appearance Package?
The blackout look is at its most dramatic in darker paint — Agate Black Metallic delivers the full murdered-out effect — but it also creates striking contrast on lighter colors like Oxford White, where the gloss-black wheels and trim pop hard against the body.
The one restriction to know: the Black Appearance Package is not available with Marsh Gray paint. Beyond that, the standard 2027 palette is open, including the new-for-2027 Neptune Blue. If you have a specific color in mind, tell us when you reserve and we’ll confirm it pairs with the package.
Is the Black Appearance Package Worth It?
For the right buyer, it’s an easy yes — and here’s the honest way to think about it.
It makes sense if: you want a distinctive, aggressive look without aftermarket wheels and vinyl, you like the idea of a factory-built blackout that keeps your warranty intact, and you value that the package bundles in genuinely useful hardware (the Tough Bed liner and wheel well liners are things a lot of buyers add anyway). You’re essentially getting the look plus some practical protection in one factory option.
It may not be the right fit if: you need a dually, you’re building a Camper or Snowplow/Camper truck, or you want the work-truck simplicity of an XL. The package’s requirements tie it to a specific XLT or Lariat 4x4 SRW build.
For a lot of central Minnesota buyers who want their truck to look as serious as the work it does, the Black Appearance Package hits the mark — it’s a clean, intentional look that holds up year after year.
